Keith from Thursday Part 2
It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. Unpacking and putting away groceries took over 90 minutes yesterday. Also, I slept poorly last night, as I wondered how our nation can survive another week and a half. I expect to be in the saddle tomorrow. Tomorrow and Sunday are High Holy Days in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb, but my Portland gave a bye in the Wild Card Week of the playoffs! TGIF!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:45 (average 5:05). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
Short Takes:
From Crooks and Liars: Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) has been a Congresswoman for approximately 9 minutes, and saw fit to make herself famous by quoting Adolf Hitler in her speech supporting Trump’s attempted coup to overturn Biden’s win in the 2020 election.
It America survives, Trump* will be out office on or before the 20th, but He would never have become Fuhrer, if he did not represent the beliefs of the Republican Party, the Nazi Party of America. RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Two Days After Riots, Trump Reverses His Stance On Election Loss
The Republican Reich will parrot Trump’s* teleprompter speech and act like everything else never happened. It’s time for Trump* to become Trump** and for him and the rest of the crew to inmates. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Barry McGuire – Eve Of Destruction
Ah… the memories! Again? RESIST!!
Short, sweet Tweet from Hillary (not a video):
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Not a video – but worth seeing.
Rev. Warnock was Congressman John Lewis’s pastor. Ossoff was Lewis’s intern. And somewhere, somehow both near and far, I have to think that Rep. Lewis is saying, “Well done.”

Katie Couric’s personal channel – interview with Mary Trump – who warned us about today and is now warning us again.
long – but profound.
Not actually a video (rather, a podcast) but it’s Al Frenken on electing Presidents.
Beau did an almost-an-hour-and-a-half podcast on the coup (and forgot to set up CC for it,) I’m not going to post anything that long, but here’s the link
The questions being asked were coming in so fast he could not keep up with them, to this podcast is very much less organized than his usual.
Keith – Had he not posted yesterday, I would be worried he had dropped dead.
This will be a short one because I didn’t get yesterday’s posted (clicked the wron button, I guess. I’ll probably make up for it tomorrow.
