I’m sorry to be brief. I feel like something I should bury in my box.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:58 (average 6:05). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Nancy Pelosi’s Speaker Fight Goes Back To 2012
I used to oppose Nancy for the Speakership, but now that she has earned endorsements from MoveOn and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, I’ve changed my mind. RESIST!!
From YouTube (RWW Channel): RWW News: Liz Crokin Says California Wildfires Were Set To Burn Evidence Of Pedophilia in Hollywood
Barf Bag Alert!!
What garbage! But if that fool is right, Russian hookers will put those fires out. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: In a startling break with Thanksgiving tradition, Donald J. Trump refused to pardon the White House turkey after claiming that it was working as a secret operative of the billionaire George Soros.
A group of fourth graders from Bethesda, Maryland, who had gathered on the White House lawn for the annual turkey-pardoning ceremony appeared unprepared for the anti-Soros outburst that Trump unleashed on the Thanksgiving bird.
“That turkey was sent by Soros to spy on me,” Trump said, angrily turning on the fowl. “A lot of people are saying this.”
While the oblivious turkey pecked desultorily at the ground, an increasingly enraged Trump spewed a stream of conspiracy theories linking the feathered animal to global élites, election fraud in Florida, and Jim Acosta.
Dang Andy! I’ll save the turkey! (burp!) RESIST!!

It hasn’t found the way in six years. It never will, because it can’t turn left.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
5:44 Something from Oz, for a change.
Nancy – If you think about it, it’s not just the positive endorsements, it’s the negative ones. The Republicans are pushing to get rid of her because they are TERRIFIED of her. That alone is a GREAT reason to keep her.
YT2 – Oh for God’s sake. This is not worth debunking.
TNY – Sounds like straight news.
Cartoon – For a second there, I thought there was an error because the path is not blocked. Then I read your explanation. I see.
MSNBC: She packs a punch, with a lot of experience…it will be refreshing to see her in the SoH billlet.
BBA: What I find amazing/scary is that a lot of people listen to this sheet. unreal !!
NYer: Strangely….I can see dt saying that. lol, Andy.
Cartoon: Ahhhh…..of course!
Oh, you don’t sound good, hope that you start feeling better. Get your rest, take good care, & Thanks, Tom.

MSNBC: I think Pelosi is needed right now. She knows how to get things done.
BBA: I tried it for 28 seconds and became ill. I can’t believe that people listen to and believe this malarkey.
NYer: dumpy is so crazed right now that I can see him really saying this.
Cartoon: So true.
Please take care of yourself TomCat. Take some time off if needed to get better.
MSNBC: I can understand why many (especially “mature”) Democratas do not want a change in leadership right now. The party needs unification and no strife. But if you look at the make-up of your voting population and at the new Democrats that have been voted in ON ALL LEVELS, then the party needs to take its surge in young voters and the huge increase in female Democrats taking seats all around the country very seriously indeed. If Pelosi keeps doing things her way and goes for bipartisanship in the senate as she has declared soon after the election, she’ll increase the strife instead of lessening it. I do hope she’ll take her cues from the young(er) too. For everyone’s sake.
RWW: The headlines across the video capture were more than I could stomach right now. How is it possible that this vile ??is even allowed to air? But Chris McDonnald and Liz Crokin will have sense enough not to air this in California with more than 60 dead and hundreds still missing. This is only for their delusional followers who are far away from the real tragedy.
TNY: Actually it was a French turkey, Andy.
Cartoon: The elephant can’t turn left, but it’s head is too big to turn around too. It’s been stuck in the first dead-end for those six years.
Take care of yourself, TomCat. Even more than usual.
MSNBC: I only recently sent her a message about stepping aside, if she will noontime taking on global warming issues, only to be told by someone else that she’s been chaffing at the bit to do just that. But, if MoveOn and the CPC have both endorsed her, I’m with her, too.
RWW: QAnon has been seen to be full of sh*t, an these two are shoveling it soooooo fast. Waht utter, total idiocy. “Eating babies,” is that a dog whistle for Anti-Semitism? You know. those Jews who eat Christian babies? Apparently, the tradition known as having the door open at the Passover seder, for Elijah to come in, reportedly began as a way of showing that the Jews did not do that…allowing anyone to see what was on the table. These people are so prone to delusion, that they will make up anything, buy into anything, just to convince themselves that they are the owners of final truth! Maybe the human race deserves to go out with global warming.
New Yorker: Andy has been tapping into Dumphy’s dreams?
‘Toon: Good one!
MSNBC: I agree with you that she has come a long way to be supportive of important issues. So hopefully they will let her be the speaker.of the house. She has the knowledge and experience.
BBA: Agree with others that I can’t believe people listen to such trash.
TNY: What an idiot. Turkey spying oh him……just when we already knew he was crazy..he gets even worse.
Cartoon: Like it.
Puzzle — 5:10 I thought this was a psychedelic snowflake, not a tree flower!
MSNBC — Pelosi must be a uniter bringing the old guard and the progressive caucus together ideally with a progressive focus that clearly supports the middle and working class, as well as the low income people. My concern is that she may be too old guard. I hope she does not believe Diaper Don like Harry Reid always seemed to believe McTurtle.
RWW — WTF??? These two sound like escapees from a hospital for the criminally insane!
The New Yorker — Too bad Diaper Don isn’t a turkey (as in the feathered kind!). The US might be able to get rid of him . . . although I don’t advise eating that foul fowl!
Cartoon — That elephant only knows one direction — reverse aka backwards! It will never make it to the other side of the maze!
The cold making the rounds right now is a doosie! I have it with sore throat and cough, but strangely enough, not with plugged nose. However my breathing is certainly affected. Please take care and get lots of rest and drink lots of water and tea.
MSNBC: Leopards can’t change their spots, but people can change their opinions and attitudes.
RWW: Those bozos are always looking for scapegoats. Anything but climate change/global warming, which in their tiny minds doesn’t exist.
TNY: We all know who the real “turkey” is in that story!
Cartoon: You have to be able to turn both ways.
