It’s another temperate sunny day, which means I’ll need A/C in a couple hours. I slept well last night and for two more hours this morning. I must have needed it, because I feel ready for more.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:46 (average 5:02). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Fantasy Football Report:
Here’s the latest from our own fantasy football league.
Scores:
Congrats to Pam, Patty Monster, and Squatch.
Standings:
Kudos to Pam and Patty Monster for leading the league undefeated.
Short Takes:
From YouTube (SNL Channel): SNL Season 44 is Almost Here!
Woooo Hoooo!! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From YouTube (Media Matters Channel): Conservatives dismiss Christine Blasey Ford’s report that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her
Barf Bag Alert!!
Everything Republicans say about this is foul enough to meet their standards for eleventh-hour love of their own perverts. It would be different, if a Democrat had jaywalked or farted in public. Oh, My! Imagine the horror! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From The New Yorker: Saying that he would like to help the Senate Judiciary Committee “in any way I can,” Judge Merrick Garland announced on Monday that he is “still available” to be confirmed as a United States Supreme Court Justice.
“I haven’t heard from anyone on the Judiciary Committee,” Garland said. “But I just want to let them know that I’ve let bygones be bygones if they’d like to confirm me now.”
The judge said that he was “not surprised” that no one from the White House has called about his availability for the Supreme Court job. “I’ve been reading that Woodward book,” he said. “It sounds like things can get pretty hectic over there.”
Andy, I agree that Garland is being most considerate, but if Trump can’t get fellow pervert Kavanookie, his next choice as nominee will be fellow pervert Judge Roy Moore. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

Happy Birthday, Mitch, with many more to come…
Hugzzz, Jim.

5:00 Those bicyclists are not prey, they’re plastic, so don’t pounce.
SNL – Woo-hoo indeed!
MM – Well, we knew this was coming. And she knew it was coming. That doesn’t excuse it, anything but, but it does excuse me from watching a barf-bag alert video.
TNY – OMG, don’t you wish!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITCH !!
Cartoon – Yeah, no s**t.
SNL has been around THAT long? Holy Guacamole!
No surprise the Con-servatives are ganging up on anybody who speaks out against Kavanaugh. Kava-nazi is their Golden Boy. They hope that he will make the Supreme Court a tool of the right-wing and of greedy corporations – permanently. That is why we need to fight back with everything we’ve got! Keep calling your Senators, regardless of where they stand. Here’s a new arrow for your quiver: Kavanaugh apparently has a gambling problem, and owed between $60,000 and $200,000 on credit card and bank loans in 2016.
Ah, if only we could get Garland back!
The second cartoon – yep, that’s Republican Freedom all right. Freedom to sink and drown.
Great pic, Joanne D. That Iwo Jima shot is arguably the most frequently lampooned photo in history.
SNL: I am licking my lips already!
MMC: Literally finished dinner only a short while ago, will not watch this horse-poo spouting twit! These clowns know no bottom. Anita Hill had a recent op-ed piece in the NY Times, 27 years after she was attacked for being honest, tying to keep a pervert from SCOTUS!
New Yorker: Merrick, Merrick, Merrick!
‘Toon: Plant those trees, plant those trees!
Mitch: He says thanks a lot, everybody!!!!!!!!! Mrs. D. baked a marvelous looking Peach sour-cream coffee cake, and speak of licking lips, I am about to dig in! Also, staying vertical!
SNL: I can’t wait, lol !!
BBA: Makes me ill hearing their train of thinking re: this. SICK!!
NYer: Gawd….wouldn’t that be great???? Love it! LOL, Andy
Mitch: Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a great and fun day!! Happy Birthday!!
2nd Cartoon: UGH !!
Beautiful day here. Seems I’m always tired these days…I ignore it. lol. Hope that you have a great relaxing evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.
Say, TC – thanks for making me feel old by noting it will be SNL’s 44th season. That means I would have been 26 y/o at its inception. *sigh*
Happy Birthday, Mitch!
Hope you like chocolate cake …
Two of us were 24 at its inception.
I was 29 but overseas, and even after I returned, I really didn’t have good access to TV for many years. My cat used to go watch at a neighbor’s house, from their window sill.
I trust that, at this point, asking the cat’s opinion is not possible. ?
Alas, no, and all three of the neighbors in that family are also gone. But if they HAD watched it, I suspect he would have LOVED it. It would have given him ideas to become even more devious, though.
We male cats tend to be that way! ?
And male Tuxedo cats (which he also was) more than most!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mitch!!!
SNL: Playing the video returned “The uploader has not made this video available in your country”. That doesn’t bode well for us Aussies, does it. ???
MM: No one on the right questions the timing of the letter/petition signed by 65 women, all calling Kavanaugh a darling, brought forward by Republicans, do they? Get a grip.
TNY: I hope Judge Merrick Garland has let bygones be bygones himself, is very content in his current job and can watch this whole charade with a little smile, glad that it all passed him by.
?? Happy birthday, Mitch! ??
Happy Birthday, Mitch!
Thanks and Hugs!
