I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Jackie -- Have a lovely celebration today, and many good wishes are going your way for lots and lots more birthdays!

Have a wonderful day, Jackie! Happy, happy day!

Obama rattled the saber (looks strong on using weapons).

Obama went to Congress for permission to use the saber (shows respect for separations of powers).

Obama negotiated with Russia for help with Syria (shows he will negotiate).

Repubs freak out at saber rattling (look weak on defending American interests).

Repubs deny permission to use saber (still the party of NO).

Repubs hate that Obama negotiated with Russia (would rather now rattle saber - flip flop)

No wonder Obama is always smiling.

Belated Happy Birthday Jackie!!!

Jackie .. glad you are enjoying your birthday today.  We celebrated mine yesterday as Tim was home and he made me a wonderful dinner.  He won't be home on Tuesday when it's actually my b-day.

The noodles sound really good!  It IS hard to lose weight.  It took me over a year to lose 45 lbs.  Then you have to be careful what you eat so you can maintain the weight loss!  I did have some birthday cake last night and it was really good!

Wishing you all the best,

Bren

Jackie, happy birthday. Hop you have a wonderful celebration today.

HB to you too Bren!

I think this will be huge......but it does lack calories for all its yumminess.....Happy Birthday Bren and as many more as you want.

Bren, I deleted the cake the first time because it was way, way too big.  Hoping this as well doesn't turn out too giant size.

Angry House Republicans demand better communication
By Molly K. Hooper

Republican lawmakers are growing increasingly frustrated with what they say is a lack of communication from their leaders.

Both centrist and conservative members in the House believe that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his lieutenants could have done more earlier this year to counter the Tea Party's effort to defund ObamaCare. Some Republicans on Capitol Hill say such an effort is politically impossible with a Democratic-controlled Senate and a Democrat in the White House. Regardless, the rift on what to do on ObamaCare has opened up a civil war within the GOP.

That deep division is flaring at a time when fiscal showdowns are front and center following the August recess.

Interesting.....sometimes you hang yourself with your own rope.

A drive by wave.  Been a bad week and I need to go to bed.  Dad's still in the hospital, lots of problems.
