I slept poorly last night.  In what continues to be the weirdest winter I can remember, the temperature at midnight was 57\u00b0, prompting the homeless in the neighborhood to throw a party on the street below.  The noise level did not abate until it was almost time to get up, and although I did sleep, I was awakened frequently.  I discovered that our new analytics package was set by default that only Administrators could see the dashboard  I fixed it to include Editors.  Tweak away, Lona.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today’s took me 3:39 (average 5:43).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?  A kitty has to be damn careful around that place.  I could get peed on by a dawg<\/em>!! \"Surprised<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>Infuriated after Senator Elizabeth Warren read a scathing letter from 1986 about Jeff Sessions by Coretta Scott King, Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday to secure an endorsement for Sessions from Frederick Douglass.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Frederick Douglass will write a great letter, much better than that bad letter Coretta Scott King wrote,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI said really nice things about Frederick Douglass last week, so I\u2019m sure he will do this for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visibly angered by the King letter, Trump contrasted the \u201cgreat job Douglass has done\u201d with the \u201cterrible, very bad job that Coretta Scott King has done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know who this Coretta King person is, but she should stay away from writing letters because she has zero talent for it,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

At the daily White House press briefing, Trump\u2019s press secretary, Sean Spicer, said that, while Trump is confident that Sessions will be confirmed as Attorney General, \u201ca strong endorsement from Frederick Douglass will clearly seal the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andy, If Douglas endorsed Beauregard, color me scared stiff and gone! RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n
