It’s a holiday, here in the CatBox. After publishing my articles for you, I intend to be lazy for the rest to the day. Tomorrow I may publish little. Finding material on Black Friday is almost as hard as finding integrity among Congressional Republicans. Although I will be alone today, WWWendy made me a special holiday dinner. It will include stuffing, green beans, gravy, and one small, finely diced dawg. Yum! Thankful Hugs to all!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:07 (average 4:07). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Takes:
From ProPublica: Three women say they faced sexual misconduct by Gordon Sondland before he was the U.S. ambassador to the European Union and at the center of the presidential impeachment inquiry. They say he retaliated against them professionally after they rejected his advances.
In one case, a potential business partner recalls that Sondland took her to tour a room in a hotel he owns, only to then grab her face and try to kiss her. After she rejected him, Sondland backtracked on investing in her business.
Another woman, a work associate at the time, says Sondland exposed himself to her during a business interaction. She also recalls falling over the back of a couch trying to get away from him. After she made her lack of interest clear, she says Sondland called her, screaming about her job performance.
A third woman, 27 years Sondland’s junior, met him to discuss a potential job. She says he pushed himself against her and kissed her. She shoved him away. She says his job help stopped.
Now we know the real reason Putin’s Pervert picked him: to join the Fuhrer’s pervert parties. RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): FDR Learned The Hard Way Not To Tinker With Thanksgiving
FDR learned. On the other hand, the Republican Reich never learns. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Vox Channel): Why you always seem to have room for dessert
Now I understand why I need to eat different breeds of dawgs, instead of the same breed every day. RESIST!!

4:43 Brrrrr.
Cartoon – Even Inspector G can’t handle that, eh?
PP – Yes, saw the headline, was not surprised. Does he look like a person who would be able to attract a sex partner without force (or payment)? No, he does not.
MSNBC – His intentions were good, of course. Orange Judas’s aren’t. (And, personally, I would be a lot more thankful for more dull days!)
Vox – I think cake or pie would have been a little better – ice cream being liquid. But I take the point. Interesting.
Past – I only knew a few of their songs, and this wasn’t one.
❤️️ Loved the Rudy parody ❤️️
LOL!
Rudy has been a Trump whore for years.
Cartoon: oh! ick!!
ProP: How awful ! These women’s experiences w/this man will last for years. I feel bad for them, and that he wasn’t arrested for these crimes. His atty is just as vile as he is, with his comments and his defense of Sondland.
MSNBC: I didn’t know about this, very interesting. YAY for Thanksgiving!
Vox: How interesting. I love ice cream!
BFTP: Good one. No truer words sung then this one.
Enjoy your day, Tom, be lazy, relax, and take good care. Thanks for all you do.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

2. “Stone’s restrictions on social media/interviews still stands. Is it bad of me that I want him to violate it, and then watch the Judge slap his as- hard?” ~ Kate M. ~ (lol)
3. *Uh-oh! ‘Thomas Bowers, a former Deutsche Bank executive and head of the American wealth-management division, killed himself in Malibu, California, on Tuesday, November 19th, according to the Los Angeles county coroner’s initial report.’

Cartoon: Yuck. Don’t blame Inspector Goosestep for not wanting to eat it.
PP: Shane on him. Getting pretty bad that this still is happening. What part of leave women alone, don’t this idiots understand?
MSNBC: At least FDR tried his best. I could never seen tRump sitting at a table with all of those kids trying to feed them.
Vox: Nice to see that there’s a logical reason why I can still have my ice cream.
CCR: Love this song. Always been a fan of CCR.
Nice of Wendy to prepare a nice dinner for you. Hope you enjoyed it.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
The more climate change is pushing our weather into extremes, the greater the contrast between states, countries and especially hemispheres becomes. While America is gripped by bomb cyclones in Arctic dimensions, I was jubilant Down Under with 1.5 mm of rain yesterday after more than a month of drought and scorching temperatures and winds while the summer hasn’t even started.
3:15 You’ll have to catch those runners first before you can eat them, TomCat.
Cartoon: I thought he looked like a turtle.
PP: Buddies Trump and Sondland are mirror images of each other. Which will also mean that Trump will throw each and every one of his associates under the bus to save his own skin.
MSNBC: Funny how even holidays can become politicised. I know Republicans have been trying to do that to Christmas, but FDR tackling Thanksgiving was new to me.
Vox: This also explains why those fad diets, which allow you to eat as much as you like of one food0item only, like bread, work.
BFTP: Great song, lyrics still ring true.
Sorry – but your Cartoon has earned a hearty and well-deserved THUMBS DOWN!
I happen to LOVE turkey sandwiches, and I’ll be DAMNED if I’ll let you PERVERT them by linking them to Moscow Mitch!
(If you’re honest, you’ll agree you EARNED this THUMBS DOWN!)
Fair enough?
😉
As long as you don’t start with a Republican Trump Turkey, you won’t get a Moscow Mitch sandwich.
I thought this was allusion to all those “My toast has the face of Jesus” or “My fried egg looks lie the Virgin Mary” stoies of “miraculous signs” – which say nothing about the food in question. I didn’t take it as defaming turkey (or turtles for that matter!)
Thanks to your insight – I believe you’re probably right.
But at the same time, I want NO association w/ a delicious turkey sandwich and Moscow Mitch – direct OR tangential.
I understand. I love turtle soup.
Thanks and TGIF Hugs to all!
