Please pardon my brevity as I’m very hungry and very tired. This is today’s only article, and I won’t be sending out links messages on Care2.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 6:09 (average 8:37). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Full Frontal Channel): Full Frontal Presidential Interviews
Sam was nowhere near as funny as usual, but still very wise.
From YouTube (Media Matters Channel): Strict Voter ID Laws Are The New Jim Crow
Take away Racist Republican Jim Crow laws!
From The New Yorker: Dropping a bombshell less than a week before the Presidential election, the F.B.I. Director James Comey revealed on Wednesday that the Bureau was investigating Hillary Clinton’s ties to Bill Clinton.
The announcement, which Comey made in a letter to members of Congress, provoked immediate howls of protest from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta.
Dang Andy!! Comey ought to be shot, hung, drawn and quartered for starting such a vile rumor!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
6:27 TC, I can't think of any of your words that you should eat.
YouTube/FF – Not much left to say about this. VOTE BLUE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE TICKET (unless you already have.)
YouTube/MM – Oh, yeah – Did you see what the Secretary of State of Alabama said? http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/11/3/1590620/-Alabama-election-official-If-we-let-sorry-or-lazy-people-vote-it-cheapens-civil-rights-legacy
TNY – LMAO!
Cartoon – Too true to be funny, sadly.
Re: Alabama election official: I am not surprised.
YT: Awesome!!!!
TY: Good vid. Passing this on.
NYer: LOL, Andy.
Cartoon: Yep. That about sums it up.
Get some much needed rest, and take good care. Thanks, Tom.
1 . President Obama and Samantha Bee, great as always/expected
2 We should be requiring everyone to vote, rather than working to limit voting…..I think voting should be "required" and if you do perhaps you should get a reward such as a tax deduction……if you don't you miss out on that deduction
Good one dave, on #2!
I agree, fully, about Comey! He needs that elephant stuck up his you-know-where!
Have a better day, dude!
Samantha did a great job, we will mis Mr. Obama's humor.
Voter ID laws are ploys to stop people from voting.
The New Yorker: Andy may be onto something. They have been attacking Bill as though he were running for the job. I hope Comey is fired.
Cartoon: Absolutely, and how wonderful to know they are endorsing Trump. More proof we don't need him.
Puzzle — 4:59 It seems to be out of print!
Youtube — That man has a most wonderful smile that is infectious. Sam did a wonderful job turning that segment of her show into a PSA for voting.
Youtube too — In a representative democracy like the US, every citizen has a responsibility to vote and a right to vote. The state should not have the right to abridge that, yet many red states have just abridged that right through nefarious means as far as I am concerned.
The New Yorker — Funny! Andy is such a card.
Cartoon — That's a short list but a big list! It is so sad that so many people vote against their own interests.
Tired and hungry? My prescription — a hot bowl of barley/lentil veggie soup, a cup of hot spiced apple juice, and a comfy bed and pillow! Take care!
PS — Canada is watching the election and over 60% of Canadians are afraid of Drumpf. Apparently, about 30% have said Canada should break diplomatic relations with the US if Drumpf is elected.
DON'T BE COMPLACENT!
GET OUT THE VOTE!!
VOTE BLUE ALL DOWN THE TICKET!!!
By the time you read this, your ordeal will be over and you must have had a hearty meal to get your sugar levels back to normal, stop that hunger and hopefully gotten a bit of energy returned to you, TomCat.
YouTube(FFC): Well, Sam Bee had to stay true to herself, so we couldn't expect a real depth interview from her. Obama played along well (he really has got a great sense of humor) and Sam did a very good impression of a millennial. The end was really scary though: Drumpf as President, Corey Lewandowski as Supreme Court justice and Louie Gohmert as Speaker of the House. God help you all.
YouTube(MMC): Jim Crow laws are at work in 34 states and in addition to box of goodies from the 50s Drumpf and the GOP have opened up, such as voter intimidation and violence there's a real chance these laws will become federal after November 8. Remember: Drumpf, Lewandowski and Gohmert…nuff said.
TNY: LOL Spot on, Andy!
Cartoon: And the feeling is mutual and very much out in the open.
Thanks all! Totally pooped hugs!!
The Prez and Samantha are great together!
N Yorker:Those who flaunt the Hatch Act, of 1939, deserve to get the hatchet!
MM: GO VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED UPON IT…FOR ALL WE KNOW, IT DOES!
