  1. while i’m mulling over the many options… how ’bout an encore of

    This dude is coming at me
    I just smile and let him be
    The dude brought his own rope
    He put the bullet in the gun so
    I’m just gonna shimmy

    Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy
    HRC
    Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy
    Hillary

    He just keeps on shouting, “Wrong!”
    So I’ll get my Jim Halpert on
    He is a flightless bird
    I think I’ll never say another word
    I’ll just be singing this song

  2. renee, pbs newshour did a segment on the senate race in your neck of the woods.  the link has the video and the transcript if you’re interested in what the ladies and your fellow granite statershad to say who were interviewed at a fair (was this the one where you exhibit your beautiful scarves?).

  3. huffpo: Hillary Clinton-Inspired Flash Mob Is Pro-Pantsuit, Anti-Donald Trump

    A flash mob of pantsuit-clad dancers took over New York City’s Union Square Park in Manhattan on Sunday to pay homage to Clinton. More than 100 dancers donned suits in a rainbow of colors as they rocked out to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop The Feeling.”

     

    And what feeling can the dancers not stop, you might ask? Organizers said it’s the sense of pride they feel for Clinton and the revulsion they have for her GOP opponent, Donald Trump.

     

    The open invitation for the “Pantsuit Power Dance” included a line from The Guardian opinion writer Lindy West: “If we care about our future as a non-blown-up planet, it’s time to stop treating the Democratic candidate as if she’s barely better than a literal white supremacist.”

     

    A Facebook post from the flash mob co-organizer expressed similar views: “We are looking for … all those fun folks who don’t want to see this country ruled under Donald.”

  4. Well for all of us who have been “Waiting for Hillary” and think all of you foot draggers are more than a little slow on the uptake now that it’s time to put a great woman in office.

  5. I’ll get back to you on Hillary’s song,  but for drumpf,  Helter Skelter has to be it.

  7. Petty…American Girl lyrics

     

    “American Girl”
    Well, she was an American girlRaised on promisesShe couldn’t help thinkin’That there was a little more to life somewhere elseAfter all it was a great big worldWith lots of places to run toAnd if she had to die tryin’She had one little promise she was gonna keepO yeah, all rightTake it easy, babyMake it last all nightShe was an American girlWell it was kind of cold that night,She stood alone on her balconyYeah, she could hear the cars roll by,Out on 441 like waves crashin’ on the beachAnd for one desperate momentThere he crept back in her memoryGod it’s so painful when something that’s so closeIs still so far out of reachO yeah, all rightTake it easy, babyMake it last all nightShe was an American girl

  10. patd…   I recognize that it’s in Portsmouth…  that’s a fair I never did.  And I didn’t do one this year…  I retired from doing fairs last year.  Gives me more time to do stuff with my retired hubby.  Like today (which is our anniversary)…  we are leaving in a few hours to go to our favorite beach in Maine, Ogunquit, for a few days.  Wanna see another show at the playhouse.  I’ll be back Friday.  Taking our mini iPad…  so you might hear from me.

    It’ll be interesting to see what songs everyone comes up with….    me…  I have to get packing.

  12. I’m thinking Pat Benatar.  “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

    Well you’re a real tough cookie with a long history
    Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
    That’s okay, let’s see how you do it
    Put up you dukes, let’s get down to it

    Hit me with your best shot
    Why don’t you hit me with your best shot
    Hit me with your best shot
    Fire away

    You come on with it, come on
    You don’t fight fair
    That’s okay, see if I care
    Knock me down, it’s all in vain
    I get right back on my feet again

    Hit me with your best shot
    Why don’t you hit me with your best shot
    Hit me with your best shot
    Fire away

    I kinda like it.

  13. Alternate “This Land Is Your Land” with “Fanfare For The Common Man.”

    Interestingly Woody Guthrie’s original lyrics to “This Land” included this:

    There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me

    The sign was painted, said Private Property

    But on the backside it didn’t say nothing

    This land was made for you and me.

     

  15. I wonder how much Roger Stone paid the NJ bomber? He didn’t give enough to Julian and Hillary won’t be finished tomorrow but hopefully Roger Stone will be, in a world of disgusting he is among the most disgusting.

