- Thanks for all the questions!
- I'm traveling to Belize and according to the CDC it is a zika free zone, however, all the surrounding countries are effected. Is this because of poor reporting? Should I be concerned?

This was my first comment on the Early Bird post…
Good Wednesday, Chipsticks…TOD Family!
Something we all need to get us through this election season…
Everyone, enjoy your day.
[It got eaten up by the WP black hole.]
It’s a beauty! Thanks for trying again and congrats on first!
Thanks, Dudette. I hope you’re having a fantastic day.
Thank you, Dear! You too!
This will never get old. I’ve got a Shadenfruede hole to fill the size of the Grand Canyon:
I usually print funny toons and paste them to my wall. This one will join them. Thanks for posting.,
Oh this gave me a good laugh out loud that I sorely need :D :D :D

Sniper on the roof - OMG! Crazy people live here! 😳
Congratulations, SWbluega! The Obamas at SXSW is way cool!
Thanks, Judith! :-D
Good morning again TOD family.
Alycee posted on the last thread, a video made by my CA Lt. Gov., Gavin Newsom. It is well done and I would like to see it turned into a tweet for Californian’s and others to watch it and then make it trend.
Thanks! <3
Chipsticks, this cartoon is the best!
Bernie Sanders won a Colorado caucus and very liberal Minnesota. Of course he was going to win Vermont. He won OK by ten.
Every place else he got blown out of the water. That’s why Massachusetts was huge. It was right in his wheelhouse and Bernie couldn’t deliver.
Mornin’. Hope everyone’s enjoying their day, so far! Not sure if this has been posted here, but apparently President Obama has endorsed Patrick Murphy in Florida for the U.S. Senate. If anyone is looking for an individual candidate to donate to or work for, Murphy comes highly recommended! Here’s the link to his website, and the President’s own words:
http://www.murphyforflorida.com
“I am proud to endorse Congressman Patrick Murphy for the United States Senate. Patrick has been a tireless champion for middle-class families and a defender of the economic progress that American workers and businesses have made. In Congress, he’s fought to strengthen Medicare and Social Security, reform our criminal justice system, and protect a woman’s right to choose. Floridians can count on Patrick Murphy to stand up for them every day as their next Senator.”
— President Barack Obama, 03/02/16
Waiting for the insults to fly from Grayson.
Ugh.
His sour grapes will have no effect on POTUS and more likely will help Senator-to-be Murphy.
I’m weary of loons, left or right. We don’t need Grayson in the Senate.
Loon is an epithet that fits the Congressman well. I, too, find him a bit over the top.
Its the Obama effect I believe. We are solidfying what we are looking for in a leader and know now that its possible to elect fantastic people to office. Its empowering.
Yay!
Can’t decide which one is my favorite! Could be “Why hasn’t President Obama sent in the Navy Seals to rescue him?”
Worth your time. Good read. Revenge of the Simple: How GWB Gave Rise to Trump.
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/revenge-of-the-simple-how-george-w-bush-gave-rise-to-trump-20160301
I made a comment last week about this: that we would elect such a simpleton as GWB led to Sarah Palin, led to the tea party taking over government, led to Trump………
You gals are simply too smart for me. It’s true. In their soul searching, that is for those GOP that still have a soul not yet traded to big oil, big corporations or the Koch Brothers - they will realize that it all started with one of their own, be it GWB or even Reagan some will say, since he sought the Evangelicals’ support.
It’s all part of a long range plan by the Stavros cabal. :-(
Thanks, Dudette. He seems tired and I wish the media would give him a break and a much needed vacation.
He’s probably planning a nice 1-month vacation with Gabby before the Presidential election starts. :)
Just as a little aside, I think Gabby is his twin brother’s wife, which it took me a while to recognize!
Ooops - thanks JO’B for pointing this out…I confuse the two all the time. I give up! (Throws hands up in the air and runs)…. :) :)
For a long time, I didn’t even know there were two of ’em! I was like all “Ooops” to myself, then!
Well I’m sure he’ll see his Brother Mark and Sister-in-law Gabby sometime soon! I doubt he’ll fet much until after all the official briefings and additional interviews are done on Friday.
“fet” — what the heck is that? I meant “rest”. Sorry! :roll:
Diplomacy has consequences.
Boy, he’s lookin’ trim. Can’t even begin to imagine what kind of a brain and emotional outlook you’d need to spend a year in space, and then return in one piece - physically and emotionally, looks like! Hope his transition home is better than even he could imagine.
Glad to see CDR Scott Kelly back on Earth!
Don’t make me laugh. I am at work, peeping…
Hello TOD. Sunny Blue Sky. No snow ;)
Congrats to all the Au :star: winners, since last Evening.

