I’m slightly better, but still feeling ill, so I shall be brief. I was tied up this morning scheduling future medical mayhem. I had to change to Firefox for Care2, because Care2 locks up Chrome every time a requester pops up.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:19 (average 5:11). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Late Show Channel): Don’t Let ‘Button Dysfunction’ Destroy Your World
We need a Russian hooker to distract Dickless Donnie from his Armageddon complex. RESIST!!
From YouTube: What to expect from the ‘bomb cyclone’ traveling up the East Coast
If you are in its path, bundle up, and please keep yourself safe. Survive first. Then RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was caught crouching under Donald J. Trump’s Oval Office desk on Wednesday, in an attempt to disconnect Trump’s newly installed nuclear button.
The button, reportedly measuring a massive eight inches in diameter, has been a subject of considerable alarm for Trump’s national-security team since he had it installed on his desk, earlier in the week.
According to White House sources, Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, and the national-security adviser H. R. McMaster drew straws late Tuesday night to determine who would carry out the high-stakes disconnection mission.
After Tillerson drew the shortest straw, he decided to enter the Oval Office surreptitously [sic]Wednesday morning while Trump took a bathroom break.
Dang, Andy! I don’t think he disconnected it before Pseudo-pious Pence busted him. ARGH!! RESIST!!

4:46 Jerusalem sage, hmm? Don’t show it to a Fox Evangelical!
New cartoon (copyrighted, therefore linked)
YT/LS – Button, button, who’s got the button. Brilliant parody.
Weather – This is going to make Hurricane Sandy look like a drizzle (pace Diddy). But of course there’s no such thing as Climate Change. /S
TNY – During a bathroom break was actually a good idea. He starts tweeting and loses track of time in the bathroom. You’re probably right that it was Pencildick who caught him.
Cartoon – My cash, not that I use cash very much, actually says this – because I stamp it on. This is perfectly legal, and endorsed by Ben and Jerry.
Amen to cartoon and stamp.
LSC: The “Viagrageddon” ad made me LOL!
YT: I’m staying inside with my computer, my books and my cats, as well as hot cocoa. Dripping one sink to avoid burst pipes.
TNY: The Tangerine Troglodyte comes across as a snotty five-year-old in an adult’s body. On top of that, he’s clearly a few ramps shy of a cloverleaf.
Cartoon: I’ve already seen a few bills that have “This is not speech” stamped on them.
My stamp actually says “Not to be used for bribing politicians” and has the PFAW logo in the fine print. There are several messages one can select from, and several stamp models including some that are highly portable for those who can stamp on the go. Also examples of what not to cover.
LS: Mr. Dumpty does not play well with others, the vid made me lol. 🙂
YT: Got kin in Jersey & Philly, most flights cancelled now, and freezing, frigid conditions. Mitchell could tell more, as he lives in Jersey too.
NYer: Well….somebody has to do it, for heaven’s sake!! lol
Cartoon: Cool !!!
Scheduling medical appointments is mind draining, imho. Hope that you start feeling better, take good care, and enjoy your evening. Thanks, Tom.
Colbert: Truly a classic!
NYorker: So, does Rex have a bigger one than tDump?
‘Toon: Charles Koch thinks it is.
Stephen Colbert: I think that was the first thing that came to all sane minds: here are two little boys bragging about their penis size. Pathetic.
YouTube: It’s terribly hard to imagine what Americans are going through when you yourself are trying to get trough one tropical thunderstorm after the other. Nothing major though, hailstorms do a some damage now and again and it isn’t nice for people to have their roof blown off, but it’s warm enough en when the power stays on there are no problems. Take care, America, resist (that’ll keep you warm), survive this winter and things will get better.
TNY: I bet Drumpf had positioned his guard dog Pence under the table as soon as his oversized button was finished.
Take it slow, TomCat. Rest all you can.
Puzzle — 3:56 Jerusalem sage, eh JD! Sounds like something that Sessions would legalise for smoking!
The Late Show — That nuclear plume looks like it is coming straight from someone’s ass . . . and NOT the young lady’s!!! ‘Viagrageddon’ . . . ROTFLMAO!
YouTube — That is yet another deadly storm . . . and of course it has nothing to do with climate change! NOT!!! Climate change deniers are such intractable fools!!! I wonder if we could order delivery to Washington once Republicans are back in town. I don’t wish it for The People, but Republicans need it big time!
The New Yorker — I guess ‘Dickless Donnie’ had space to use under the desk so he got the biggest button available. It is a shame that the Resolute Desk is being used by Drumpf . . . such an historical desk being used by a despot! A bloody shame!!!
Cartoon — AMEN!!!
I think your bug drifted north because I have it and it is no fun. It knocked me out yesterday . . . I slept straight through until 4 pm. So much for accomplishing anything! Hope you continue to feel better day by day!
Sorry you have it too. Get better!
Thanks all. Sickly hugs.
Hang in there, TC!
