It’s a dead day for news, and I appear to be coming down with head/upper respiratory infection, so this is my only article today. I hope I feel better tomorrow.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:50 (average 5:38). To do it, click here. How do you do?
Religious Agony:
They were playing against the Chiefs’ reserves. That describes the season quite well. ARGH!
Fantasy Football Report:
Here’s the latest from our own Fantasy Football league, Lefty Blog Friends.
Playoffs:
Champs:
Congrats to Patty Monster (aka Patricia M Lasek)! We will be looking for two more players next season to replace the folks that dropped out. Leave me a message here or on Care2 if you’d like to play.
Short Take:
From Time: President Donald Trump slammed Pakistan for ‘lies & deceit’ in a New Year’s Day tweet that said Islamabad had played U.S. leaders for ‘fools.’
‘No more,’ Trump tweeted.
Trump in his tweet said the U.S. had given Pakistan $33 billion in the last 15 years, yet Afghanistan and the U.S. have long accused Pakistan of providing safe havens for militants.
It’s hard to disagree with Trump for saying something about Pakistan many times myself, but this is what the Republicans’ idiot Fuhrer just does not get. As duplicitous as they are, Pakistan is the only reasonable logistical route for our troops in Afghanistan. If Pakistan closes that route, supplying our troops by air is terribly costly and insecure, and if we withdraw them, as we should have years ago, we would have to leave all their heavy weapons and equipment for Al Qaeda and the Taliban. RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
3:41 Pure color. (I got lucky. But nothing to eat.)
I hope you find people for FF for next year. This is apparently indeed the time to start looking … and keep looking.
Too new and copyrighted to post, but I can at least provide a link.
Well, Kim Jong Un did make the news by talking about a button on his desk which would launch a nuclear missile. (“In April, it was reported that President Donald Trump also has a button on his desk. His, however, is for a butler to bring him a Diet Coke.”) It made me think of this …
And of course you are correct on Pakistan. But it’s not just Trump. No Republican has thought anything through since Eisenhower.
Cartoon – Yup.
I love Roy Zimmermann’s parodies. His song texts are always spot on.
Ditto Pat!
Wishing all of you well and in continued good health, spirits for the Year 2018.
And to the extinction of the GOP/Republican Party. And to the impeachment of Drumpf or his forced resignation.
This is the year 2018 that we take back our country with the upcoming mid-term elections to secure Congress for the Democratic Party and the people. Let’s not forget all of our state and local elections as well to get every single republican out of office. Let’s get “mad as hell” and do it!
Hugzzz…

I agree with your comment, TC, if the route gets closed, we’ll be paying more, and at a high cost. ugh!
Congratulations to all the FF participants!
Cartoon: Well, my guys lost, bummer. My chili went over well, last night, and my guests left to go to another party afterwards. btw….It’s pretty cold here today, 32.
Gee, I sure hope that you get to feeling better. Get some rest, stay warm, drink plenty of fluids, and rest. Take good care, and take good care. Thanks, Tom.
Hey, man, you’ve got to stop this recurring ailment pattern! Wishing you MUCH HEALTH IN THE NEW YEAR!
Who would’a thought that West Side Story could bring international news so frightening?
Of course, at this point in time, all those Puerto Ricans who can, really DO want to “be here,” thanks to tDump’s racism! Since they are already U.s. citizens, despite his spin on facts, he may have wound up encouraging a new influx of “them” into the mainland.
I hope your cold doesn’t get any worse. TomCat. That’s not a good way to start the new year. We need you healthy and fit for the upcoming and hopefully last great battle to get rid of the Drumpf regime. So make good use of the lull in news this time of year and rest. And make 2018 a very healthy year too.
Time: Someone in the White House looked through the many lists of Drumpf “accomplishments” and told him he’d forgotten to insult Pakistan. And you know how that is in that part of the world. It’s about the worst insult to live through if everyone else around you is insulted but you. So now we can all sleep well at night again, they’re all pissed-off equally in the ME now, except for Israel of course
Cartoon: Copy that cat for a few days, TomCat. You’ll feel so much better, but make it a ginger beer for best results.
Sorry to hear you’re ailing, Tom. Hope you get over that infection quickly – and may the new year bring you better health.
Well, at least your Teabag Trashers did better than the horsies. However, a less-than-stellar season finish does give a team better draft picks. At least the Broncos aren’t in the same company as the Browns and the Lions. Better days are ahead – and maybe another Super Bowl victory.
So the Orange Ogre is ragging Pakistan now? I guess he realized that he hadn’t insulted that country yet. Makes me want to regard the 4th of July this year as just another friggin’ hot summer day.
Joanne, thanks for the video – that is a panic!
Well, TC. Looks like I got lucky in the last game of the year! Had to do a LOT of switching around and back again to get what I wanted in, but I got a win. And I REALLY didn’t think I could win!
I wish he was better equipped to serve as a president than he is! Sadly, he never will be. And we need to Resist, PERSIST, and ELECT DEMOCRATS to ALL OFFICES!!!
Sounds like you are having a bad start to the year! YUCK! And I thought my start was BAD! Yeah. I am not feeling too good, either.
And my team didn’t do very good tonight, either! OU got beat in double(?) overtime by Georgia!!! Of course!!! We had the game WON until we got to the 3rd quarter! And then the 4th came along! And the first OT! Damn. I knew we would lose this game cause Baker Mayfield won the Heisman! We never win when we win the Heisman! Happens EVERY time!!! Ugh!!! Ah well. So much for spilled milk!
Yeah. tRump is starting off the year no different than the last year ended.
I watched the end of that game and was thinking of you while doing so.
Thanks all. Hugs!
