Open Thread: Happy Birthday JJ!!

Birthday-Cake-Candles

 

I’m guessing Dakinikat had another rough night at work last night. She will probably put up a post later this afternoon.

For now, I thought I’d post an open thread to celebrate a very important birthday. Our beloved JJ turned one year older today, but I’m not going to ask her the number. I just know she’s much younger than I am.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JJ!!!

Have a wonderful day!

And now, a few quick headlines.

Guardian Editorial, The Guardian view on Hillary Clinton: hammering the glass ceiling (again).

Washington Blade, Meet the gay couple in Clinton campaign video.

The Guardian, Hillary Clinton’s journey to Iowa: 1,000-mile road trip in a ‘Scooby-Doo’ van.

I liked this piece by Greg Sargent, What Hillary Clinton’s campaign announcement video tells us.

Look who’s talking: Mitt Romney says “Hillary Clinton is just not trustworthy.” (CBS Local Washington)

The New York Times: Marco Rubio Announces Presidential Bid.

Ugh. The Guardian again, Walter Scott shooting: officer laughs about adrenaline rush in recording.

ABC News, AP Was There: Original AP Report of Lincoln’s Assassination.

What else is happening?

    Pathetic Republican woman attacks Hillary for admitting her gender.

    GOP Strategist: I Don’t Need Hillary ‘To Drown Me In Estrogen’ (VIDEO)

      Yawn. They are pathetic. Of course, it’s all frantic attempts to distract you from the fact that their policies are designed to make things worse for everyday Americans.

        That Republican strategist can go suck on lemons. We have Hillary. They have nobody.

        It’s Official! Our Girl Is In!

        First, I want all you Uppityites to take one minute to bask. Hell, take an hour! Take your time, I’ll wait…. Meanwhile, the rest of you can go ahead and take all the time you need to suck lemons.

        Yes, Hillary has now formally announced her candidacy for President of The United States. And this time, we’re Ready. Not only are WE Ready, so are plenty of her 2008 detractors in the Democratic Party. Gee I wonder why?

        This is no longer a Race-Against-Gender race. Nor is it a Gender-vs-Gender race. Instead, it’s a race where we have the most qualified candidate who just happens to know more about our government than…well pretty much anybody, more about foreign policy than just about anybody, the Woman who repaired plenty of relationships around the world that were fractured by GWB. The Woman who knows policy like nobody else knows policy, and no matter how many times they trot out the Hillary Nutcracker, these things will not change. That’s what scares the detractors.

        You are going to see plenty of the same-old-same-old remarks. Bloo Dress Bloo Dress! But take heart, friends. After decades of the same tired cartoons and remarks, it’s become a de-sensitizing experience. Remember this: Hillary Clinton in 2008 received more primary votes than ANY candidate in ANY primary, EVER. And that was in spite of all the vitriol, all the invectives and all the Nutcrackers. She has suffered those invectives throughout decades from threatened patriarchal dipwads, and she has survived to remain the most popular woman in the WORLD.

        It’s Official! Our Girl Is In!

    Yeesh. The whackos can be nearly overwhelming:

    Tweeters suggest Hillary Clinton’s logo resembles 9/11 attacks

    Hillary Clinton’s new campaign logo was the subject of fevered comment as soon as it hit the internet on Sunday. Some pointed out flaws in its basic symbolism, as a red arrow – the colour of US Republicanism – striking to the right, through what people said looked like a blue blockade. Wikileaks entered the fray to accuse Hillary of plagiarising their own logo, which also, erm, features a red arrow.

    But others saw a more sinister image at play.

    Is it just me or that Hillary Clinton’s campaign logo looks like the plane hitting the towers? pic.twitter.com/I8wKD5GFF3

    Some Twitter users interpreted the logo in a slightly different way:

    “Her logo looks like the Twin Towers”. No, it’s an H, you idiots. For Hillary. HER NAME.

    This sounds significant, and it’s more praise for Our Champion:

    European foreign ministers back Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid

    The foreign ministers of Germany and France appear to have come close to breaking with diplomatic convention by publicly backing Hillary Clinton’s bid for the US presidency.

    Laurent Fabius of France and Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany offered unusual praise for Clinton, who on Sunday revealed she was joining the race to replace Barack Obama at the helm of US government.

    Holy shit. BB thank you, yeah I’m fucking forty-five today. But it’s alright like you said I got my gift/wish yesterday. To all of you wishing me happy birthday today, thank you so much. Only problem is that I am still sick. It has gotten worse and today the doctor says its bronchitis. If the meds don’t work by the end of this week she is putting me in the hospital. Which sucks ass. This birthday blows big time but the b-day messages here and this open thread complete with cakes and candles make me feel so much better. Love you all so damn much. Xoxoxo 😷 – JJ Sent by my iPhone
