I’m writing for tomorrow very early in the morning, because I have more work to do, and because I want to rest as much as I can before tomorrow’s trip for volunteer work.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:06 (average 4:54). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From We Are Ultraviolet: If this isn’t bullying, I don’t know what is
It’s impossible to ignore–Chris Christie is dominating our news feeds, Facebook posts, and political conversations. But what people aren’t talking about is the fact that he’s been a bully to women for a long time.
PIGnocchio is a misogynist, in addition to being a misanthrope!! Click through, please.
From Crooks and Liars: At least they’ve taken a break from bloviating about their phony "war on Christmas" for a while. Bill O’Reilly’s favorite wingnut pastor, Robert Jeffress was back, attacking President Obama and I think someone forgot to tell him to take his meds this Monday.
This is the norm for what we can expect from O’Lielly, The Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda (Faux Noise), and the Republican Party. The Antichrist for for Republican Supply-side pseudo Christians is the REAL Jesus!
From Globe and Mail: Outspoken real estate billionaire Donald Trump said on Tuesday he may seek the Republican presidential nomination for 2016, claiming he wants to undo President Barack Obama’s legacy.
If he goes through with it, the 2016 primary season could become a real hair ball.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
3:22 ~ I just can't seem to beat that sly old TomCat anymore.
3:34 I'm having the same problem.
We Are Ultraviolet ~ People seem to have forgotten just how he views women. Male Chauvinist Pignocchios seldom change their positions.
Crooks and Liars ~ I think they both forgot their meds or else Roger Ailes slipped some of his own drugs into their coffee at the 8 AM meeting that morning.
Globe and Mail ~ He might try to unseat Andrew Cuomo as NY Governor first. He's been bragging that he has enough money in his "war chest" to take our Gov. on in the 2014 election. Either way, I see giant hair balls coming.
Cartoon ~ The "Moral Majority" will never stop fighting this law. After all, don't they know what's best for everyone?
Absolutely JAW-DROPPING paper model of a Boeing 777 jet made out of manila folders! Be sure to click through all the photos in slideshows.

Amazing photos! The time lapse of him painting had me spell-bound.
~~My old car models don't compare… 😆
4:54 Pretty colors. A very beguiling way to watch one's ego go down the tubes.
Ultraviolet – Thanks for posting. I got the email, but am not on Facebook and do not blog, and I just can't get everything worthy onto my Care billboard.
Crooks and Liars – True that, for Republican Supply side Jesus "Christians," the real Jesus would be the anti-Christ. However, Obama is not that good. Maybe Bernie Sanders.
Globe and Mail: With all that cat fud, one would have to expect hairballs.
Cartoon: When will the "Moral Majority" realize that they are neither?
Have a good and safe trip, TC. I know you'll enjoy seeing your guys.
The 'wingnut pastor' is on a par with Robertson decreeing before the last presidential election that President Obama would definitely lose as God had told him so – strange that he was wrong, wasn't it? Let's hope and pray that his colleague will be wrong too… like you and everyone else TC, I am certain neither of those two would recognise Jesus if he appeared in front of them, they certainly don't bother to read his words and obey his commands. Mind you I was surprised that he quoted from the New Testament – but it was of course from Revalations – that and the OT book of Daniel are the nutters' favourites!
Pat, I got a cartoon on Facebook last night that loosely said "Obama is not a brown skinned socialist who wants to help the poor and feed the hungry, that was Jesus" There was more, but I can't remember it all. I loved it.
3:38 – It seemed the colors were all running together.
I know that many from New Jersey like Christie, they find him the perfect guy for their state. Personally, I just do not see this man on the national stage. I don't care for his attitude, I don't like the way he talks about or toward women, I don't think he is funny. My time spent in New Jersey was, thankfully, short. Sweeping the George Washington bridge under the carpet is not going to as easy as firing a few people. If the governor of a state has no clue about what is going on in his office, than I would say he has some very poor management skills. Though I think most believe he knew exactly what was done, and gave the orders. In which case he is guilty of a few crimes, and poor judgment.
I think I will take a pass on watching Jeffress. I really don't want to get angry, and people like that always bring out the most unpleasant feelings.
I hope you are feeling better TC.
Mr Christie, you make good cookie crumbs . . . the kind to bury you in!
Why are women such a threat to Christie and others of his ilk? Did they not get enough attention from Mom?
Crooks and Liars: I couldn't listen to the whole thing. The blatant ignorance was making me ill and angry. Have to watch my blood pressure.
Globe and Mail: I hope he does run, it will certainly throw the Republicans into more disarray than they are now, since the only halfway viable candidate they had has, forgive me, thrown himself over the bridge.
Cartoon: That is their hope, and add subservient, probably will pass laws to keep us from going to school, too. I repeat, why are women such a threat to Republicans?.
I hope you got plenty of rest today so you can enjoy your trip.
Thanks everyone. I'm in Salem and am thorouhly pooped. Traveling with both a walker and a suitcase is gruelling.
I hope you get some sleep
This man makes me ill…
