It’s another hectic day here in the CatBox. First, I checked a link in a political article. I always do for two reasons. I don’t want to infect the blog with malware, and I don’t want to infect you with malware. Emsisoft detected the malware, and it took almost an hour to remove it. As big a pain as that is, I’m glad I caught it. The blogger has removed the article as soon as I contacted them. Then I spent over an hour finding an obscure setting in Amazon Prime Video. It’s a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My Broncos already had their butts reamed this week. May the divine Orb shine it’s blessed light on your team far better than it did for my Broncos.
Jig Zone Puzzle: Jig Zone did not post a Daily Puzzle today, so I found one I don ‘t recognize as a substitute.
This Puzzle took me 4:11 (average 6:46). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Consequential Week In Impeachment Inquiry
If you think last week was consequential, wait until this week is over! RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Simon & Garfunkel – Scarborough Fair (Full Version) Lyrics
Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
From NPR: President Trump announced that he’s dropping his plan to host next year’s Group of Seven meeting of the leaders of the world’s biggest economies at his Miami-area golf club.
In a series of late-night tweets on Saturday, Trump blamed the reversal [tweeting twit delinked] on what he described as “Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility,” following bipartisan claims that he’s exploiting his presidency for personal profit.
I do love it, when Trump experiences such a costly and embarrassing defeat. RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
5:26 Some seriously dark pieces there.
Cartoon – That was scary – but no scarier than what we are now seeing every blessed day.
MSNBC – For sure there is more coming.
S&G – I definitely remember this. A riddle song that doesn’t provide the solutions – unusual and mysterious.
NPR – In view of his pattern of doubling and tripling and quadrupling down, it surprised me that he capitulated so fast.
Cartoon: Read about this on the military base….we were all stunned by the news…
MSNBC: Gawd, it’s awful now, and will continue to be as long as he’s in the WH. ugh!
YT: Yes. Yes!
NPR: Doral – Bedbug resort. C’mon over!
Thank you!!! for removing the malware so none of us get it on our computers. My Texans are behind, (Colts), so they need to get a ‘move on’, it’s half time now. Hope that you have a good rest of your day/evening, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

2. “Trump gives two female space walkers his middle finger as they correct him, saying that they are not the first women to walk in space, as he said. Flipping the bird. How rude and crude!” ~ Judy S. ~

4. “I love Fall. Orange leaves as crisp as the air, fat jolly pumpkins everywhere, and the scent of impeachment wafting through the sky like a freshly baked apple pie.” ~ Lorry F. ~ 🙂
Not as sharp as what I’d like, but I had to enlarge it first and then zoom in – and so you lose resolution. But you can only work w/ what’s out there.
Thanks, Nameless for meme.
I see kids do that….but a 73 y.o.??? Says alot, doesn’t it?
Gotta say…he’s one rude dude.
It looks very well done to me. I lose resolution sometimes to get an image I really want also.
Thank you for the news Tomcat and friends!!
Another “OOPSIE” in the wrong place.
Thank you for preventing us from downloading malware, TomCat.
2:58 So refreshing to do one we haven’t done before, thank you again.
Cartoon: This was a massacre in which only political careers died, something that is happening on a daily basis now, but nothing compared to the real massacres by gun-toting ammosexuals.
MSNBC: It all sounds hopeful impeachment-wise yet at the same time a little stale as these Trump antics have been going on for three years. It’s sad to see that it has/will cost so many (Kurdish) lives before the majority of American people finally want to see Trump gone.
YT: A long-tested way to get my blood pressure down, even though the text is so sad.
NPR: We’ll never know, but perhaps the other G7 leaders have let him know they will not be coming to one of his resorts. Trump’s usual defence – it was all due to fake media – doesn’t work as well as it did, does it?
Everyone who cared about the Constitution and realized what was happening died a little inside.
Cartoon: Agree with Joanne’s comment. Sad the direction our country is going.
MSNBC: Praying that they continues getting tougher on the stinking idiot. He’s destroyed so many and his time must come to and end. Our country/world can’t take anymore.
YT/S&G: Remember the song very well.
I too “thank you” TC for protecting us from the Malware situation. I know it could destroy one’s computer and also could be very costly for ones who can’t fix the issue on their own.
NPR: What a flippin fool he was to think that he would of even been allowed to do it.
Hope your Sunday went well.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Thanks and Hugs to all.
During the research stage, I always follow all the links in every article I might include for safety’s sake, and I use an excellent program from a NZ company to protect my computers.
To protect your computer – and ours. Thanks.
YVW!
