It’s a lazy holiday here in the CatBox. I expect to be in the saddle all week until Sunday. If you are in Dorian’s path, and if you are not a Republican, please move. Holiday Hugs to all.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:33 (average 5:47). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
Fantasy Football Report:
Pam informed me that she is unable to play this year, so I went in and emptied her team to make her players available. Players, when you play End the GOP this year, you will have an automatic win. Don’t forget to set your starting lineup, in time for the Thursday night game.
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Hurricane Dorian Makes Landfall In Bahamas As ‘Catastrophic’ Category 5
The Bahamas should blame Trump. Dorian may have turned north to go after Trump in Camp David. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Full Frontal Channel): Full Frontal Rewind: Climate Change
Republicans are bringing us Republifires, Repulicanes, Republifloods, Republinados, Republidemics, and more. No wonder Sam is scared shitless. We should be too. RESIST!!
From Alternet: The Odessa, Texas mass shooter was accused of threatening his neighbor last month with a rifle.
According to a CNN report, Veronica Alonzo said that the 36-year-old gunman, who killed seven people and injured 22, would frequently shoot out of a structure on top of his house.
The shooter was angry with Alonzo for putting her trash in one of his dumpsters. He threatened her with his rifle, she said.
She explained that he would often shoot at animals in his yard and retrieve them after they were dead.
He must have been a Trump supporter. He was violent nut case, just like his Fuhrer, and he liked to kill animals for fun. You can be sure that Ammosexual Abbot [R-TX] will not even reprimand the police over their failure to take Seth Ator’s guns, after his first violent offense. RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

6:34 Not going anywhere
At this point I think it is – not safe, but we won’t be giving away anything that hasn’t already been given away – to talk about the tweet of the classified photo. And I don’t like to ignore it completely, because it’s really, really bad.
Cartoon – They had no idea how powerful that audience was – that audience, which was quite young then, but is now in large part in charge of everything.
Dorian – Well, I have to be glad it isn’t heading for Alabama, regardless what the Pee-Resident said. I’ll follow it somewhat, while praying for the good people there.
Sam – And to think, she made this episode before the Amazon Basin fires – or i guess I can say fire, since it’s pretty well all of it. Even that – before every tree and plant on the earth is burned to a crisp, the microbes frozen in glaciers will be released and there will be no immunity, and we’ll all be gone. At least they will too.
AlterNet – The police claimed his location was not on GPS. I think we should be aware that there is a virally re-tweeted tweet that he was a “Democrat Socialist with a Beto sticker on his truck.” I guess we know exactly where that is coming from.
Cartoon: Actually, we were quite bummed out about the cancellation, as it was a family past time to watch every week.
Dorian: Know some folks that live on the eastern seaboard, and I can fully understand their concerns. The Bahama’s got slammed!! Sadly…a little boy has died on Abaco Island, they believe he drowned in the rising waters.
Sam: Word. Yep, it’s scary!!! I’m saddened at what will be left behind for our future generation(s). Good vid !!
AN: The violence and horrific incidents that makes the headlines these days makes me ill and saddened. The attack was the second mass shooting to strike Texas in less than one month. On August 3, a white nationalist terrorist armed with an assault rifle and extended-ammo magazines killed 22 people and injured 24 others in a racially motivated massacre at an El Paso Walmart. Meanwhile, the gov’na of this good ole boy state ‘was hours away from enacting multiple new laws that would further reduce gun-control measures as the west Texas shooting (Odessa), was playing out!’ UGH!!! *intelligencer
Holiday Hugs to you too, Tom, and to those who grace this page !
Thank you for the share.😸😺
Cancelling Star Trek: A sad day indeed. At least we got ST:TNG 18 years later.
‘Toon: I was not happy about the cancellation.
Dorian is still battering the Bahamas. As of 8:00PM, it was still east of Freeport, and is stationary. I’t winds have calmed down to a “measly” 140mph!! Climate change is probably responsible for the warmth of the wars that have been feeding him.
Alternet: Child playing with a gun, in Texas, where gun control is seen as virtually a communist plot! Abbot will do nothing! Football and guns, that’s much of Texas!
Cartoon: I wasn’t happy about them cancelling Star Trek.
Dorian: Sad what this hurricane has done. Scary indeed. Been praying for all who have been affected, plus all others who may still be in harms way.
Sam: Scary.
Alternet: He certainly was a very sick minded bas*ard. Always threatening others with his gun. Glad he was taken care of. Just too bad that others suffered.
Take care. Thanks TC
3:05 We’ve seen them before, haven’t we?
Cartoon: I’m waiting for the reruns.
MSNBC: Five deaths already, and more expected. The Bahamas will be trying to desperately restore what Dorian has torn apart for years to come; or until the next category 4 or 5 one. In the meantime the media mostly had eyes for the fool on the hill, trying to explain away why he didn’t know about category 5 with a cap on, to protect him from another hair embarrassment, saying “USA” to remind him which country he’s supposed to be president of. The Bahamas are going to be in dire need of a lot of aid but like Puerto Rico, they won’t see a penny. When damaged, all the aid will go to his resorts.
Sam 🐝: Despite the many times Sam has put Climate Change on her comic agenda, it hasn’t contributed much to a change in the thinking of many Americans, because, like most comedians, she was preaching to the choir. Sad as it is, people’s visceral fear is what determines the change in thinking and mother nature is now throwing everything at us to convince her victims that Climate Change is real. Sadly, by the time she’s strong enough to convince everyone, we’ve passed the point of no return.
By the way, it was very amusing to see Sam using a clip in which Trump himself declared the second Puerto Rico hurricane to be a category 5 one. He’s so demented that he’s reported several times on the news that he never heard of them happening.
Alternet: Seth Ator is a white male, isn’t he? So there’s absolutely no reason to trace him when he threatens his neighbours with a rifle or shoots up anything that moves in his garden. Too many ammosexuals do that in Texas; the police wouldn’t know where to start.
Unfortunately not free, but not impossible either.

Netflix streams the original series, TNG, Voyager, Enterprise, ans most of the movies. 🚀
I can highly recommend having a look at this link, which is both informative and amusing:
Donald Trump’s Greenland plan was widely criticised. But the US has a long history of buying foreign land
That is amusing – but leaves out a factor which I believe is key.
In all of those transactions actual money changed hands. When has Donald John Trump actually PAID for anything? He has done more stiffing than all the starch in the universe. Denmark would have to be nuts to trust him!
Thanks and pooped Hugs to all.
Puzzle — 5:32 Could not get my wheels turning!
Cartoon — I loved that show but my parents did not. They always changed the channel no matter what. Now when I see ST, I cringe at the polyester sets and wardrobes but hey, that was the 60’s — the polyester generation. Loved ST – TNG too to the point of reading all the novels. Those were the days! As one of my friends said, Jean Luc Picard could eat crackers in my bed and I’d dive down for the crumbs.
MSNBC — . . . and Dolt 45 says he’s never heard of a cat 5 hurricane? What a jackass!!! Even as a child, I knew about hurricanes and tornados. Southern Ontario where I was living was battered by Hurricane Hazel in 1954 — 81 dead. Only a demented fool would talk and act as Dolt 45 does. He does not care one bit.
Sam Bee — How long will we be able to say “the bright blue planet” as seen from space?
AlterNet — I heard news that the gunman had been denied a gun license so how did he acquire it? Gun show loophole? Private sale? And Texas governor Greg Abbott’s answer to such shootings is more guns and loosening regulations so I heard. Another demented Republican Ammosexual!
