Yesterday, I did some searching and saving of animal videos. As always, I ran short on cats compared to dogs. There are more dogs than cats in the US – but not in the proportions I was running short – it’s around 89 million dogs to 76 million cats. I had to dive into the Dodo’s “Cat Crazy” section to catch up. And I may have picked some which will be reruns. It’ll be a while before we get to that point, and I can stretch it out a bit farther by slipping some in which are neither dogs nor cats, but I thought I’ let y’all know we are moving toward that point. Also, Frank Figliuzzi, speaking of the Supreme Court, said: “I’m going to stop calling them the three liberal justices and start calling them the three sane justices.”

Yes, back to back Robert Reich. Both look forward to -hopefully – better days. This first article looks to what needs to be done once we manage to get a sane administration.

This second article looks to how badly our reputation with sane nations has been damaged – an how we are going to need to accept that, and not take it peraonally – because, frankly, they are correct in their assessment. Yes, it breaks my heart also.

Heather Cox Richardson – and the General Accounting Office – know precisely where the waste and fraud are in the current regime – and they are not in Medicare, Social Security, MedicAid, or any other program designed to help citizens who need help.

Yesterday, I was pretty well swamped by news. The one which stood out was the Mango Monster hiding in the catering cart, which happened what, a month ago and is just now coming out? Several were talking about that. I tried to find some less obvious news which was still important or at least noteworthy.

From Talking Points Memo. The word “overreach” doesn’t, I think, sound as scary as it can be when the overreacher is unscrupulous. And unscrupulous is what we have.

From the AP. I posted the well-wishing opportunity yesterday(ICYMI). JoJo from Jerz has her own take, which I’ll post on a slow day with a hanky alert.

Robert Reich. I’ve always thought that the Luddites had very solid points. Not that I would argue in favor of their tactics – but those tactics were the only ones available to them at the time

From Phil Williams of “Confront the Hate. So much is going on, I feel compelled to post 4 a day until (unless?) things settle down.
