4. You should have seen him last night during the rules committee...

He was, as they say, both fired up AND ready to go.

She doesn't look like it but that's what someone on Twitter said.

9. She doesn't look 80. I thought she was 60. Oh lord---Politics keeps you young. n/t

[babylonsister]

10. Hahaha.

Yea, right. I wish that were true, because I spend way too much time thinking about it!

But it's working in her case, seems to me.

11. YOU aren't on the Twitter?

I thought you were.

14. I don't even know what it is really, other than reading them here.

But hey, I don't own a cell phone and just very recently opened an FB account. This old dog learns new tricks pretty slowly. :D

16. Oh GIRL!!!

It's where I get all of my news and I know where Jeff_Dem gets a lot of his, Pirate Smile too.

The journalists and bloggers usually Tweet about the news they're writing about AS they're writing about it so you can hear it there first.

If you want, some day OTHER than a monumental day in American history, yell and I'll help you set it up. :)

That's exactly what it is.

get sucked in today. I'm loving it!

[Clio the Leo]

12. Yeah ..... just like my co-workers told me to go home and get some rest...

..... after I left home sick from work.

I just laughed to myself, "if you only knew."

[firedupdem]
