Barkeeper's Friend - heh. Used it for ages. Welcome to the club.

HEY! Hi. I'm home alone.

Well, I'm not home at the moment, but I'm left "back home."

Just me.

Me and the dog.

And the usual six cats.

Annnd another littlest old ladycat who is most unhappy about not being at her usual residence.

Milady Webworker, Daughter, and Local Son are on their way to a family reunion in CHICAGO. THE HEART OF THE BEAST IN WARTIME! (Wait a minute while I tighten the mylar on the cowboy hat.) I told them to keep the gas tank filled, plan multiple exit routes, and if anything happened, transmit it immediately before they confiscate your cells.

And those are just the usual travel tips.

More currently, the Caliphate has overtaken our capital, setting their captains free, handing our borders over to their drug cartel allies; threats are multiple, imminent, and powerful. Plus, Friday the 13th and a Full Moon.

So return to Oklahoma once your assignment of infiltration is complete, I told them, while I am left here to hold down the fort. That was not an easy choice.

Friday the 13th is the only part I'm kidding about. It's my lucky day. All the other stuff, true facts.

Discussed my son's bearing arms into the lands of the enemy hostiles and the wildlings: talked about legality as one thing, hasslefactor as another. What do you think he should have done? I know. I'm not saying.

Seriously, it's only four days. What can go ...

Ha-ha! Whew! Almost said it.

Chrissy, I had been about to praise your cartooning skills, when I thought, oh, no, wait, wait, that caricature of the traitor in chief, with those ears on his neck, looks like Ramirez’ work.

Seriously, regret calling you on a poster again. (And, Ramirez is an unmistakable style!) Know you have no violatin’ intent.

But.. reminds me of a story (whips out grampaw hat and worn corncob pipe)… I was “complimented” by having a cartoon of mine from the high school paper lifted and re-captioned by another school paper. Forty-five years ago,., the heady days when my work was popular.

Speaking of cartoons, are the smilies-images on WordPress now too big for anyone else? I’m on Windows, running Opera browser, and the smilies all recently became too big for their boxes, by about 200%. (If you’re not seeing it, this must sound pretty strange.)

President Dumbshit should stop and think, it only takes a few crazy people coming across our border with a few "dirty bombs" that can cost this country dearly. And he WILL be blamed. There will not be enough cover for you, Barry.

If you were running a RoP terrorist organization, wouldn't right now be a great time to move some of your worst actors into the country at the southern border? Teach a few words of Spanish and load 'em up on one of the buses.

666 Thank you Barack Obama for opening your borders so boldly that my friends the cartels control access.

Thank you Barack Obama for letting my minions free to perpetrate my will again.

There is no connection between these two things.

None.

What. So. Ever.

Look! Squirrel video!

The horrifying graphic you’ve used, often labeled as Stevens, is not Stevens, but from an earlier incident with someone else, if I recall correctly. Been a while since I almost used it myself, but scoped it out first.

O/T but..

Well, good grief, as Charlie Brown used to say. WordPress just sent me a note in the last five minutes that it’s been three years since I signed up for a WordPress account. IIRC, the reason I got a WordPress account was PoliNation. My first comment (per my records) was 2011 Jun 7.

Close enough.

“I’m usually way more careful” – and you do great work! I was just thinking yesterday how your graphics can be so powerfully informative, and should get wider distribution.

I like what you did changing the graphic. Nothing published on the web gets erased, and removing things can get weird and seem like lying or hiding. Much better a corrected graphic than one that seems to vanish down the rabbit hole (like LaughingStock Media when they accidentally publish a fact).

If you haven’t seen it yet, YouTube: Stunned cable news anchors react to Eric Cantor primary defeat.

It ends with someone talking about a “Tea Party victory.” Um. Not really, from what I read.

Ting: not a drop of rain, or even a cloud in Richmond
Chrissy: Voter turnout was 28% HIGHER

Don’t cloud the narrative with facts! It was the rain, the Dukes of Hazard, hanging chads, a nineteen-minute gap, and BUUUUSSSSHHH! Could not be… voters.

