It’s a relatively cool day, here at the CatBox, but the sun is on the wall, so I’ll have to break soon to button-up and turn on the A/C. This morning I was busy doing my normal research, preparing football reports, and finalizing my shopping list, so tomorrow I’ll prepare the graphics and collect the data for September’s Monthly Report. Then I’ll post it on Thursday.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:07 (average 4:24). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Religious Agony:
My guys played a superior game against a superior team, and they should have won. In KC’s game winning drive, they were 3rd and 7 on the 46, when the play clock expired a full second before the snap. Denver’s defense relaxed, expecting the delay of game call, and Mahomes passed to Harris moving the ball to the eleven. The official, who was supposed to be watching admitted that he muffed the call, but there’s no replay for a missed penalty. That mistake probably cost Denver the game. That damn stinking Orb really F’d up!
Fantasy Football Report:

Congrats to Wendy, Patty Monster and me for winning.

Short Takes:
From Huffington Post: Harvard Law School dean John F. Manning informed students last week that, although he couldn’t say whether Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh would still be teaching his January class, called The Supreme Court Since 2005, the school was still taking its students’ concerns seriously. But now the school has told students that Kavanaugh’s course, which he’s been teaching since 2009, would not be offered in 2019.
He’s too dishonest to teach at Harvard, but he’s good enough for Republicans. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From Daily Kos: In the Rose Garden outside the White House, Donald Trump announced a renewed North American Free Trade Agreement, which he is trying to rebrand with the new name: U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Toooooooootally different, see?
He turned to questions from the gathered White House reporters and Donald Trump being Donald Trump, he just couldn’t help but insult Cecilia Vega of ABC News, who was trying to ask a question. And of course his gathered bros, including Jared Kushner and Steve Mnuchin, laughed it up. WATCH:
Barf Bag Alert!!
Talk about misogyny! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From The New Yorker: As the F.B.I. hurries to complete its supplemental background check of the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, twenty million witnesses have come forward claiming that they saw Kavanaugh lie under oath.
According to the witnesses, they can remember the place where they saw Kavanaugh lie, a hearing room in the United States Senate, and the exact date and time, this past Thursday afternoon.
Despite the striking similarity of their stories, the twenty million witnesses to Kavanaugh’s mendacity said that they were having trouble getting in touch with the F.B.I., even though lying to the Senate is a federal crime and thus within the Bureau’s jurisdiction.
“I called my local F.B.I. office and was told to call the Bureau’s toll-free tip line,” Harland Dorrinson, a resident of Toledo, Ohio, said. “I did that, but the mailbox for Kavanaugh tips was full.”
Dang, Andy! You underestimated the total big time! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
