I have a hot one on tap here at the CatBox, and my plan for the day is to get my articles up early, and before it gets too hot out, and then, to go to the bank, so I have a supply of money with which to pay WWWendy. When I return, I plan to hide from the heat for the rest of the day. I understand that least a couple Care2 denizens have not been getting the daily messages I send to help Care2 "fiends" find our articles. If you have not been receiving yours regularly, please let me know.

Today’s took me 2:44 (average 4:46). To do it click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): DON’T WORRY – Parody of Don’t Worry, Be Happy
It would be nice, but it’s easier said than done. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Media Matters Channel): What abortion coverage looks like on Fox News
Barf Bag Alert!!
Pure Bullshit! A culture of death has taken root between the ears of Faux Noise Sheeple! RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Millions of Americans are demanding an investigation into why, if F.B.I. operatives managed to infiltrate the 2016 Trump campaign, they utterly failed to prevent a nightmarish despot from being elected.
In interviews across the country, Americans expressed dismay and, in some cases, despair at the news that F.B.I. infiltrators might have had a golden opportunity to prevent the nation’s current unspeakable nightmare from unfolding but did not get the job done.
“The thought of F.B.I. infiltrators being inside the Trump campaign but not sabotaging it is, in a word, devastating,” Carol Foyler, of Akron, Ohio, said. “If it turns out to be true, I will totally lose my faith in F.B.I. infiltrators.”
Dang Andy! That’s a more realistic investigation than the one the Fuhrer wants! RESIST!!

A foot deeper, he would have voted Trump!

PPC: I’m not a drinking woman anymore, but I might take it up again with the sheet going on. lol / jk
BBA: Ick!!!
NYer: Lol, Andy. Truth be told, lol.
Cartoon: Bummer.
Hi, Wendy! Hope you have a cool day there, the rain from early this morning, make weeding the lawn into a sauna complete with bugs. Enjoy the rest of your day, take care, and Thanks, Tom.
PP: After your main feature today, TomCat, its hard to follow Don’s advise and stop worrying an just be happy. Something I’m not good at to start with. But perhaps I should take part of his advise and stop listening to the news, and stop reading Politics Plus while I’m at it? What do you think?
NO!
5:48 That is one. healthy. flamingo!
Just out yesterday – it didn’t take long to start a petition.
Copyrighted , so I need to link to it, but pertinent to all the discussions of paranoia I am seeing all over today.
PP –
Fox – I am so grateful to those who watch this so that I don’t have to (although definitely NOT to those who watch this because they believe it.)
TNY – That certainly would be the $64 Trillion question, wouldn’t it – if we didn’t have a much clearer idea of what really happened.
Cartoon – Oh, he might have. He might have voted Republican. People’s necks are such different lengths that it can be hard to tell. Look at Ivanka – no, wait, don’t unless you have a barf bag.
A piece of good news: AMY MCGRATH WON HER PRIMARY !!!
And More: STACEY ABRAMS WON HER PRIMARY !!!
Been there… signed that!
YT: I HATE that song “Don’t Worry Be Happy.” I would not be surprised if there is a special place in Hell reserved for everybody involved in producing that monstrosity.
BBA: Faux News is itself an abortion, and it aborts its viewers’ intellects.
TNY: A lot of us bellyaching about the Orange Ogre getting elected don’t have to look far to see part of the blame – in the nearest mirror.
Cartoon: At least I can brag that I am not “he.” I voted!
Joanne, love the picture!
There’s pretty much only one person involved in producing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” – McFerrin did the vocal. He did all the instrumentation vocally, with the exception of the percussion, which he did percussively, mostly using his body. IIRC, during the multiple takes required to put it together, he was his own recording engineer too. I don’t care for the song either, but I also believe it unfairly represents him – he is one HELL of a musician. He’s identified with jazz, but no one genre is big enough to contain him. I was totally blown away the first time I heard him perform the Concerto in G Minor for Cello, Strings, and Continuo by Vivaldi (He only does one of the cello parts, but that’s plenty.) The album that’s on is called “Paper Music.” Also, dynasty, schmynasty, but he is the son of an opera singer and the father of another professional singer. I’d rather not see him in hell (though the song is welcome to go there.)
The pic is new from the French animal shelter. The saying is an old Al-Anon saying. 😀
I’m not proud of it, but smarmy Tucker Carlson has one of those faces cum personality that I would just like to swing back and sl…
Amen, brother! He is the epitome of smarm! Even the demigod thereof!
PP: I like it! I have stopped watching the news, for the most part, looking for only the weather report. I get my news from NPR, Maddow, and the alternate sources on the web, and from here.
MMC: Carlson is nought but a leftover drug of smarm!
New Yorker: It took me a moment to realize that this was not a straight story! I still want to know how McTurtle convinced Obama not to spill the beans on Russia’s involvement in the election! Perhaps Obama’s single biggest mistake.
‘Toon: Too true!
Right there with you on Obama’s decision not to go public with Russian involvement in the election, Mitch. I never understood why he did that and wondered about the leverage Mitch McConnell had at the time.
Oh, “c-o-n-v-i-n-c-e-d”? Is that how we are spelling “extorted” now?
Here’s what I think happened. Had Obama released it anyway, Republicans were poised to blame the Democrats for an eleventh hour election theft. At the none, nobody realized the extent to which the conspiracy had penetrated voter’s thinking. And since nobody thought Trump had the slightest chance, Obama thought the best course was to wait for Hillary to win and let her deal with it. What a mistake!
Oh, “m-i-s-t-a-k-e”? Is that how we are spelling “lack of omniscience” now?
Thanks all. Hump day Hugs!