I interrupt my reading of the post content to ask...

"I can only imagine the struggle Obama, a man of people of color, must have felt as he authorized that trade. He was betraying himself - the black part of himself - while simultaneously affirming the privilege and power structures inherent in the white part of himself.

...this is really not the work of our own Dorcas Blumline or Mary Cloggenstein? Parody starves to death.

Evening, folks. Had a meeting of my fam at my mom's... and I survived. Family: an excuse to argue...

NB, I'm in the cell on a limited data plan with a fringing connection, also no hover reveal of link URLs, so, very conservative on clicking links:

Ouch.

"If you are a person of faith it's helpful to memorize Scripture so that you have it on hand and in heart when things are stressful." -FenelonSpoke

Like reciting Psalms from the cross?

In some broadcast dramatization back in the '70s, Jesus on the cross cries out, My God, why have You forsaken me? Cut to a Jewish leader who mocks Jesus' faithlessness, but Caiaphas or somebody corrects him that Jesus is reciting scripture. I always appreciated that they tipped in that nice bit of exposition for a scripturally ignorant tv audience.

"Helpful to memorize..." indeed.

"Nip Slip, Consider a Trust...." -Grampa Jimbo

The Wisdom of Grampa Jimbo!

"Go the other way and shower them with kindness and whatever help you can afford. They'll come around and you will feel better."

The Liberal theory. Because that works so well with the FSA.

Gotta bathe, suddenly.

Cynically, I favor the snarky note left in the Will, which should have for inheritance only Debt. Been thinking about that this morning, for my three....

May the Spirit of Truth bless your relationship with your son, NipSip. And our whole world.

Mindful Webworker,
Thank you for link. I have it open on my Mac right now.

THE ENEMY IS RUNNING AMERICA.

ENABLERS OF OUR WORST DECLARED ENEMIES ARE IN CHARGE.

The furriner dumping is coming to Ft. Sill. Haven't heard Gov. Fallin has done anything.

STATES! MAN UP! THE FED IS AT WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES! HELL, OTHER STATES ARE ON THEIR SIDE. HOW HOT DOES THE WAR HAVE TO GET BEFORE YOU FEEL THE HEAT?

Oh, sorry. The caps lock on my cell keeps getting stuck.

HOW LONG, O LORD?

oh, yeah...

Morning, Glories. Have a nice day KNOWING MORE 9/11s ARE COMING, GUARANTEED BY THE STUTTERING CLUSTERFLUKE OF A MISERABLE FAILURE AND HIS SUPPORTERS AND FOLLOWERS.

Saluting Muldoon's recitation of a classic as I head out the door.

Hey, Carol? Hope you're around and catch this.

I've had a tab open on the desktop for... quite a while. I know you said you weren't interested in this, so I won't mention it again after this, but I looked at http://www.nucca.org/ and came up with Dr. Chris Dawson, a NUCCA specialist in Portsmouth, NH, which if my googlemapfu is good is sorta-near where I heard a rumor you are.

Do you need it? Hellifiknow, of course. Is this guy any good like our guy? Hellifiknow, again. Whatever, God bless you with health in body and spirit. There you go, my duty done, I can finally close that tab. As soon as this posts.

Good night again, Gracies.

How to Stop Being Duped by BuzzFeed, Upworthy, & Other Headline Clickbaiters

Hahahaha. You almost got me. I actually had the cursor over the link when I thought, wait a minute....

Annnd, congratulations to tangonine, Ricardo Kill, AllenG, artisanal 'ette, Carol, Nevergiveup, RWC, Anna Puma, Flatbush Joe, and Nip Sip, also thanks for keeping the rest of us out of the top ten!!

And for the most-masked list, I'll bet I posted at least 25 variations on my nick over the week. Variable IP for the win again (I think).

Gonna go watch some last year's Warehouse 13.

Good night, Gracies.
