It’s still a tired day here in the CatBox, even though I feel much better after some much needed rest. I had an egg burrito for breakfast with apple juice and yogurt. Today is also a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. I’ll be on light-meditation, as my Broncos have a bye week. Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update. It’s a morning WWWendy Day, complete with TomCat de-stinking and semi-gooping. Have a fine Sunday.

From Alternet: On Friday night, Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham debated his Democratic challenger Jamie Harrison virtually because Graham refused to submit to a COVID-19 test.
As a result, both Graham and Harrison were separately asked debate questions. And on a question about whether he’d met with leaders of the Black Lives Matter Movement, Graham said in part, “I care about everybody. If you’re a young African-American, an immigrant, you can go anywhere in this state, you just need to be conservative, not liberal.”
The context of Graham’s horrid sound bite was that anyone can have a safe and secure political career in the state regardless of skin color as long as they’re conservative. “You can be an African-American and go to the Senate, you just have to share the values of our state,” he said earlier in his response, but his aforementioned closing line seemed to make the Black female moderator stammer as she moved onto the next question.
Like his Fuhrer, Lindsey Poo just loves those darkies, as long as they hold their porch lamps and call him, “Massa!” RESIST!!

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!

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. Last Night I caught most of the slaughter. Today is a grocery delivery day, and I have to put them away. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update, because it’s a morning WWWendy day. Today, here is a special treat from Mitch (ours, not Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow).
My wife and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and said, “Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?”
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an “asshole.” He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires. So, Shirley, my wife, called him a “shithead.” He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. He finally finished, sneered at us and walked away.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.
We always look for cars with Trump 2020 stickers. We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired. It’s so important at our age.
The one change I’d make is to pee in the gas tank before leaving!

Debate Summary:
What Pence said over and over: “You have a right to your own opinion, but not to your own facts! [Insert Lie Here]”
What Pence did over and over: Interrupt and hog the mic.
What the moderator should have said: “Pence, you asshole, Shut the F*CK UP!“
What Harris did: WIN!
Short Takes:
From NY Times: President Trump claimed on Wednesday that catching the coronavirus was “a blessing from God” and portrayed as a miracle cure the unproven therapeutic drug he was given after testing positive last week for the virus.
It could not have been a blessing from God. If it had, She would have made it a terminal illness. RESIST!!
From CNN: President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not participate in the second presidential debate with Joe Biden after the Commission on Presidential Debates said the event will be held virtually in the wake of the President’s positive coronavirus diagnosis.
“I am not going to do a virtual debate,” Trump said on Fox Business. “I am not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.”
Biden’s campaign on Thursday swiftly agreed to the virtual format. But Trump’s comment throws the debate into question after the commission took the significant step to wholly remake the event. The move was seen as needed by members of the debate commission given the uncertainty around the President’s health.
Politically, if Trump skips the debate, he’ll be deprived of a platform that he needs at a time when his campaign is trailing in every national poll and in a number of key swing states. The first event was watched by more than 73 million people.
Why would Trump* do this? At a virtual debate, the moderator could unplug Trump’s* mic, when he bullies/interrupts the way he and Mr. Karen did during the first two debates. RESIST!!

It’s a very tired day, here in the CatBox. WWWendy and I got home safely last night, after my infusion. We are scheduling another infusion, which we may cancel. In around three weeks I’ll have a CAT-Scan or a PET-Scan to judge whether the immunotherapy is working and go from there. I did research early this morning and took a long nap. I’m ready to go back to bed. Tomorrow is a grocery delivery day. This evening I plan to try to stay up to watch the slaughter. You guys had better do so too, in case I don’t make it. Happy Hump Day!

From The New Yorker: Mike Pence said that he was “extremely grateful” that the organizers of Wednesday night’s Vice-Presidential debate would be providing a plexiglass shield to protect him from a woman.
Speaking to reporters, Pence said that the Commission on Presidential Debates had taken “appropriate measures” to shield him from exposure to a female during the Salt Lake City face-off.
“I’ve read all the relevant literature, and from what I’ve learned a plexiglass shield provides adequate protection from a woman,” he said. “Knowing that this barrier exists between me and a member of the opposite sex, I feel comfortable about moving forward with the debate.”
Dang, Andy! Nothing can protect that lying Nazi pseudo-Christian! Kamala is going to tear Mr. Karen a new sphincter! RESIST!!

I go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon for my next infusion. I’ll take the TriMet Lift Bus to the Hospital. WWWendy will get me home between 6:00 and 6:30, after which we have a full WWWendy day to do. Therefore it’s likely that I’ll be too tired on Wednesday to do much then either. Oh God, it’s Monday!

From Alternet: The case for Medicare for All was once again made by the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, Sen. Ed Markey tweeted on Sunday, after Republican politicians were able to check themselves into hospitals shortly after announcing they had tested positive for Covid-19.
Markey noted that throughout the coronavirus pandemic, in which more than 7.4 million cases have been detected and more than 209,000 people in the U.S. have died, people have attempted to get care at hospitals after testing positive and showing worsening symptoms, only to be turned away and “told only to come back when they could not breathe.”
“Now politicians are checking into hospitals as a ‘precaution.’ Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege,” Markey wrote. “We need Medicare for All.”
The senator’s statement came a day after former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a member of the president’s debate prep team this past week, announced he was checking himself into Morristown Medical Center after testing positive on Saturday.
“While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure,” Christie tweeted.
This is so typical of RepubliCare, the Republican replacement for ObamaCare. Rich Republicans get care. The rest of us get the RepubliCare Death Benefit. We get to die. RESIST!!
