Celebratory images from the New York Times

Just someone’s personal share of celebration

Happy days are here again/The skies above are clear again/So let’s sing a song of cheer again/Happy days are here again/Altogether shout it now/There’s no one Who can doubt it now/So let’s tell the world about it now/Happy days are here again/Your cares and troubles are gone/There’ll be no more from now on/From now on/Happy days are here again/The skies above are clear again/So, let’s sing a song of cheer again/Happy days Are here again!

As always, CC enabled where available, noted where not

Monologue (“Down for the Count”)

Tristan Harris – The End of Free Choice – a documentary (with some reenactments) on the dangers of social media)

New Rule – Rodeo and Juliet – IMO oversimplification. The video from Beau yesterday is far more constructive.

(Overtime? No CC) A stalker in the White House

It’s a worry and pray day, here in the CatBox. The day for which we have waited for years has finally arrived, and I am witnessing the most important US election of my lifetime, if not of this nation’s history. Molly, a physical therapist from Providence is coming to evaluate me this morning. We want to see of there is a brace I can wear to reduce the pressure on my spine, when I’m sitting on my power chair in the hope that doing so will receive my pain level. This morning my Republicosis was under control for the first time in quite a while. I suspect this may be a prophetic message. If God has controlled my shit, perhaps she may be controlling America’s shit, the Republican Reich, too. What I do tomorrow may depend on what happens today. Tuesday is flush your Republicans day. Do it nationally!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:38 (average 6:02). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Cartoon:

This is an old one. To bring it up to date, we need to add the swastika and the Russian flag.

Trump* Virus Update:

I understand that Trump* Virus voted at multiple locations this morning to express their appreciation of criminal Fuhrer Trump* for supplying them with hundreds of thousands of victims to murder.

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: Donald J. Trump has ordered the Attorney General, Bill Barr, to investigate widespread reports that women are voting.

Trump said that he had evidence that women were casting ballots in the tens of millions, a scandal that he called “bigger than Watergate.”

“We’re not going to let this happen in our country,” he said. “We’re moving quite strongly and quite powerfully on the women.”

Dang, Andy! How ridiculous. According to Barrf, for women to vote is appropriate in a Republican Reich, as long as she is Republican, shoeless, expectant, and obedient to both her owner and to her Fuhrer*. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): A Last Word on the 2020 Election

Pray that the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, and that the American people put the Reich on the Right, the deplorable Republican Reich, out of business permanently! It that does not happen, and if you are US citizen and don’t vote, it’s YOUR fault! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from Pat): Cher – Happiness Is Just a Thing Called Joe

Amen to that! Thanks Pat! RESIST!!

And for the Last Time…

Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom!!

It’s a spooky day here in the CatBox. The Republicosis still plagues me, but I have it under control. Tomorrow is a WWWendy day day. Then she is going to the coast until Thursday. She needs a vacation. Tomorrow is also a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My Broncos play the Chargers, but it won’t be televised locally. In honor of the day, Boo2U2!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:21 (average 5:01). To do it, click here. How did you too?

Cartoon:

Trump* Virus Update:

This map measures daily deaths per capita

US Cases: 9,324,833
US Deaths: 235,264
Plus all Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: Democratic voters are anxiously awaiting Election Day in the hope that Democratic candidates and activists will finally stop texting them, a new poll shows.

In conversations with Democratic voters across the country, “No longer being texted by Democrats” has emerged as one of the most important issues to them in the 2020 campaign.

Dang, Andy! That isn’t satire; it’s gospel! If I had a nickel for every text, email, and/or phone call I’ve received from an organization dunning me that the future of our nation depends solely on my donation to that organization, I could damn near pay off the national debt! RESIST!!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Take Heart That Americans Still Believe In Democracy; Early Vote Numbers Prove It

I trust that you won’t mind if I pray like hell that Rachel is right. The early voting numbers are the best cause for hope I have seen! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): Fleetwood Mac – The Chain (Official Audio)

Ah… the memories! We’ve been so long under a Republican Reich we nees some beauty in our lives. RESIST!!

Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom!!
