IN MY LIFETIME I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL NEWS STORIES REGARDING POOR AND CONTAMINATED WATER SOURCES…THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT…AND MANY MUNICIPALITES TRY TO GET AWAY WITH IT BY REFUSING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY…THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE TOO OFTEN.
Not just municipalities and states. My health issues stem from contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. The known contamination went on for about 40 years; just in the last two years that the feds are admitting to it…
OTHER PROBLEMS WITH WATER…PEOPLE FLUSHING THEIR UNUSED MEDICATIONS…YOWZA!..GROUND INFILTRATION FROM INSECTICIDES AND OTHER LANDFILL AND FARMING PCBS…MY DEAR…YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR FOOD!
I remember the President’s first SOTU as though it were yesterday! One of my favorite things is when the Sergeant-at-Arms introduces each President … couldn’t wait to hear him say it that year, and have Barack Obama walk in!!!!
I remember that as well, JO’B. Why is it that time feels so compressed as you get older? These years have flown by and I can;t bear the thought that this great man’s presidency will one day be a memory.
Close tie on 1st - Okey and Scott
Belated gm from my world.
Love the tweet Nerdy
Love the Fired Up video - still be watching that as long as I can
Heading back to read the day on TOD
Hi TS! Do you know anything about an Australian ad about the (good) potential of Syrian refugees? I think it was one man featured in the ad. A few days ago I was driving to work and the morning announcer was going on and on and on about this 90 sec great Australian ad which made me want to see it. Of course by the time I remembered about it again the next day I couldn’t seem to locate it on google from my memory of his comments, so I figured I’d use my own contact from ‘down under’. ;)
In a word - no - but I don’t watch alot of TV - and rarely, if ever, ads
May have been a show on SBS and/or the ABC. Our attitude seems to be the RWNJs saying take no refugees & others being supportive. Also alot of people wanting only “the christians” - in our country which has a larger % of the population every year saying they have “no religion”
Oh well, I tried. I kind of hate hearing interesting stuff on my car radio because I invariably forget to check it out more thoroughly when I get to work. :(
All is very well in my corner, TS (especially if I don’t count the fact that I’m contracted to work daily - even if it’s only part time - till the beginning of February). :D
WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP OUR OWN HOUSE BEFORE WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN CLEANING UP ANYONE ELSES…………..WE CANNOT BE AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS IN THIS CURRENT CULTURE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SACRIFICED HIS PERSONAL LIFE FOR NEARLY 8 YEARS TO LIFT THIS NATION OUT OF FRANKLY…A SELF IMPOSED DARKNESS…IT IS OUR GREED,SELFISHNESS.MATERIALISM,RACISM…YOU NAME IT…WE SUFFER FROM SO MANY OF THOSE DISEASES. ONLY GOD CAN LIFT A NATION OR THIS WORLD FOR THAT MATTER…IT IS THE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD WHO HAVE IGNORED ALL THAT OUR VALUES SHOULD BE….AND GOD WILL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION REGARDING THIS PLANET.
some of the things that have puzzled me in the gop primary is media & gop trying hard to convince us that
- dumb-as-doorknob rubio has ANY foreign policy depth & understanding of complex geopolitics. that this ill-informed scumbag can even say something of substance in response to what PBO has done & is planning;
- jeb has foreign policy and national security experience - why? because he was a son of a prez & bro to another?
- an election “miracle” is going to happen in NH and suddenly convince base voters that kaisch is their best chance at winning WH since he is governor of Ohio
It wasn’t getting enough traction from the DEM candidates to pickup his cause so IL Dunce-o had to do his own dirty work. Maybe
Dunce will send his investigators to Canada to research Ted Cruz’s canadian birth certificate.
Cruz obviously scared DT and he’s peddling like crazy to undercut him. I don’t think Bruce Springsteen is going to be pleased about this blowhard using his music.
Guess what? Who the hell is going to cry over this Ted Cruz birther? Ted Cruz sat back and kept his mouth shut when that racists liar Trump were questioning if President Obama was born in this country, well now Trump is hitting him.
My twitter timeline tells me that tonight’s Golden Globes is a disaster — not surprising, considering the warmed-over, unimaginative dreck Hollywood produces IMHO.
Don’t really like Chris Moody, but this 4 minute video is well done — especially the GOP rebuttals (from Jindal’s hilarious [creepy?] entrance, to Jodi Ernst, Marco (thirsty) Rubio, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and ending with the felon Bob McDonnell).

