Dianny had some good pix of Vogue contributor Lynn Yaeger in her very best "bag lady" attire.
Pete: "I can’t decide whether she’s the Queen of Hearts from Johnny Depp's Alice in Wonderland or the result of a bizarre genetic experiment gone horribly wrong."
I'm pretty sure, in the film Men in Black, when they were showing a montage of pictures of all the extraterrestrials hiding as humans on earth, that Yaeger's image was up on the board.
Finally finished reading the whole thing + comments. Pete, nice work.
"Abracadabra" got a chuckle from me! Nice closer.
I try to keep up with PoliNation every day. I read widely and frequently have caught items before finding them here, but there's always something new in Pete's news. Also, of course, there's Pete's inspiring commentary, whether uplifting praise, as for the good workers in the Houston disaster, or withering condemnation, as of the wretches and roaches.
Donald Trump calls Chelsea Manning ‘he’
OUTRAGEOUS! That’s it! I’m finished with President mophead. Do you know in California you can face prison time for not using someone’s preferred pronouns? Impeach Trump!
My preferred pronoun is Btfsplk – just so you know.
FreeLiveFree asked, "Have you ever done a Badger cover?"
I knew he had, but then I checked the tags list (left column) and no Badger. Did a word search on the page. The trick is, he's filed under "The" along with several other "The..." characters.
Why libraries use the "Badger, The" form. :D
On the one hand-- Laugh-out-loud hilarious cover.
On the other hand, I'm not sure Cherry wouldn't be more likely to open that towel and smile about it.
I don't often comment, but do enjoy the covers every day.
I do believe the "tweet" at http://iotwreport.com/nice-try-losers/ is fake (I couldn't find it in Trumps twitter account), but it's funny.

Regular reader, rare commenter - keep on keepin' on, Di!
BTW, tech note: maybe it's just me, but on PatriotRetort, links inside blockquotes are the same color as the background. I have to highlight the link to see what it says.
Al is wrong (again)
This headline is #FakeNews misleading propaganda!
It leaves open for inference that Al was ever not wrong.
It ought to be,
Al is wrong (still)!
;)
Bluebird, Ting, Pete, chrissy, you are the best folks.
Grandson born 11:30pm CDST last day of July. Mom & baby doing well.
Exploding candy cigars for everybody!
You know, ultrasounds take all the fun out of the Big Reveal at birth. "It's a boy!" "Yeah, we already knew that!" Our firstborn never had an ultrasound. With the twins, we saw there were two, but we didn't know two what until they were born.
Realized today, we're going to have to toddler-proof our house before long. Better get started now!
Hope y’all will excuse an off-topic comment.
My daughter-in-law is, right now, being induced (or do we say the baby is being induced?). This is my son and DiL’s first, and will be (God willing) the first living grandchild for Milady and me. Those of you who do that prayer thing, welcome to send some for the baby, mom, and even dad.
I got stuck on the first one, pondering…
…which came first, the phillips head screw or the phillips head screwdriver?
That stuff’ll drive you crazy!
Thanks for the laughs, BoB.
Didn't catch the beginning of Trump's speech to the Boy Scouts, but I caught a good portion of it, live.
Parents, Boy Scout members, and scoutmasters were equally livid about the event.
Yeah. Sure. Those whiners quoted above are welcome to their - undoubtedly extreme-minority - opinions. 39,900 Scouts might not agree.
I'll admit, I also thought that he kind-of wandered into politics too deeply. (Well, he did have 45 minutes to fill!) Nothing wrong with the MAGA part, but recalling election night and deriding Hillary and Obama seemed out of place. (Except for mentioning Obama never coming to the Jamborees - who could resist that zinger!) But he brought it all back to America's appreciation of Scouts, and the importance of Scouting values. It was, as Rush said this morning, The Donald being The Donald.
If Obama had attended, I'm sure his speech would have been clean, articulate, with nice pants creases, and absolutely nothing political.
The Scouts seemed to appreciate all of it, and Trump was reveling in it, always amusing to see.
Hey, the pic from Weasel Zippers didn't show up. They don't let you hot-link. You've got to download a pic to your computer and upload it to WordPress, or something (don't ask me how, I don't have a WP blog). I looked for vid of the Dems booing the Scouts in 2000, but I couldn't find any.
Pete: They’re making a big deal out of the fact he’s pro abortion,anti gun and pro illegal immigration.
I read, somewhere, Scaramucci was supposed to have said he has "evolved" on certain issues. Uh-huh. We'll see. Heard a bit of him with Hannity today, and it seems t'me that Scaramucci, like Trump, would be uninterested in what the FakeNewsies might make of his old tweets.
As Milady, looking at the post over my shoulder, just said, he seems like the kind of guy Trump needs. No nonsense. And he seems to be a real Trump man. Stop-a yer leaking, people, or we' gonna break some thumbs! I think he said something like that.
Biology a "right wing pseudo science."
I know, right? I mean, it's like that weird cult of people who "reason."
Never heard of this Zac Petkanas, but he sounds like a real winner.
Maybe "senior adviser" is like how they say, "having a senior moment"?
Bluebird is still gone? I don't think I can handle the withdrawals. How 'bout you? Here's some "while the bluebird's away" tide-me-overs.
Posted as links - I hope this means this comment won't get spam-filed.
Friday Dance (warning: partial nudity) :)
Caturday funny with bonus dancing (obnoxious but mercifully short music track)
Some not-so-beautiful music for a Sunday morning (warning: my work)
Heck, this stuff is easy.
Orrr... maybe Bluebird just makes it seem easy. :D

