cats, god bless their little hearts and wild ways!
am here today typing one-handed one finger at a time because of a cat collision. actually it was a 3 point collision of bodhi, bu and you know who colliding yesterday. down I went butt first simultaneously slowing the descent by conking head on woodstove and banging hand on hard floor. too late to seek medical help being the weekend but looks like a bad wrist sprain, not a fracture, so iced and immobilized it. will call doc on Monday if still in pain. better to suffer today & tomorrow of soreness than risk exposure to virus at UrgentCare and be worse off.
WTF…. has this blog now become high school… hey you young whippersnapper freshman, don’t you dare challenge that there senior! I’ve been here longer than most of you… and I don’t think it gives me special privileges… although I will admit there’s been times when I wanted to offer Nash some cheese with his whine. He’d probably just snub his nose at my plebeian offerings though.
RR, I’m of the opinion that it’s fine, in fact the purpose of the blog, to challenge the opinions of anyone and have our own opinions challenged. Put it out there, it’s fair game. Like I said about Nash, I may not agree with his opinions these days but in my mind he’s got cred, no matter how idiotic his opinions. (ducks).
patD – Hope it’s nothing. Grandpa used to give cats a gentle “ride” on his work boot. He’s pick them up on his foot and gently set them aside when they came to him or startled making an infinity sign around his legs.
Orange Julius needs to make sure there is no interruption to filling his hole with Big Macs.
Now, it’s not just the animals who suffer and die. It’s the humans, too. So much cheaper to make burgers from brown rice and beans. For pre-made, Amy’s California veggie burger is the best, IMO, but homemade are cheaper.
This is Chunky being explorer kitty. She will not leave the back deck, no grass shall touch her paws. Her coat changes depending on the light. Here she is grey. Other pics she is orange. Others tortoises.
We only have downstairs staff – canine only – at our estate. That would be Livvy. And appears that Livvys only tasks are to dispose of food, but only if I prepared it, and to deposit Hair throughout the first floor.

This another reason the economy will continue to suffer: reducing hourly wages and salaries to preserve capital. This is what I am hoping doesn’t happen to me when I’m called back, but my boss expects it will happen. Less money in pockets, means even less consumer confidence. The dominoes of capitalism will continue to fall if Republicans don’t wake up and realize that the roots must be watered for the tree to grow.
Make sure Trump actually releases those NDAs, first. I wouldn’t trust him to hold them back. What happened with E Jean Carroll’s DNA request from Trump to prove her claim against him?
craig, quid pro quo (you can see mine if I can see yours) was my first thought too when the drums began to beat for joe to open all records — well, maybe my 2nd since 1st was really that it was obvious he was being set up for a major hack by putin’s peeps.
this would be a good time for lizzie to make same request to Trump as she did to Bloomberg about granting a peek at his sexual harassment NDAs and freedom to signers thereof to speak out.
from the hill back in february: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former Vice President Joe Biden hit Mike Bloomberg after the former New York City mayor said he would release three women from nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) with him if they asked. Warren said the effort is “just not enough” and that he should release every woman with whom he has an NDA. […] Biden echoed Warren’s call, saying that transparency was needed over reports that Bloomberg oversaw a hostile work environment at Bloomberg LP, his company. “Horror stories abound in the public record about the culture at Bloomberg LP under Mayor Bloomberg’s leadership, as do deeply concerning accounts of his own statements toward women employees there,” said Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s campaign manager. “Today’s release essentially tells the public nothing — we don’t know how many women signed these NDAs, what percentage of NDAs this represents, or what categories of signed NDAs… Read more »
Since Reade, however, has expressed her adoration of Pooh-tin, should someone look into her possible ties with Russia? Her story smells like borscht and Russian-backed BS.
The Biden accuser is a liar whose story keeps amping up to reach a level where it attracts media attention
She never filed a complaint but now people will claim. Biden had it destroyef
It’s a lose lose for Biden The answer is finding out who is egging her on
I notice fox is using a photo of her from 30 years ago
“The Hill” is reporting that some Democrats in Congress are quietly talking about who could replace Biden as the nominee if he drops out of the race. Cuomo is mentioned, along with a “Hillary and Obama” ticket (with Obama as the VP). The reason this talk is going on is that there is now concern that Biden may not be able to beat Trump, regardless of what the current polls say. In addition to the unfolding Tara Reade scandal, there is concern about Biden’s mental acuity. There is a suspicion, based on some of his recent rambling comments, that he may have some degree of age-related dementia.
By the way, my birth certificate proves that I was born in Kenya.
I don’t know if y’all are watch Call To Unite (live streaming at unite.us) but watching W’s piece makes me think it would be better if even he were still prez, despite the heckuva-job-Brownie thing.
The incompetence coupled with the lack of empathy from the Trump admin and his Russian-supported, Republican backers is absolutely despicable.
From one of Nash’s comments last night. The University of Delaware, which has all of Biden’s Senate office records, is refusing to allow anyone access to them. If Tara Reade filed a sexual abuse complaint against Biden, this is where it would be.These are public records and this is a cover-up. Excuse the eye roll but this is just total nonsense. 1. If she filed a complaint it would be where she filed it!!! She didn’t file it at his office, jeez, are we getting this stupid? 2, No they aren’t public records, those are kept at the national archive. *sigh* I think the most interesting thing about Nash’s comment is how we are getting cross pollination from the right wing to the left wing. I noticed it the other day with some of BiD’s comments about covid-19 and China. It is not by accident, we are again seeing the… Read more »
This morning the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels flew over on their way to Baltimore. They stayed either at Andrews AFB or Patuaxtent NAS last night. Even though Annapolis is on the way to Baltimore I knew they would fly overhead of the Naval Academy alma mater to most of the Navy pilots. It was the first time I saw both in formation together.
About those fly overs, they have to fly over somewhere as they have a certain number of hours in the air on a regular basis.
We had some WWII fighters fly over and release smoke. They were saluting the VA hospital but they were a bit north east so they saluted me instead.