  18. Well, the super-duper bargain that I couldn’t refuse just arrived at the front door. It’s a new curved screen 4k Samsung with all the initials. I hope the damned thing will fit in the teevee room–it will replace an older 47-inch LG. I refuse to have a teevee in the family room competing with the fireplace–public radio and good music provides all the supporting ambience that is needed.

  19. for everyone who said they would leave if Clinton got elected….may I help you pack?

  23. Flatus, I’ve looked at those curved screen HDTVs and as my eyes get worse they look better and better to me.

  24. Ayotte said “I think that certainly there are many role models that we have, and I believe he can serve as president,” of Donald J. Trump during a debate with her Democratic challenger, Gov. Maggie Hassan.

     

    Can someone interpret that gibberish for me?  That’s supposed to be an acknowledgement of him as a role model?

  25. Lyric learning time:
    Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
    Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
    Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation
    In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.

    Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
    This you will do, that’s our strong, firm belief.
    Hail to the one we selected as commander,
    Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!

  26. Enjoying the music picks, I prefer the hard chargin rally songs like Benatar. In defense of my Petty pick, Sturg, my guess is he appeals to the white college-educated boomers she needs to keep working on.

    Re: Hail To The Chief — I hope Hillary Clinton brings that back, don’t understand why it fell so out of fashion

  27. Ruffles and Flourishes leading to the beginning of Hail to the Chief are a big deal. But, custom also dictates that the music be immediately followed by a 21-gun salute. That could be annoying after awhile. But, since she Will be CinC, and Pershing’s Own will be under her control, the cannons shall be waived for non-ceremonial occasions of state.

     

  28. No matter the song pick, I feel sorry for the Staff & Media Members who would be subjected to it. Every Rally. Every time.

     

  29. Pogo, my eyes are shot. I’m hoping the 65-inch curve will work out. Consumer Reports says that good views can be had from most reasonable points along the curve; but that the optimum viewing point is head on into it and about 9-feet away if all the initials are in operation which will probably be rarely. Fingers are crossed.

  30. There’s one way to get the votes for Mrs C — Declare that on the first day she will appoint Mrs Obama Attorney General.

  37. flatus, that thought occurred to me too…  most probably are still inhabited and maybe subdivided into mini-condos by now.

  38. garrison Keillor

    The question that has never been asked is this: Why has Trump never shown his belly-button? Does he have an umbilicus or not? Why the secrecy? Could it be that he was one of those early test-tube humanoid babies bred in a Monsanto laboratory in Las Cruces in 1946 under contract to the Pentagon, which hoped to create a cadre of bogeymen who would walk straight into heavy gunfire, grinning, thumbs-up, and thereby dishearten the enemy? They had realistic skin and hair but their eyes were small and piggish and their fingers short. Mr. Trump has taken heavy fire for the past year and there isn’t a scratch on him. Lift up your shirt, sir, and let us see it.

  43. Once all the dancing ends and she and Bill are all tucked in back at the White House … There is always tomorrow

  46. Once against Katie Tur even if he hadn’t insulted women – his childcare policy is bullshit

    Only a 1.5 points behind in Ohio.
    Why is fat liar Sara Huckabee still on tv

  48. us inclusively diverse along with Hillary if she wins and maybe even critterville singing with a sigh of relief…..  see if you can recognize some of them

  49. Coastal evacuations ordered in SC Schools in Columbia closed until next week. Still 2200 homeless in local area after last year’s incredible rainfall. Still remember staying in penthouse in Miami as Hurricane Andrew approached. We beat it across the everglades.

    STURG you can come here for shelter if you don’t have a better offer

    Filled-up w/propane for the grill and generator. Rosie’s tank is full as well. All weapons are clean and have plenty of ammo.

  50. Yep, Flatus, you and Sturg keep your heads down if the hurricane models hold as they are now.  Could be in for a wild ride.

  51. whoever this conservative woman is on mtp she is liar about healthcare she is making claims about health care and the poor simply not true

    aggressively stupid

    Ohio is blue
