It’d a crazy day here in the CatBox.  WWWendy had last minute schedule change and is coming over two hours early.  Please pardon my pit stop.  TGIF!

  1. Glad you still feel up to doing the puzzle TC!  Also, glad Wendy has someone like you willing to be flexible on her schedule with you.

  2. Cartoon: ugh!! 
    Hi WWWendy! Hope all is good on the homefront w/you, and that you get a chance to rest and relax the rest of the day. Take good, good care, Tom, and thanks!! 
    *This just in: “I’m back because I’m a perfect physical speciman and I am extremely young.” ~ Donald Trump~
    2. “Congratulations to the World Food Programme on today’s Nobel Peace Prize. The work of this vital UN agency demonstrates the necessity and the power of cooperation to meet urgent needs and lift up human lives everywhere.” ~ Pete Buttigieg ~ 
    3. “Make no mistake, Pence is a slick version of donald trump, and just as dangerous as the Liar-in-Chief.” 
    ~ Robert Reich ~ 
    4. “Americans hope and pray trump is healthy enough to stand trial.” ~ Andy Borowitz ~ 
    5. “Trump says he beat Biden in second debate. An event that has yet to happen.” ~ Peter W. ~ 
    6. “Nancy’s a ninja. She knows that the number one target of your opponent is their mind.” ~ Harri W. ~ 

    • TJI #4 – I can’t say Amen enough times to Andy.

    • TJI # 2: Is Donny going to go ranting about how misdirected the World Food Programme is, for not feeding the Proud Boys, and for taking “MY” Peace Prize?
      TJI#3: I recall being a bit impressed with Pence’s performance in the 2016 VP debate, but that was before I knew what a bigoted, delusional (I speak with God), homophobic, venomous enabler of evil this particular Christian was.
      #5: Has trump already said that ONLY he knows how to travel faster than light, and has been to that debate?
      Borowitz Rocks!

    • I Just read that Trump has been cutting the U.S.’s donations to the World Food Programme for some time already.  Should we make bets about ow long it will take the bastard to cut the rest?

    • #3:

      Pence is just the oleaginous version of Trump.

    • TJI#2 Pete’s is perhaps anticipating having to ask the World Food Programme for help for post-Trump America.

      TJI#4 Amen, Andy!

  3. That “toon has added meaning, after I just finished reading “The Warmth of Other Suns, The Epic Story of America’s Mass Migration,” by Isabel Wilkerson.
    Hi Wendy!

  4. By the time I get here (and more so than usual, with so much else to look at, which, rightly or wrongly, I went to first today) You have finished your chores and WWWendy is home. Enjoy the rest of the day!

    Cartoon – Makes me want to cry and spit at the same time.  Of course it is impossible because we have secret ballots (for good reason), but I would love to see the actual votes, as opposed to the polls, broken down by skin color … I’m thinking it might be smarter for us to allow only black people (or at least only non-white people) to vote.

  5. Wow…you’re up early. Hope you were able to sleep.
    Cartoon: Sick of those old signs. We want new ones that’s for all.
    Tell Wendy, “Hello and to have a nice weekend” for me.
    Hope you and Wendy get your chores taken care of. 
    Take care. Thanks TomCat

  6. Thank WWWendy for coming in to take care of you, even if she has to change the schedule quite often to fit it all in. Between her other job with changing rosters and taking care of you and adapting to your changing health with the many doctor and hospital visits, it must be hard on her. Bless her for being such a caring woman.

    3:25 Not the most interesting bridge, is it?

    Cartoon: I would like to see this sign at the beach of some deserted island where all GOPers are sent on a one-way ticket after the election.

  7. (STUNNED because I did that puzzle in 4:37…meaning I actually BESTED TC…who’s always been my idol in the puzzle-completion forum!)  Did it rain up there, TC?  I hope so…cool you off, wash away the ashes….

    • I’ve done it once or twice, but not very often, and not lately at all.  Lona is pretty good, though.  Note that he didn’t sleep all night and now can’t keep his eyes open … that had to have an effect.