It's 100℉-plus here. Too hot to think clearly.
Almost like it was mid-July in Oklahoma or something.
(Few things will get me fondly recalling my days Up North, but this would be a nice time to take a drive to Door County - and listen to the locals gripe about the 76℉ heat!)

It's just kinda funny that merely seeing Clayton and Jay in a commercial can make me all happy, and not a little nostalgic of course. Moore always played it straight! I liked the way the Ranger waved off the snacks, but Tonto starts stuffing his pouch with them (Tonto always complained that the Ranger never thought about where the next meal was coming from. "Silver bullets don't grow on trees, kimo sabe!")
Were any other folks in that commercial celebs I was supposed to recognize? I didn't.

New slogans for the Democrats? "We're not the other guys" wasn't good enough?
How about, "We'll say we'll do what Trump is already doing because that's what you want, but we can't admit it!"
Too wordy? Howzabout,
"Vote for the Swamp"
Pelosi giggles through question about N Korea
Curiosity forced myself to watch this clip a few times.
It looks like to me that Pelosi was so moved by the topic she'd been discussing (kids & the arts) that she was getting, shall we say, misty-eyed. She's not so much giggling at the question as trying to pretend she's not so moved, choking up a little, even blinking back tears, as she attempts to segue into the unrelated next question.
I can sympathize (somewhat, even for her) with being caught in an emotional "moment." It can be a little weird to be so moved by your own words, but if it's something you're sincerely feeling, it can happen. (I've never done any public speaking, but I can relate - for example, don't get me talking about Jesus!)
Could be she was just emotional. Could be she's drunk or on medication. Could be she's drain bamaged. In any case, it's clear from many recent instances that she's losing it, and I hope someone gently helps her off the public stage soon. For all our sakes.
Seems an odd post to make that comment (Lipton's). Random drive-by? Troll-bot?
It is always amusing when certain folks attempt to lecture Christians on how "Christian" they should be. As chrissy's comment suggests, they speak from an ill-informed idea of Christianity. Possibly picked up from the Unitarians. ;)
In that painting chrissy posted, I like the way the various other folks are sprawled and toppled, all leaning away from Jesus in the center. I especially like the guy awkwardly crummpled on his face on the steps.
Honestly, I suspect things didn't go down quite like that. The Gospel accounts vary from one another in details, even the synoptics. All agree the temple courtyard got cleared out, though!
