One year ago today, the world was made a little brighter by the birth of a special little girl named Sadie. She arrived on a blustery early spring day, staring intently, if not quite focused, at the window full of strange people waiting to greet her, family members from both sides, and many friends as well. Held in her father’s arms, she watched as we danced around, angling for a better view, what seemed like dozens of cameras making the first pictures. That was the start of a love affair that will last my whole life long. No matter what happens, Sadie owns a piece of my heart, and she always will. I was unprepared for the blunt force of love that hit me when Sadie was born. I had always thought that one of my gifts was my ability to love, and to love well and faithfully. Along came Sadie, and I learned that love cannot be contained, and it cannot be measured. A life and a heart filled with love can expand and grow, infinitely, as love comes from the one who is love.

Being the mother of sons, it was a new and wonderful experience for me to have a little girl to enjoy. It wasn’t too long before she learned to smile, and she does it with a radiance that lights up her whole body. When she smiles, she glows, and she smiles all the time. She laughs with her whole little body. She seems to have been crafted from pure joy, and every moment is sunshine to her. From her silky blond hair and shiny blue eyes to the tips of her tiny little toes, she is a blessing, a gift to be savored, loved, treasured as the greatest of gifts from God above, the gift of love.

Moments after John McCain calls fellow Republicans’ Rand Paul and Ted Cruz “wacko birds” (with the Huffington Post) Rand Paul steps into the same elevator.

Squawkward !

Obviously I admire Rand Paul’s self restraint.   If it had been me in his position, I probably would have hit the emergency stop button and asked him (quite deliberately) “hey dipshit, whatever happened to that ‘I won’t support Brennan until we get all the Bengazi information’ point you were holding?…… Never mind – Maverdick indeed”

This probably, no… wait, check that,… This IS the most reflective example of Prog-logic twisted into Obamacare-like contortions to conflate an argument.   Just like Nancy Pelosi’s “we have to pass the bill to see what is in it” comment.   This comment that “It’s legal to hunt humans” by Dianne Feinstein shows, quite clearly, how logic is dispatched by the prog mind to shape ideology.

Let this sink in:

…”it’s legal to hunt humans”…

Deep Breath – Watch it again…… “it’s legal to hunt humans”

Really?

There is not a penguin big enough.

Visible signs are all around us – whether we pay attention to them or not, they still exist.

WASHINGTON DC – Hours after CIA Director John Brennan took the oath of office—behind closed doors, far away from the press, perhaps befitting his status as America’s top spy—the White House took pains to emphasize the symbolism of the ceremony.

“There’s one piece of this that I wanted to note for you,” spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at their daily briefing. “Director Brennan was sworn in with his hand on an original draft of the Constitution that had George Washington’s personal handwriting and annotations on it, dating from 1787.” […] (more…)

Someone had requested a reference list of “key players” in the George Zimmerman case; To be used by people who are unfamiliar with all the parties and the web of interconnections of their association.

It is actually a very valuable question, and in fact I was considering putting together as such. However, absent of the sheer exhaustive time it would take to gather names and identities as well as describe how they relate, perhaps there is another useful tool already in place.

The Side-Bar Site Search feature

I will list a bunch of people by name that can be entered into the search box. When you search them by name you will find the key links that associate with them. Many of those links are in-depth profiles of who they are and how they relate. (more…)

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler

Here’s a rather disturbing segment where Jimmy Kimmel interviews people on the streets of LA and asks them a confusing question. “What do you think about Obama pardoning the Sequester, and sending it to Portugal?” Scary comedy ensues….
