It’s a crappy day here in the CatBox. I managed to eat this morning, but breakfast took over two hours. I’m feeling tired, pained, and down. I’m going back to bed. This is my only article today. I’ll be back in the saddle tomorrow, if I feel better. Happy Hump Day!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:57 (average 6:47). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
A sad day for America!
Trump* Virus Update:
Click for several interactive maps
US Cases: 6,789,877
US Deaths: 200,280
Plus thousands of Trump’s* GOP Plague murders Republicans are hiding from us
Republicans reached another milestone. Next Republican goal? 250,000 by 11/3
Short Take:
From YouTube (a blast of past protest): JOAN BAEZ ~ Joe Hill ~
Joe Hill was a Union organizer, who was falsely accused of murder, convicted, and executed buy Utah Republicans. Tolerating Republican injustice anywhere guarantees it everywhere! Electing Republicans guarantees Republican injustice. RESIST!!
Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom!!

Gee, Tom, I sure do hope that you start feeling better.. and real soon too! You did good by going back to bed to get some much needed rest. Let all fall by the wayside, and get well, first and foremost. Take good, good care, TC, and get your rest!! xo
This just in: “Trump’s ‘Support the Troops’ military ad features Russian armies, and Russian jets.” ~ Sato G. ~
2. re: dt – “A president who takes responsibility for nothing but takes credit for everything.” ~ Barack Obama ~
3. “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” ~ Will Rogers ~
4. “Here’s the deal – Hurricanes don’t swerve to avoid red states of blue states. Wildfires don’t skip towns that voted a certain way, the impacts of climate change don’t pick and choose. That’s because it’s not a partisan phenomenon. It’s Science..” ~ Joe Biden ~
5. “dt feels safe with his rallies. Whether others are safe is not his concern, is it? ~ Ellie M. ~
*(saw this the other day, wish I’d a thought of it first..lol) ‘kcuf’ Trump’.
6. “Scientific American on Tuesday endorsed Joe Biden, the 1st Presidential endorsement in the magazine’s 175 years’ history. It’s editors said they felt compelled to do do because of dt’s well documented rejection of science, from climate change to the Covid 19 has cost tens of thousands of lives. ~ Mark C. ~
As Pat says, going back to bed was definitely the thing to do. “The told me to follow my dreams … so I went back to bed.” I don’t mean that in a snarky way -just that when things get bad, bed is always there, it’s free, it’s not chemically addictive, and it has no side effects.
Oh goody. Just what we needed. NOT.
Cartoon – They can’t have been the first – otherwise why would we have a 1619 project? But for being loud and whiny attention – er, grabbers, they are definitely at the top.
Map – Us, Brazil, India. India is very overcrowded. We and Brazil don’t have that excuse. (If they are gleefully counting deaths, they have made it harder for themselves by concealing many. Oh, I suppose that’s Republican logic.)
BOP – It’s true that power cannot kill the passion for – democracy, for want of a better word – I think this crowd will understand. It takes throwing a few crumbs and manufacturing racism to do thet.
YEAH! The acromegalic kitten is back!
As always, pace yourself, and hope you feel better soon!
Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well today. I agree with Pat and Joanne that I too am happy that you choice to go back to bed. I’m praying that you get to feeling better.
Cartoon: Awful memories.
TVU: Don’t like that the cases continue to rise.43,445 cases and 748 death. If it continues raising by next Tuesday, they’ll be closing down again.
BOP: Wise, meaning words. Great one by Joan.
Hope you get to feeling better, Tom.
I’m following the advice of the dentist surgeon, to lay low due to the yesterday’s surgery. Experiencing lots of facial pain and swelling. I’m taking antibiotics 3X, High dosage of Motrin, Narco if I want to take it. and trying Arnica 30C. which is a natural way to treat swelling and bruising. My face is starting to show bruising. Thank goodness if I had to go out, I’d be wearing a mask. Thanks you all for the well wishes.
Take care. Hope you’ll be able to get back in the saddle, Tom
Thanks TomCat
Arnica’s pretty old-fashioned, but it helps me I’m glad your pain is getting taken seriously by your providers. Keep following their advice and stay safe.
TJ2: Obama speaks facts.
TJ4: Shameful science is something that tRump doesn’t believe in. Yesterday when he was in California, Gov. Newsom was talking about the fires here and mentioning it was due to Climate Change, tRump brushes it off making a commenting that it doesn’t exist.
I’m sorry you feel so bad and hope you’ll get some results on how your infusions are doing. If they work, you may feel a bit better hearing that.
4:10 One of the most uninteresting puzzles to do.
Cartoon: Many ships never made it then; the Mayflower was just lucky. If it hadn’t been the Mayflower it would have been another ship, European seafaring countries were set on colonising the rest of the world and they did.
Update: A new record, but I’d be surprised if the death toll included many victims who died untested in aged care homes or at home and we’ll probably never know the true number.
BOP: Not only a strong protest song with timeless content but a beautiful melody which is just as beautifully sung by Joan.
Thanks and sickly Hugs to all!