(CNN)Most Floridians hitting the newly reopened beaches are trading stay-at-home sweatpants for shorts and swimsuits. But when he heads out, Daniel Uhlfelder dons a raggedy black robe, conceals his face with a black cloth and wields his scythe. Uhlfelder, an attorney, is haunting Florida beaches dressed as the Grim Reaper to protest their reopening, which he believes is premature. It’s a macabre plea to beachgoers to stay home. Uhlfelder is a staunch advocate for public beach access in the state, even butting heads with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose Florida Panhandle home is parked on a private beach. But allowing anyone on the beach during the pandemic is a mistake, he said — one that could endanger the community. “We aren’t at the point now where we have enough testing, enough data, enough preparation for what’s going to be coming to our state from all over the world from… Read more »
BB, thanks for the AP article, where it says that Biden has ask the national archives and the Senate to search for any records. So as that is where any such complaint would be…… Nash, it looks like he beat you to it.
BTW before you can demand his personal Senate records you first have to prove there was something in the records.
The Tara Reade story is about one thing: ditching Biden for Bernie, and if it doesn’t happen, damaging Biden enough to re-elect Trump. All told, it’s a huge gift to Trump — and Putin.
Apparently reade has confessed that she didn’t report in ’93. So, we are left with a tale that wasn’t reported at the time and that is evolving as we speak.
I wonder if a man in a trench coat leaves tins of genuine beluga caviar on a park bench whenever reade goes for a stroll there. Inquiring people want to know.
Billy Jeff Clinton. They could not make him lose—no matter what they pulled on him, not to mention what he pulled on himself. Since he could not be made to lose he wound up in a position to win once Perot started gnawing on Big Bush ass. And he won because they couldn’t make him lose. Tooth and nail
looking deep into my eyes.. you’re getting sleepy….sleepy
now, when I start to purr, go to fridge. open door. pull out leftover grilled garlic salmon. put in cat dish.
yummm
about all the hype insisting on seeing joe’s files at Delaware U, remember the 33,000 HRC email hack request? same gambit. same perps.
they’re looking for negative ad fodder like they did with the DNC trove they hacked and used over and over in 2016
merely a search & destroy mission, not a search for truth

As with all great homes, we have upstairs/downstairs staff

They require passports to be sniffed to enter foreign territory for any reason.

Biden could always offer to release University of Delaware records if Trump releases all Non-Disclosure Agreements with his accusers.

Couldn’t ask more of Joe. He’s being upfront about this, and, he was vetted before Obama asked him to be VP.
Since Reade, however, has expressed her adoration of Pooh-tin, should someone look into her possible ties with Russia? Her story smells like borscht and Russian-backed BS.

Maybe Biden will pick bernie! to be the veep. That’d foil the 2%ers. snicker
Billy Jeff Clinton. They could not make him lose—no matter what they pulled on him, not to mention what he pulled on himself.

lol so Nash is at the center of a perceived blog drama and his contribution within that is, dah tah dah: more Biden slander!

so the sun is fully in the sky and the moon is opposing it, high in the sky, also, and yet, the moon is at half-phase. Pretty cool illusion.
