It’s a busy day here in the shiny new CatBox and the last day of my first month living here. This is today’s only article, because the PP fantasy football league is drafting today. Please expect no more than a Personal Update tomorrow, because it’s a busy WWWendy day. Weekend Hugs to all.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:31 (Average 5:16). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): What Is Vladimir Putin Up To Now?
Vladimir Putin [R-RU] loves to make extreme bellicose moves, because the more jealous Widdle Donnie Piddle Top is, the more deferential to Daddy Vladdy he becomes. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): WHO’LL STOP THEIR REIGN?
Amen Don! The reign of Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten, Bought Bitch Moscow Mitch, and their Republican Reich must be stopped! RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Beatles – A Day In The Life
Ah… The memories! RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Is Putin trying to show why Trump asks G7 to go back to G8?
I think Putin is demonstrating that Trump’s nose will stay in Putin’s ass no matter what Putin does!
Cartoon: How apropos! giggle..;-)
MSNBC: I sure do miss John McCain. This is scary news, putin’s act of aggression, as he has in the past, & present.
PPC: Excellent, well done, (and sung)!
Beatles: Gawd, sure brings back good vibes, and memories.
I sure hope that you have a great/relaxing day. Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

5:18 At 14″ max and many under an inch, the Greeks must have been real snowflakes (or, more likely, had great senses of humor and irony.)
OMG, this is such a hoot. I think I set the embed code to start at the right place, but in case I didn’t, push it to 1:05.
It only goes to 1:54 – but that’s plenty. I got this from Crooks and Liars, where there is some description and some great comments, including some great cartoons.
Something else that’s pretty funny – Email goof leaks corporate playbook
Cartoon – Good idea!
MSNBC – Just see the video above. (I can’t wait till someone shows it to Trump. His reaction will be telling – not least if he doesn’t react.)
Other PP – Clearly, we need to do it ourselves. No one’s going to do it for us.
YouTube – one of the more outstanding pieces in a monumental and groundbreaking ouvre.
On that video – Politizoom found the lyrics at The Hill which helps considerably:
Since CC on that particular YouTube video does me no good, I Googled around and also found it had the first two verses. I take it that every syllable, word or phrase is actually Trump speaking – is that correct?
Since it may be hard to follow for even you w/ normal hearing, here are the lyrics to the first two verses:
“Señorita”
I love it when you call me Señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn’t need ya
But every touch is ooh-la-la-la
It’s true la-la-la
Ooh I should be running
Ooh you keep me coming
For ya
Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name la-la-la
It felt like ooh-la-la-la
Yeah, no
Yes, every syllable is Trump speaking. I assume the pitches are altered because the tune is definitely present.
Thank you for sharing, Tom Cat.😸😺
MSNBC: “…our government SHOULD be leading the way….” Right, yeah, tell that to Orange featherhead! I’ll bet Dumpy is hoping that Putin will mass troops off our shores, if Dumpy looses in 2020!
PPC: Yet another good one!
‘Toon: NO, let’s not. I do not want them to have any further lasting claim to infamy, as in “There is no such thing as bad publicity!”
Still love the Beatles!
Joanne’s MSNBC video is definitely a hoot!
Naming hurricanes after Republicans? A splendid idea!
It’s been a pain the last few days, appointments every day then computer problems and I feel that I’m so behind.
Cartoon: Certainly sounds like a great idea to me.
MSNBC: Joanne’s video says it all.
PP: Perfect job, Don.
Always was and will be fan of the Beatles. Brings me memories too.
Good luck with your Fantasy Football draft, TC.
It’s another hot and humid one here again. Hope you are keeping cool.
Take care.
3:59 Sorry, this sea horse isn’t edible, TomCat.
Cartoon: How about starting with naming them after the Trump family members?
MSNBC: Trump wastes G7 time on insisting to discuss Rusia returning to the former G8, and what does Putin do? He starts threatening Georgia again because the G7 declined, making Trump look like an absolute fool and leaving no uncertainty with the leaders present at the G7, and many more, to whom Trump is beholden. Trump leader of the world’s greatest power? My 🍑
PPC: While the original Who’ll Stop The Rain was a good protest in itself, Don has certainly made it fit the current political situation like a glove. Especially the last verse is spot on. STOP HIS REIGN
YT: Another Beatles fan here. Keep those memories coming, TomCat.
Puzzle — 5:12 I certainly don’t recommend trying to eat this horsie Puddy Tat.
MSNBC — POTUS is supposed to be the leader of the free world (I personally do not subscribe to that idea), but instead he is Putin’s handmaid. Trump has dictator envy and he proves it daily. He is definitely a clear and present danger to the US and its interests. Send the bastard packing along with the entire Republican Reich!
Parody Project — Another great work by Don! So who will stop his/their reign? You all will as voters when you kick them to the curb with yesterday’s trash! Vote BLUE NO MATTER WHO, but progressive is best!
YouTube — I’m afraid I don’t remember this at all but then I was never allowed to listen to the Beatles. I did however recognise Mike Naismith of the Monkeys and Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones.
Cartoon — AMEN!!! Republicans cause just as much chaos is not more than the average hurricane.
Thanks, Imaginary Stars, Hugs, and AMEN to all!
Puzzle: 8/31: 3:40.
Loved the film of the otter and baby.
Cartoon: It’s a great idea; however, they name the hurricanes at least 10 years before they come out.
MSNBC: Putin has the right idea re: Agent Orange. All he has to do is praise the guy and he gets whatever he wants (or at least comes close).
PPC: These guys are incredible. Yes, we will have to do it ourselves.
Always love the Beatles.
Thanks for the post, and all your posts, TomCat.
Thanks Sheila! Welcome!
