It was always rumored that Loretta was having an affair with Conway. They performed together for years, and appeared to have a lot of "chemistry." But she always denied it, and there was never any evidence. She always loved Doo.

I heard you always loved doo-doo..

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A new report on child welfare that found more U.S. children living in poverty than before the Great Recession belies the fanfare of the nation's economic turnaround.

Twenty-two percent of American children were living in poverty in 2013 compared with 18 percent in 2008, according to the latest Kids Count Data Book, with poverty rates nearly double among African-Americans and American Indians and problems most severe in South and Southwest.

I wonder what people living in poverty during the Depression would think about what we consider poverty today...

You left out this part of the story:

"Tax credits and additional support such as food stamps could give low-income families a much-needed boost, and job training could provide help for struggling to get an economic foothold. Businesses should implement more family-friendly policies, and a massive infrastructure repair campaign could create countless jobs."

"Hello Darlin'...."

[Johnette's Daddy]

"Hello Darlin'...."

Not much of a country fan, but I loved this song and Conway, mostly because "Conway Twitty" sounded like the name of a country singer . . . or a race car driver . . . or an Oklahoma oil baron.

His real name was Harold Jenkins, hence the urgent necessity of a stage name.

Yes, Hal Jenkins owns a filling station or a feed store. Conway Twitty carries a star, wears a pearl handled Colt .45 and breaks up bar fights.

Watch it with those feed store remarks...

Maybe a little buyer's remorse...

Kerry is still congratulating himself that he barely managed to talk the Iranians out of their last-minute demand that he convert to Islam as part of the deal.

Problems most severe in the South and Southwest? You mean the Republican-controlled states?

On another note, is The Donald working for Hillary on the sly?

[sardis]

Better yet, have you ever seen the two of them together at the same time?

The resemblance is uncanny.

Welp, I am sure you hope that's the case. By the by, regarding your Governor officially entering the race at your alma matter, if a tree falls in the forest and no one was there to hear it happen (because they were too busy listening to Trump give out a Senator's private cell phone number instead...)

The whiz-bang economy of Obammer has unemployment at an ALL-TIME low, recession ended 5.5 years ago, QE has mine and your 401Ks skyrocketing....why would poverty rate increase anywhere?
