It’s another sweltering day here in the CatBox with a high of 95°. Last night I executed my Last Will and Testament. WWWendy was thrilled to learn that she gets both the liver and the plunger. I overslept and had a hearty breakfast of gooped potatoes, ground beef, cheese and gravy, gooped watermelon, mixed berry yogurt and apple juice, so I’m running later. Diana will be here in the next 45 minutes to check my butt fungus. Wendy has to work, so she can’t be here to make a video of the event. Update: I have a mildly infested but much more contented ass! Happy Hump Day!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:09 (average 4:46). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
A past blast of protest
Trump* Virus Update:
US Cases: 6,338,119
US Deaths: 191,138
Plus thousands of GOP plague murder victims Republicans are hiding from us
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): ARREST THIS SCARY GENTLEMAN
AMEN, Don! “No Joy” belongs behind bars with his beloved criminal Fuhrer Trump*! RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Jacob Blake Spoke To Biden From His Hospital Bed, Says Family Attorney
Biden’s Kenosha trip was the polar opposite from Trump’s*. Biden conciliated; Biden told the truth; Trump* spewed lies. Trump* threatened. Biden offered solutions; Trump* offered failures. Biden supported victims and upholders of law and order; Trump* supported Gestapo and abusers of power. Biden showed love; Trump showed fear (the opposite of love). RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast of protest): Vietnam War-House of the Rising Sun
From now on, I’ll keep looking for material haven’t used before. Because that’s so hard to find, expect mostly reruns. Protest like the 60s! RESIST!!
Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Have a good and restful day (and spare us the video, please.)
Cartoon – AMEN !!
Map – It’s like the nine-headed hydra. Where is our Hercules?
Other PP – “Since when do Presidents attempt to undermine the vote?” – Every timr a Republican is elected. Certaunly since Nixon anyway. But most try to hide it.
Joe – “Treating him as a person who is worthy of consideration” – That, of course, is the responsibility of us all, and I do it to the best of my ability, as I’m sure does everyone here. So it sometimes coms as a shock that it is so rare that it is noteworthy enough for Mr. Crump to include it in his statement. This makes my own responsibility even more important.
BOP – It’s so interesting that a song about sex trafficking became a song about the trafficking of (mostly) male bodies into was.
Cartoon: Yes!!
TVU: Same.
PP: Well said, and sung.
MSNBC: Biden’s consoling words, and Joe’s actions help to heal Mr. Blake’s wounds.
BOP: Can still sing along with these words…good song.
Oddly, our weather is somewhat cooler here..@78 right now, with light rain. ptl !! Glad to read that your feeling better with regard to your gluteus maximus, hope it stays that way too. Hope that you get your nap, rest in, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in: “Trump orders military newspaper, ‘The Stars & Stripes’, serving our Armed Forces since the Civil War, to shut down. His eagerness to kill the newspaper is hard to fathom. ~ Joel A. ~
2. “I guess Trump’s undying respect for the military is the reason he demanded that the USS McCain be moved in Hawaii and berthed elsewhere, so he wouldn’t see it, and get triggered.” ~ Dan D. ~
3. To dt – “For the first time in your life, be brave. Resign or face the consequences.” ~ Mary Trump ~
4. “If this hellscape exists now, why is it here while you’re President, dude?” ~ Rachel Maddow ~
5. “81 Nobel Peace Prize winners endorse Biden-Harris for willingness to listen to experts deep appreciation for using science to find solutions.” ~ Scott D. ~
6. “Biden said there should be live on screen fact checks during the debates. ~ anon ~
TJI #1 – It’s only hard to fathom if you assume Trump* is a human being. He isn’t.
and one more TJI to add – “I made a mistake about something. I thought you could defeat hate. Hate only hides. And when someone in authority breathes oxygen under that rock, it legitimizes those folks to come on out from under the rocks.” – Joe biden. Don’t feel bad, Joe, Most of us made the same mistake. We are all learnig with you.
Good to hear your butt fungus is clearing up. These days it’s the little blessings that get us through the day, isn’t it?
3:28 This one might get stuck in the gooper, TomCat.
Cartoon: One of those appointments that can’t be easily undone.
Update: Still no levelling off of numbers in sight.
PP: Another excellent production by Don and kudos for him wearing a mask four times to record his little ensemble even though he looks a bit silly wearing a mask while singing.
MSNBC: The next two months are going to be filled by two candidates in opposition in the most literal sense of the word.
BOP: I’d never thought of the House of the Rising Sun as a protest song before.
Cartoon: Most definitely.
TVU: It’s going up again. We’re reporting 453 new cases. SDSU has reported 120 new cases from just having students on campus for a couple of days before they closed on campus classes three days ago. Now the long weekend being a hot one here, everyone will be partying/gathering at the beaches. So I don’t look forward to the numbers on Tuesday.
PPC: Great one. tRump and dEjoy need to be prosecuted for their evil acts.
MSNBC: I praise Joe Biden for speaking to Jacob Blake and his family. He does care about people no matter what color/race. I also praise him for speaking to the people in Kenosha. Biden speaks peace and offers them solutions, not cause chaos like heartless tRump.
BOP: I remember that song from my younger years. Happy to hear your fungus is improving. Also glad that you had a hearty breakfast.
Hope you have a nice afternoon/evening.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Thanks and extreme Hurry Hugs to all!
I was thinking about you today, TC … it was 115 F here and I know it must’ve been awful up there! Glad your fungus is fading….
and that you’re in good hands! It help me to sty cool by NOT watching news!
58 days, friends……
