Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
5:51 Some days you’re the cactus, some days you’re the snail.
Cartoon – It’s impossible to know how different things might be today if that hadn’t happened. One can speculate about differences between the Shrub Presidency and a hypothetical Gore Presidency, but even if those speculations are pretty likely, there were three Presidential elections afterward, and there are a lot of wild cards there. The only thing we can be absolutely certain of is that SCOTUS would not have gone so far to the right as it in fact has.
MSNBC – Time got it right this time. I haven’t always agreed with their choices, but this time – spot on.
CNN – Well, yes. And, frankly, you can blame his whole base for that, not just Kentucky. If #MoscosMitch thought Traitor Tot’s actions would cost them the Senate, he’d dump him in a New York minute.
Past – I remember the group but not the cover.
Cartoon: Sad.
MSNBC: Reminds me of the limbo dance. How low can HE go??
CNN: What Joanne said.
BFTP: Good one for today…!
Try and get your rest, and take it easy. Hope that you have a good day/evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.

2. Time Magazine has named Greta Thunberg as it’s ‘Person of the Year.’ She’s an autistic teenager, who annoys dt. How awesome.” ~ Patty M. ~

4. “Rep Ted Lieu recovering from heart surgery for blocked artery.” Get well, Sir. pb
5. “The House is teeing up for an impeachment vote just in time to impeach, adjourn for the Holidays, and leave dt stewing for weeks with no one in DC to defend him. ~ H.W. ~
“Toon: Scalia is one of the persons who made me hope that there really is such a thing as Karma.
MSNBC: Wonderful!
CNN: McConnell has already been cited as the most dangerous threat to Democracy in the country, and all I can say is “Amen!”
Music: They rock!
Cartoon: Shameful to think it was happening 20 years ago.
MSNBC: What a flipping bas*ard. How dare tRump speak of Greta like that. I agree with you that they should award him as*hole of the year.
CNN: mItch the bi*tch can go to hel* for even suggesting that. What does tRump have on these flipping R’s that they are standing up for him, like they are??? Despicable fools.
BFTP: The Animals were a good group. Like the song.
Glad you are feeling better today.
I too am doing better. I got some sleep and took my BP again and it was much lower, Thanks God.
Must of been something to do with it being the last full moon of 2019?
Take care. Thanks TomCat
4:12 Looks like we don’t have to worry, on inspection, it’s just a snail’s shell on that cactus.
Cartoon: And repeated the process when Scalia died.
MSNBC: First o-so-Christian Pence lies, badly, that Democrats used Trump’s teenage son to impeach Trump and then Trump attacks teenage Greta because he’s pi$$ed off Time didn’t put him on the front page as Person of the Year, again. It was all so predictable, why do we keep paying so much attention to it? If Trump had congratulated Greta and had praised her efforts, that would have interested me because it is so out of character.
CNN: Dean’s idea of shelving the impeachment until after the elections is becoming more attractive by the day.
BFTP: I know it, but not well. Good to hear it again.
The bloody British have gone bonkers and helped Boris and the Tories to a majority. Well, at least that’s what the exit polls predict, but unlike the polls, they haven’t been wrong yet. It’s all so terribly depressing, I went looking for some music that always cheers me up. I won’t bore you with classical baroque so here’s Van Morrison with Bright Side of the Road:
Thanks and tired TGIF Hugs to all!