WH Presser with Josh “The Voice” Earnest, LIVE, scheduled at 12:30PM EDT
While I too joked about moving to Canada, I don’t feel comfortable with it being a big topic on Twitter. What should be trending is for us to motivate the slackers to get out and VOTE in November.
The Power for Change is in Our Hands!!!!
I am seeing unnecessary hysteria building and no one putting a stop to it.
People Please!
ohhh boyyyyyyyyyyy..
Snoozefest! Ugh!
Good Gracious me. I am lol it’s embarrassing.
Can they choose Romney if the Republicans have a brokered convention? Just curious.
Yup!
wow///Imagine that
When I heard Romney is speaking tomorrow my first thought is he is getting back in or hoping to be appointed at their convention.
Pray for me, I’m in Denver this week for work related training. I’m in a classroom full of flat-tax nuts, and everyone of them loves Trump.
Much prayer for you Don. I know how you feel.
It’s ironic that the 2012 GOP slate — including Michelle Bachman and Herman “beki-beki-stan-stan/9-9-9” Cain — don’t seem quite as outrageously klownish and nightmarish compared to the GOP’s cast of characters in this election.
Hold your tongue Don, hold your tongue.
It’s a struggle, trust me, it’s a struggle. Two more days then I fly back home.
I have faith and belief that you will make it through this trying time {{{HUGS}}}} :-)
As much as you may be tempted, don’t engage with them. You know what they say about arguing with fools.
And then there’s this:
If nothing else, it’ll help you keep your sanity. ;-)
Brava swbg! :-D
Find a happy place Don! :-)
OMG. {{{{Don}}}}
In the 80’s my husband had a three week training in Dallas, TX that I was to attend with him and participate in spouse workshop training. He was with a major company headquartered in the NW. I was substitute teaching and the mother of four children. Even though I had known people and had friends from Texas when my husband was in the military I felt like I had entered another world where expectations for wives were aligned with the Stepford wives. Independent thinking, facts and professionalism was not encouraged in spouses. I felt like I was on another planet.
Arrested for WHAT? smh
…walking down a public hallway while Black…
back to work ….
Most read for the superior humor herein about the face of Bridgegate Christie yesterday behind the “golden head” of Il Douche.
He’s getting desperate. Is the noose tightening around his neck regarding bridgegate?
That was maybe the final, final appearance by Christie at a Trump hootenanny … I don’t think Trump will want him taking up the news cycle like he did after this. Noticed when Christie went to stand right behind Trump in camera view, he motioned for Trump’s son to move over next to him behind Trump but the son declined. Even the son doesn’t want to be in the picture with those two! Off to read this story - thanks.
TY for posting, NCLB …. here’s Olivia Nuzzi’s (the author) tweet (so everyone can give her a little love :) )
https://twitter.com/PhilipRucker/status/705104934342172673 Is this the TRUTH now?
Has he just waken up to reality, facts, numbers, and polls?
Rupert Murdoch playing kingmaker or messing with us.
Finally, The Truth of it all is Clear!
$$ $$ $$
Yes!
I’m sure he’s R-E-E-A-A-L-LY going to be missed at the debate. At least the moderators don’t have to keep reminding themselves that he is there and to toss a question his way…and he won’t have to beg for someone to attack him so that he’ll get a chance to speak.
:D :D :D
how Ionic that it has always been the Christian Cross that was the symbol of the Night Riders
Some of you believe that the only way to show your support for Senator Sanders is to go on social networking sites and shit all over Hillary Clinton. You have decided that she is an “evil corporate shill” who isn’t progressive enough for you. You don’t think she’s a “real” liberal because she is a moderate. You have demonized her because she made money speaking to Wall Street. You have called her names because she stayed with her husband after he cheated on her. Apparently sticking with her marriage “in good times and bad” and taking her commitment seriously, even when Bill didn’t, means she isn’t a “real” feminist. All of this nonsense is embarrassing.
For some reason, some of you have decided to act like a bunch of children…What really, really pisses me off though is the whole “Clinton is a closet Republican who doesn’t care about the little guy” bullshit. You’ve erased decades of progressive accomplishments because she’s not YOUR candidate.
Heads up
