Reminds me of you leaving for A.F. boot training. Big hug.
Here’s some other momentous things that happened on November 17th’s…
Apparently, Gottalaff is celebrating the day of her birth today, so here’s a salute to the best co-editor, funnies quipster and friend that a gal could have! Love ya, kid.
We only do the fundraiser every quarter, but there are ways you can help support us every day, from clicking on ads (Google, Amazon and occasionally the actual paid for BlogAd) to buying stuff from Amazon after clicking our link to them, to monthly subscriptions at our Support TPC page to just a straight forward donation here or the buttons to your right.
We’re both struggling right now with more crap than ya’ll care about, but the reason we get up every morning is to get the news for you. And it’s only going to get crazier here in the next few months. We thank you.
I have a very distinct memory of being at the college where my Mom worked, in one of the basement areas listening to this and being acutely aware of what a sad song it was. I couldn’t have been more than 8 or 9, but I can still hear the sounds and feel the atmosphere. That’s what Sir Paul did for me. Hip hip sir.
National Journal’s Reid Wilson’s tweet snarking about birther Donald Trump’s irrational fixation on President Obama’s citizenship made me smile. Broadly.
Happy birtherday, Donald. Now go somewhere far, far away and do something constructive like keeping your mouth shut.

Donald Trump is throwing Ann Romney a birthday party-slash-fundraiser that could rake in $600,000 for Willard’s campaign.
Of course, no Romney can be satisfied with just one birthday fundraiser. Guests will be asked to fork out the big bucks again at a Big Do for Ann that’s being hosted by the former Nixon/Bush/McCain employee who was arrested for barbecuing a dog.
Who needs birthday presents when 297537 of your closest friends can shell out cash?
Don’t the Romney’s have the best pals ever? Oh, did I forget to mention that very special chum who Willard says has “been fun getting to know,” Ted Nugent? That would be the very same chum who the Secret Service is investigating.
The Romneys sure know how to pick ‘em. Then again, they’ve never had the best judgment. Their poor dog Seamus was proof of that.
Have a marvelous birthday, Ann. Let them eat cake.
