GEORGIA – Now This News – Ossoff on Climate

Meidas Touch – Parody of Queen “Somebody to Love”

Kaavan is flapping his ears! That’s a sign of a happy elephant. Also his tail. Wonderful. (short version, then long version with more detail)

Beau – “I’m looking at you, Georgia.”

Now This News – Bickering Trees

Old – very old – Irish Christmas carol. “The Wexford Carol”

Georgia – Meidas Touch

GEORGIA – Liberal Redneck (and friend)

TFT/PP REVISED (original deemed “offensive”)

Rachel: Not strictly a Friday News Dump, because it’s mostly interpretation. Also long (9+ min.) But – ummm – kind of important.

Parody from someone called EDJITPROP

I’ve been hoping Beau would do one with a “flipped patch” – on his hat, the “Curious George” hat is upside down. He does this when he is speaking as a MAGAt to flag that it is satire. You might call it his “sarcasm font.” (The speech is the one which Nameless featured)

Meidas Touch – GEORGIA

Now This News – not my Senator Udall, whom Corey Gardner cheated to defeat, but is cousin in New Mexico (who is planning to retire, sadly.

The Lincoln Project – GEORGIA

Parody Project/The Freedom Toast

A commercial from the Norwegian Postal Service showing – well, you’ll see (hanky alert for laughter)

GEORGIA – Jon Ossoff

GEORGIA – anti-Perdue truth

Now This News – Should be comforting. (And you can cut it off just before the 3 minute mark.)

The Lincoln project – GEORGIA !! Good perspective.

Seven plus minutes (good CC though) – if you skip it I’ll understand, but I always want to hear anything that Bryan Stevenson has to say.

Hamilton parody

GEORGIA – Jon Ossoff

Now This News – Another virus warning from anoher health professional.

The Lincoln Project

There is CC to this, but it only seems to hear the music, not the words, so it’s not helpful. This is not a full transcript, but – “I don’t need no other words to this song – Trump is gone.”

I actually think it’s a good sign that CoViD has replaced Trump as the main target of satire – and news too – (NSFW though)

H/T Our Mitch on this parody

Beau on Rosa Parks

GEORGIA – Jon Ossoff on NBC

GEORGIA – Meidas Touch – “Senator … Perdue walked off campaign bus with unidentified woman” Looks like maybe a mothingburger, but Meidas Touch seems to think it’s something.

Really American – Credit where credit is due

I hope this can scare some people who need scaring.

Trumpty Dumpty Cycle episode 2 – Alan Alda, Annette Bening, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep

Meidas Touch – GEORGIA

Both Fox News and Kelly Loeffler have now threatened to sue us for this ad so I guess we are doing something right pic.twitter.com/KRPZd3cBhE

Jon Ossoff – The cafe was a vegan cafe, and Perdue ran a smear ad (apparently Perdue thinks not eating meat is socialist?) which kind of blew up in his face.

Founders Sing – GEORGIA! (A real peach of a parody.)

Trumpty Dumpty Cycle Episode 1 – This just doesn’t get old.

Henri le Chat Noir from Hallowe’en

And now for something completely different

It’s another crazy day here in the CatBox. I’m eating well. This morning I cooked hamburgers and scrambled eggs. The last time I texted was Nameless was yesterday afternoon. He was home enjoying Nike’s company. This afternoon WWWendy is coming a day early to destink the and help cook, because of her work schedule. Tomorrow Dianna is coming to change my patch, and Wednesday Molly is coming to check my back support. Oh God, its Monday!

Short Takes:

From The Conversation: Conservatives tend to see expert evidence and personal experience as more equally legitimate than liberals, who put a lot more weight on the scientific perspective, according to our new study published in the journal Political Psychology.

Our findings add nuance to a common claim that conservatives want to hear “both sides” of arguments, even for settled science that’s not really up for debate.

We asked 913 American adults to read an excerpt from an article debunking a common misconception, such as the existence of “lucky streaks” in games of chance. The article quoted a scientist explaining why people hold the misconception – for instance, people tend to see patterns in random data. The article also included a dissenting voice that drew from personal experience – such as someone claiming to have seen lucky streaks firsthand.

Click through for much more info. I think the reason for that is that anecdotes tend to invoke responses from desires and fears, while scientific evidence invokes responses from reason. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Parody Project Channel)(H/T Squatch for the reminder): FIFTY WAYS TO LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE

Amen Don! But all 50 come down to one thing. FLUSH!! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast against the Republican Reich): Dear Mr. President

This song was written for Crawford Caligula, Fuhrer of the Fourth Reich. Just because Trump*, Fuhrer of the Fifth Reich is infinitely worse than Busk was, we must remember that the traits that made Trump* so hateful, were Republican traits long before Trump came. All those traits will still be Republican traits after Trump* is gone. RESIST!!

64 Days Until the Big FLUSH!!
