I’m very tired here in the CatBox.  I woke up shortly after midnight, and I tossed an turned the rest of the night.   I think I’m going to have to use some tunes again, while thinking of new ones.  The good thing about good music is listening to it more than once.   It’s a WWWendy night.  Pardon my brevity hugs!!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:38 (average 4:52).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Cartoon:

Short Takes:

From YouTube (Full Frontal Channel): After #MeToo Pt 1: Sam Bee and Tarana Burke Talk Past, Present, & Future of #MeToo

 

While in exceptionally rare cases, people in the #MeToo movement go too far, I fully agree with and support the organization.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Why It Matters Trump Knew About Whistleblower Before Releasing Ukraine Aid

 

What we have here is a bank robber, who kills a guard, blows up the vault, and removes money. Then, he sees the police at the door, so he shoves the money back in the vault and says he committed no offense.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past rerun):

 

Ah… the memories!  RESIST!!

Vote Blue!!

  1. 4:48 Geronimo!


    Nothing here that anyone here doesn’t know. But a timely reminder … and maybe timely to bring out again closer to next November.

    The Reich on the Left, is of course, right. The Reich on the right needs to get left … behind.

    Cartoon – What they would probably love most is that the “Twinkie defense” worked. And White wasn’t even a cop. Just – White. A travesty. Decent eople grieved then, and decent people who remember grieve now.

    Sam – So important. But I’ll have more to say on this later.

    MSNBC – Prosecutors call this evidence of “consciousness of guilt.” Raw Story has (so AlterNet probably has also and it may be almost anywhere) regarding a Breitbart dude who thought he was qualified to mansplain a former prosecutor that she was wrong about it. She wasn’t.

    Past – Are you looking for nominations? https:// youtu.be/ YBcdt6DsLQA

  2. Cartoon: Horrible day, sad. 
    FFC: Great video, and good discussion(s). 
    MSNBC: Gawd. He can’t (dt) even work a day w/o doing something harmful/devious/lying to the people or to his staff or to the citizens?  I can’t listen. to him. at all. 
    BFTP: Awesome song.
    *How about Iron Butterfly, Jethro Tull, CCR, RS’s, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Queen, Jefferson Airplane? And that’s not even listing some Motown sounds from the NE. (TSOP) lol 
    Hi, Wendy! Hope that you have a good rest of your day, and a good Thanksgiving. We’ll be heading out with food packed, and away we go, for family festivities. To all, who grace your page, Happy Thanksgiving !! 
    *This just in: “Caliburn International, a corporation with billions of dollars in government contracts, that holds migrant children, in cages, has scrapped plans to host a holiday party at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia. It’s all about optics, not compassion. ~Linda S.~
    2. “Pro-democracy camp wins 17 out of 18 districts #HongKong. “Did you hear the people sing? ~David Nune’s Alt-Mom~ 
    3. “In other disgusting news, Kushner, who couldn’t run a church bake sale, is now in charge of dt’s border wall. I wonder how the people in Texas who voted for the traitor now feel about him seizing their land through eminent domain?” ~ Mary H. ~ 

    *Joanne: Thank you for your videos also. Informative and worth watching! 

     

  3. A sad anniversary for not just the LGBTQ community, but for us all.

  4. I hope not stealing anyone’s thunder, but if you’ve been tasked with bringing the pumpkin pie tomorrow and promised NOT to discuss politics – yet want to convey a not-so subtle message …

    • Awesome picture, Nameless. Not subtle at all.. 31
      I’m bringing mincemeat pie tomorrow. 
      I think that there’s only one other person out of 4 families that enjoys it like me. lol 

      • I absolutely LOVE mincemeat pie!

        Mom made home-made mincemeat.  I remember her attaching the hand-crank grinder to the countertop and grinding away.

        I’m not sure if I have her recipe or not, but your mentioning it is going to prompt me to look.

        Do you make your own mincemeat?  Or can you now buy it in the grocery store?  If so, probably a hunt to find it.  I remember the first time I made Swedish Rye Bread and asked the kid where I can find the lard – he had NO idea what lard was and looked at me like I was an alien.

        The whippersnappers nowadays …

        • Nameless, my grandmother used to make the homemade version of mincemeat when we were children, Ma never made it, and I just go to the store now, to buy a jar. Or two.  I find the mixture absolutely delicious. 

          It reminds me of simple days gone by, and my childhood memories with the pie(s) in the oven wafting across the house and sometimes outside, if the doors were opened for a minute, coming in from playing in the snow. 

          I get nostalgic, as I grow older, with the upcoming Holidays, and can see why Norman Rockwell painted his pictures with such flair, and the wonderful memories that one holds deep in their heart(s). 

          Oh…! got going on a different road there….I love mincemeat!! and pie!! 
          Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

      • When I lived in Colorado, I used to make mincemeat with venison.  Damn, that was good! 25

  5. 3:35 Nice view.

    Cartoon: Something I was never aware of.

    FF: After two years, the #MeToo movement is still only starting and it’ll be a long time before it has made itself redundant.

    MSNBC: No matter how many ways Democrats prove to Republicans that Trump is as guilty as hell of impeachable offences, Republicans will deny it and think of another utterly ridiculous reason why he isn’t.

    BFTP: I don’t mind hearing some repeats at all, TomCat. Especially not when they’re as good as this one.

  6. Cartoon: Sad indeed. 
    FFC: Good video. So important.
    MSNBC: Really a shame to think that the repugs are going to act so blind, deaf and dumb when it comes to tRump’s evilness. Hope that each one of them will be punished too. tRump and his buddies must GO straight to prison.
    BFTP: Like the song. Great group.
    Hope you had a great day. Got some rest after your bad night.
    Take care. Thanks TomCat

  7. Thanks and Thankful Hugs to all! 25
