Wendy just left. We perfumed the TomCat, did the dreaded task, cooked and cleaned. Today is a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My Broncos meditate at Atlanta, and the game will be televised here, so I'm rushing. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update. I have a long appointment with an eye specialist to see what can be done for my double vision. I will be gone most of the day.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today's took me 3:43 (average 5:04). To do it, click here. How did you do.
Short Takes:
From KP Daily Funnies: SNL- A Day Off for Trump's Campaign Manager
Cute, but I thought another clip was more relevant.
From YouTube: VP Debate Cold Open – SNL
That sounded just like trump.
From The New Yorker: In what is being described as a best-case scenario, some political experts are predicting that the Republicans could once again be a viable political party as early as the year 2096.
Davis Logsdon, the head of the University of Minnesota’s political-science department, said on Saturday that the eighty-year time frame for the Republican Party to recover was “admittedly optimistic, but still doable.”
“It’s not going to be easy, and they have very little margin for error,” Logsdon said. “But if they do everything right and a lot of things cut their way, they could be up and running as a somewhat serviceable political party as early as 2096.”
According to the political strategist Tracy Klugian, however, Logsdon’s 2096 target date for the Republicans’ comeback is “laughably upbeat.”
“In order for the G.O.P. to become even a marginally functional political party again, all memory of the 2016 campaign will have to be obliterated,” Klugian said. “That means everyone who witnessed it will have to be dead, and probably those people’s children, and their children’s children, too. I wouldn’t bet on the Republican Party recovering any earlier than the year 2132.”
Andy, That's horrible!! 2132 is MUCH TOO SOON!!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
4:26 (5:04) Cute little thing.
KPDF – No days off for the wicked!
YouTube – The one thing Alec can't do is make his lips small and anus-like. Otherwise, the resemblance is astonishing.
New Yorker – From Andy's mouth to God's ear!
Cartoon – Oh, yes.
KPDF: Very busy day.
SNL: Alec plays a good impression of DT. Amazing!
NYer: Uhh…Andy, how about never?
Cartoon: ugh! Sad. They'd love that!
Best to you for your eye appointment tomorrow. Have a safe trip to, and hope all goes well. My guys lost. Hope yours answer your prayers though. Enjoy your evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.
GOOD one, ANDY! That would be a century or two too soon for my taste, tho!!!
Hate to break it to ya dude, Religious Ecstasy ain't comin your way this week. Not mine! I'm up to lose all my games on FF! Ah, well! There's always next week!
Take care, TC!
Puzzle — 3:14 What a little cutie! Better still, saved from the jaws of a rapacious Puddy Tat!
KPDF and Youtube — SNL is not available in Canada so no further comment.
The New Yorker — Ahhhhh! The sweet smell of success! From Andy's pen to God's ear!
Cartoon — I am leaning into the mic as Bilkl Maher said to do WRONG!!!
I'll bet you feel all refreshed now and ready for some football. I hear the B's did not do so well today against Atlanta. Are you drowning your sorrows in coffee?
SNL does such a great job pillorying those who deserve it!
The New Yorker: Unless the Republican party does a great job of reversing its policy, it may take longer.
Cartoon: They so wish that were still the case.
Good luck tomorrow!
I gather you preferred the game over the debate, TomCat? I would have done the same if I had just been perfumigated by Wendy and didn't want to feel soiled again on top of missing out on a good game. I hope your travels to and from the eye specialist are speedy and the appointment a success.
KPDF: You know, I'm starting to feel rather sorry for them. No, not for Drumpf or Kellyanne Conway, silly. For those TV hosts who are made to invite Kellyanne on their show every five minutes when Drumpf has gone overboard again and who have to listen and respond to the absolute BS she comes up with. At least we can switch off any time we like, if we would watch them at all that is.
YouTube: So funny, Alec must have the time of his life doing his Drumpf thing. Drumpf and his crew are a gift to comedians, the world round. Another month of it for them, because Drumpf won't quit.
TNY: I hope you are as good a crystal ball gazer as you are a satirist, Andy. Although many of us here would prefer to never having the G.O.P. Titanic raised again.
Cartoon: That's a voting booth, I would think?
It is!
Thanks all! Hugs!!
KPDF: SNL was excellent, twice.
New Yorker: You know what, 2132? I'll take it!
Cartoon: Just another part of the GOP legacy!
