It’s a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. May the Orb bless my Broncos. I’m getting way too much religious agony this year. WWWendy is due to arrive in a little over an hour. I’m way ready for my shower. We have several chores to do, after she leaves.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:11 (average 6:02). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (SNL Channel): Caravan Cold Open
The absurd things is that the real Republican propaganda is worse than this great satire. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): IF YOU’VE GIVEN UP ALREADY – Parody
Great one, Don!! There is a legitimate time to give up. It’s three days after they nail on the lid. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From Raw Story: [A] wave of robocalls using racist language went out in Georgia in recent days apparently targeted at undermining the campaign of former state lawmaker Stacey Abrams, who is running to become the first black female governor in the United States, according to her and her rival’s campaign.
The calls impersonated media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who earlier this week campaigned with Abrams, and also featured anti-Semitic language, according to audio of the call heard by Reuters.
Although Kemp denounced them, I trust that he paid for and approved them first. It called playing the Republican Reich card. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
8:22 Well, the Canary Islands were so named because of all the wild dawgs running around; maybe you can catch one of those.
SNL – Kate is splendid as Laura. Cecily Strong’s Pirro doesn’t sound insane enough or shrill enough – but Pirro’s real voice is so much like fingernails on a chalkboard I’m not sure it would be possible (not to mention those EYES, my God!). Thankfully I haven’t seen enough of David Clarke in action to comment on Kenan Thompson.
PP – Nice production values too (but George Lucas has a lot to answer for. I grant Lucas did it slower.)
RS – Kemp is starting an “investigation” based on a claim that Democrats hacked into voter registration records. So maybe he didn’t do the robocalls too. It seems like overkill. This is a great time NOT to give up!
Cartoon – AMEN!
Every time I even see Kemp on TV I feel like I need to go and take a shower.
Telling me to vote isn’t preaching to the choir, it’s preaching to the preacher. If I may brag, don’t just vote, I encourage everybody around me to vote. I have been phone banking, writing postcards and mass texting on behalf of Democrats here in Georgia – yes, the Georgia of that cowardly asshat Kemp. As the hoary cliche goes, he isn’t fit to run for dogcatcher! And yes, there have been elections for dogcatchers in the past.
SNL: Such a talented woman. Good show too.
PP: Good song, and words to listen to. Go VOTE!!! if you haven’t yet.
RS: Desperate measures, when they go low, we go high!! GO, Stacey!! for the win!
Cartoon: Yes!!!!! YES!! YES!!
Hi, WWWendy! Hope that you have a good rest of your day, I see we’re up by a few, but the Broncos are right behind my guys. Good game. Enjoy your evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.

SNL: Really got a real kick out of watching Kate. Played the part so well.PP: Love the song. Filled out, sealed and signed my ballot today. Will personally drop it at the voting place two blocks from my house on Tuesday. Hope everyone does vote Blue!RS: I agree with Pat.The people there will go higher and vote for Stacey.Cartoon:YES for sure….VOTE BLUE.
SNL:
PP: Don looks tired, too thin and has a slightly yellowish colour that doesn’t seem to be of the spray-tan type, but he keeps on making these great parodies, almost on a daily basis now. I hope he can reap his rewards when Democrats reclaim The House and lots of other posts all over the country too.
RS: If someone changed his mind and will now vote for desperate Kemp on the basis of a robocall impersonating Oprah using racist and anti-Semitic language – as if she ever would – then their mind wasn’t much to begin with, was it. If it wasn’t so serious, these pathetic and desperate Republican tricks would be laughable.
Cartoon: I don’t think anyone here hasn’t already voted or is isn’t going to vote tomorrow.
If you do not vote, you have no right to complain.
Puzzle — 4:16 Don’t let that flower tickle your nose when you sniff it for edibility!
SNL — I share Lona’s response since I assume she can’t watch it either. I did run across an under 1 minute excerpt but that does not do justice to the mockery that Faux Noise deserves.
Parody Project — Good lyrics. We just don’t know what will happen in life in general. If we give up, that is when our dreams and hopes for the future, for our children’s and grandchildren’s futures die. Get out and VOTE BLUE as if your life and the lives of your children and grandchildren depended on it . . . because they do!!!
Raw Story — In an adaption of the sage saying ‘if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is’, ‘if it sounds like Oprah spouting racist language, it’s not likely her’! Now I am not a card carrying Oprah fan, but she has done much to lift up people, to promote universal suffrage. This definitely sounds like a Republican sponsored effort to promote the dastardly racist Brian Kemp. Republicans are so afraid of losing power that they will do anything even if it is illegal.
Cartoon — VOTE BLUE
as if your life depends on it,
because it does!!!
Thanks all. Pooped Hugs!
