It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox. I had trouble holding my supper down last night, but it was my fault. I became distracted by the news on TV and ate too much too fast. That will do me in every time. I received the results from my PET Scan last night, but I could not understand a damn thing about what they mean. Therefore I sent them to Dr. Nameless in email, and hopefully he can tell us more. Please expect short days from me on both Sunday and Monday. Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, with all the attendant de-stinking and chores. On Monday, I’m going out for a drive with Sandi, a good friend for 35 years with whom I have made hundreds of trips to the prison for volunteer work. She is also a cancer survivor. I should be fully back in the saddle on Tuesday. Have a wonderful weekend.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:15 (average 4:56). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
They are building a National Socialist Reich to do that very thing!
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Trump Praises Coronavirus Response As Cases Rack Up And Markets Spiral
Criminal Fuhrer* Trump and the Republican Reich don’t give a damn about the 3,500 Americans trapped on that ship. He only cares about keeping his “numbers” low. Earth to asshole… come in! Your numbers are going way up, anyway. But he told the truth about one thing: that he should have become a medical expert instead of running for President. AMEN! If only he had done ANYTHING, other than running for President! RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Senator Susan Collins, of Maine, has not decided whether she will wash her hands in response to the coronavirus outbreak, Collins confirmed on Friday.
Speaking to reporters at the Capitol, Collins said that she was “deeply troubled” by the behavior of the covid-19 virus.
“The behavior of the coronavirus is, to me, profoundly disturbing,” she said. “Whether it rises to the level of something I should respond to by washing my hands is a question I am devoting a great deal of thought to right now.”
Dang, Andy, I have an idea! Until she makes up her mind, she should go live on the cruise ship her criminal Fuhrer Trump* refuses to rescue. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Three Dog Night “One”
Ah… the memories. RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

4:38 Doesn’t that blue bird know about COVID-19? Get your talons off your face, Mac!
Dr. Nameless to the rescue! Please say hello to Sandi for those of us introduced ourselves to her (and mostly to Terry) all those years ago. And wash your hands.
Cartoon – Actually, though, not true. Treating workers like human beings instead of interchangeable parts prevents strikes pretty well.
Yes. Withholding tests so that any deaths from COVID-19 don’t get counted as COVID-19 is not good government by any measure.
TNY – Going on a cruise would be a good idea for her, but I hope she doesn’t. The voters might forget what a jerk she is if they aren’t constantly hearing this stuff from her.
Past – Three-in-One? (JK)
JD, the blue parrot is doing a palm plant because he can’t believe the lies and garbage coming out of Trump’s mouth!
Trump is public enemy #1 without doubt!!!
I wrote my comment on the puzzle before I read yours. Sorry.
Cartoon: Ugh!
MSNBC: He’s so full of S–T, he makes me ill listening to the Liar-in-Chief. I’m glad that ‘they’ cancelled the SXSW…it certainly is a sound decision, (even if it is a big money shaker).
NYer: Exactly! Or better yet, shake hands with dt. lol
BFTP: Gawd, I’ve heard that they put on an awesome show too. Love their music.
Hi, Wendy! Uh Oh, glad that you are on the mend from eating too fast…and that you get to share some quality time with your dear friend. Hope that your day goes well, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in: “I just received a call from Mike Pence, thanking WA state for our own efforts to combat the COVID-19. I told him our work will be more successful if the Trump administration stuck to the Science and stick to the truth.” ~ Jay Inslee ~ (Governor). DT just called him a ‘snake’ because from Mr. Inslee’s remark, and who stood up to him. pb
2. “The GOP – Goons on Parade” ~ John N. ~
3. “The WHO has shipped COVID-19 test kits to 60 countries…the United States is NOT one of them.”
~ Sharman G. ~
Cartoon: Indeed. That is why we need some serious election reform in this country – reform of how elections are funded, reform that makes it easier for citizens from all walks of life to vote, reform that curtails gerrymandering so voters are more likely to get real representation.
Hoping things go well for your weekend.
‘Toon: Joanne has a good point!
MSNBC: Watching Pence’s delivery-he is so full of shit it is coming out of his pores! Watching Dumpy, one wants to laugh! Dumpy likes the numbers “being where they are,” because then he can claim that he’s doing a marvelous job, walking dick, with no natural ability other than to spread bull! Dr. Schmuck and a quarter! Meadows- “Leader of the Freedom caucus,” aka: Tea Party. Do you hear Nancy,fool!
New Yorker: The woman supposedly does not “get” why her constituents are pissed at her? (Mummmmmble-grummmble).
BFTP: wonderful!
4:11 That Macaw isn’t scratching, it’s face-planting because I was so slow. Watch that beak, chew well and eat very, very slowly.
Cartoon: Bananarepublicans have finally gotten that regime in place.
MSNBC: Trumpian “The tests are beautiful” translates into “Again I have no f***ing idea what I’m talking about.” That’s about his only natural ability. He’s so stupid that he explains before the camera how he’s cooking the numbers to keep them low. I suppose he thinks it makes him look good. I hope the saw this clip on the cruise ship; 3,500 votes less for Trump.
TNY: Collins must have the cleanest hands in the Senate, she’s washed them so often, COVID-19 or not.
BFTP: I’m more familiar with covers of this number by others, I think. For me, Three Dog Night is forever associated with “Mama told me not to come”, probably because that was a hit in Europe.
Thanks and Hurry Hugs to all!
