It’s a very busy day here in the CatBox, late this morning I’ll be going to the Heights for my "interview" and I won’t get back until late this afternoon. Therefore this will be my only article today, and I won’t be sending links messages on Care2.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:16 (average 5:09). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): THAT’S AMORAL – Parody of That’s Amore
Great one Don! Amoral? That’s the Republican Reich! RESIST!!
From YouTube (Full Frontal Channel): Women for President
I’m sorry my schedule prevents me from doing my normal Full Frontal article for Sam’s first show of the season. This is Act 2, the middle segment. To watch the other two, click here. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: One of the nation’s most prominent cowards achieved his long-standing goal of banning courageous people from serving in the military, the coward confirmed on Tuesday.
The coward, who avoided serving in the military no fewer than five times, told reporters that he had specifically targeted courageous people “because they make people like me look bad.”
“I know what they’re up to—enlisting in the military so that people like me look like spineless losers,” the coward said. “Well, if they think they’re going to get away with bravely serving their country, they better think again.”
That sounds right, Andy. A post-op Male to Female woman still has more balls than Drumpfenfarten! RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
PPC: Well done! Love seeing AOC’s dance routine too! She’s awesome!!
FFC: Looking good! Women power! Love Sam, w/watch the rest later.
NYer: Despicable Pathetic Don for even doing this. I have more faith in whoever signs up for the military, than dt who passed this ruling by trying to subvert their service to our Country. How despicable to even do this! I do appreciate Andy’s TRUTH words (in article), about dt better though.
Cartoon: Yep!!
Hope that your interview goes well, and safe trip to & from. Take good care, relax when you get home, take care, and Thanks, Tom.

4:18 Rawr !
Another casualty of not requiring kids to be educated in civics is the census. I made a point of reading this because of my concern about a possible citizenship question. Sadly, that danger is one of the least of our worries.
Quote from Twitter: “Well, here’s how to get GOP Senators to vote to fund the government: Have the FBI announce that the lack of funds means they will have to stop investigating Hillary Clinton’s emails.” – Walter Dellinger
Other PP – LOL! Don’s no Dean, but, considering everything, it’s not a bad impression at all.
Sam – Male candidates do not get evaluated on their “likeability.” They get evaluated on their “gravitas.” Therefore, Bill Clinton can play the saxophone, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot dance. If this makes sense to you … PLEASE explain it to me. I’m afraid I can agree that we are not off to a very good start. Which does not mean we are doomed. I hope.
TNY – Yeah. Actually that’s only one aspect of the trans ban. iDJiT is playing to his supporters “Ick” factor. So they can all stay mentally immature forever. Together.
Cartoon – The real Jesus always keeps promises, including to billionaires – to whom he promised it would be harder for them to get to heaven than it would be for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
Congrats JD on your senator Michael Bennett who came out swinging!

Thank you – I am so proud! I was already set to embed the short version tomorrow and link to the full one, and will still do so unless TC jumps on it.
I have the Kos short version in the Open Thread, but as you will see, I deferred to you on in depth coverage.
The short version I embedded (in the open thread) is a little longer still, and the full version I linked is 24 minutes. So many of us don’t have 24 minutes without notice … I figure that’s what YouTube’s “watch later: is for.
Cool!
Sam: So, we are still in a sexist society, despite the fact that some of us thought we’d matured beyond that.
PPC: Soo good!
FFC: I just worry about the possibility that the demo will split the vote…shoot themselves in the foot again!
New Yorker: The sad thing is that so many right wing patriots never put 2 and 2 together to notice that their loudmouthed hero could not care less about serving his country, oh, and theirs; still can’t.
‘Toon: You betcha!
I agree with you Joanne that we need civics in the classroom again. It was required in high way back when I was a teen.
Thank you for your posts TomCat. I hope your interview went well. Fingers crossed.
PPC: Great parody. I too like the way A.O.C. dance routine.
FFC: Agree with Joanne’s comment. Women have brains and know haw to use it. Give them credit.
NYer: Yes I agree he was and still is a big coward.Just like he is now portrays each and every day to us, that he’s not for serving our country…just himself.
Cartoon: Yeah.
Good luck today, TC. Praying that your interview went well, that it ends with positive results for you.
i look forward to finding out how your interview goes, TC!! ??
PP: Some vague crooning in there, but it took nothing away from a superb text. Kudos to Don for embedding Alexandra Ocazio-Cortes dance routine in the parody. That Republican “shaming” sure did backfire.
Sam ?: Spot on, Sam. Five women come out to run for President and the press reacts with an male knee jerk straight from the fifties. How pathetic. I can assure you Angela Merkel was never encountered by the German press like this and Angela never did likeable, let alone softly spoken. She demanded and commanded equal treatment and that’s exactly what she got.
TNY: Having the coward come out and admit he’s a coward is actually a little brave and doesn’t fit the picture of Drumpf, Andy. Drumpf is yellow through and through, an no orange tan spray can hide that.
I hope your interview went well, TomCat!
Puzzle — 3:41 I take it you will not be eating your bigger cousin!
Parody Project — Excellent!! Amoral!!! Sorry Don but that wig has to go!
Full Frontal — Very cool and about time that there are so many women candidates. I have always said that if you want peace and good government elect women. Look how Nancy Pelosi is doing . . . she has lady balls!
The New Yorker — To use one of Trump’s favourite words, Trump is a disgrace! Now that his doctor has admitted that there were no bone spurs, Trump should be charged as a draft evader! (Yeah, I know Jimmy Carter pardoned all draft dodgers back in January 1973 but couldn’t the pardon be revoked for Trump?)
Cartoon — That’s the truth . . . unfortunately. Pseudo Jesus loves billionaires, especially if they are Republicans.
I hope the interview went well! Looking forward to hearing about the new place!
I’m hoping cousin Leon will ketch me a dawg!
Thanks and way pooped hugs to all.