What on earth is the hold that Trump has on the media - they bow down to him, refuse to call out his lies and dismiss anyone who would support his opponents - this is truly scarrey for a democracy

ABC News severed the partnership it had with the New Hampshire Union Leader, the state’s largest newspaper, for its next Republican debate, a network spokesperson told Politico on Sunday.
The report did not specify exactly why the network severed its partnership, but an unnamed source told Politico that the relationship between the network and newspaper has been strained after the Union Leader participated in the Democratic debate last month and published editorials on its front page railing against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
I like Leo a lot. It was tough being nominated for an Oscar at 18 years - showing a beautiful heart for a while - then trying to play the bad guy after that. He has been openly big on Climate Change action since Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ in 2006. And is a big advocate for clean renewables. Tonight — the protections of indigenous peoples.
Bravo Leo!! Onward and congrats.
You know, Hf, after all these years it’s only just this minute occurred to me why you’ve always been so obsessed with nighttime bites - too much Twilight Zone.
First time I ever saw/heard David Bowie, I was 14. He was on Soul Train on the Armed Forces TV network when we were stationed in Germany. He was weird and wonderful. Couldn’t get enough of him from day one. Forever love. ❤️❤️❤
David Bowie ~ Golden Years https://t.co/BmmwQRi8IO
Dudette, I’m shocked and saddened to hear of David Bowie’s death. Thanks for these memories. He paved the way for so many today. What talent, what a heart, what an icon. Condolences to Iman and his family. RIP, David.

Toodle-di-doo. Now you see me; next I’m gone
Sorry about that - I tried the google but it gave me no joy
Hope your new year is going well
No apology needed. Thanks for looking.
All is very well in my corner, TS (especially if I don’t count the fact that I’m contracted to work daily - even if it’s only part time - till the beginning of February). :D
We have our major school break Dec-Jan. Best time to work is January - absence of school reduces traffic by epic proportions.
Yea, that’s like our summer vacation here - definitely less traffic on the roads.
:D :D Geez, I’m going. I’m gooo….
WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP OUR OWN HOUSE BEFORE WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN CLEANING UP ANYONE ELSES…………..WE CANNOT BE AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS IN THIS CURRENT CULTURE.
Well, Pf, Rubio is an empty suit who just spouts whatever comes to his mind. Sad that this Ines is even more empty headed than he is.
Here is war on terror according to Republicans like Rubio…….Sending Americans troops over there to fight in another war.
These Republicans have never seen a war they didn’t like, specially when they can send someone else kids over there to die.
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SACRIFICED HIS PERSONAL LIFE FOR NEARLY 8 YEARS TO LIFT THIS NATION OUT OF FRANKLY…A SELF IMPOSED DARKNESS…IT IS OUR GREED,SELFISHNESS.MATERIALISM,RACISM…YOU NAME IT…WE SUFFER FROM SO MANY OF THOSE DISEASES.

All is well, Jacqueline. Thank you.

I love this moment. It’s tough to be the conscience of a nation and he has given his voice to many great causes.
G’Night every. body. and have yourselves a very good and productive week!

You know, Hf, after all these years it’s only just this minute occurred to me why you’ve always been so obsessed with nighttime bites - too much Twilight Zone.
Sleep well yourself, when you get to bedtime. :D
Ha! I never thought of it that way..but you may be right vc. :)
