Me on the Weekend

Mr. Clinton Watts

Consumer Report style rating system for Fake News is a great idea. We should do that right now.

"Americans should be concerned because right now a foreign country...is pitting them against their neighbor."  -Clinton Watts

And even though Senator James Lankford stands for everything I do not, his voice is amazing and he made me tear up when he said it was "painful to watch the Russian people trapped in a regime that is doing this worldwide."  Seriously..how does he have this voice?!
Also I love Dr. Roy Godson.  And his voice, too, for that matter.  It reminds me of these cartoon characters:

Kaa

Winnie the Pooh

Roquefort

Cheshire Cat


Sterling Holloway Jr's voice again, narrating one of my favorite books!

Come on News

Lately, after I drop my daughter off at school, I tap my radio power button and sing "Tell me something good" in my best Chaka Khan.  Yes, my dial is stuck on NPR.



And then I do a little Rufus cuz it makes me feel better when I learn that Trump is still in the White House.

Bravo, True Russians, Bravo

Wow.  You are a strong people.  Thank you for taking risks and standing up for your wonderful, mysterious country.  I applaud the protesters.  Keep going and stay safe!  Much love.

From NPR:
We saw 2,000, I think, turn up in - the reports were of 2,000 turning up in Novosibirsk in Siberia. We had 10,000 in St. Petersburg. The estimates here in Moscow are about 20,000. And of course, we saw arrests across the country as well. 

Mr. Medvedev used charities and NGOs to collect donations from tycoons and state banks and used all these funds to buy all these expensive assets, things like yachts, a vineyard, luxury mansions. And it even included a separate house on one estate for a collection of pet ducks. So it was a colorful report, and it's taken off online. It says something like 13 million views at last time I checked. 

From NYTimes:
99 similar rallies in cities and towns across the country — from Vladivostok in the far east to Kaliningrad in the west 

The protests in Russia on Sunday...were the largest coordinated display of public dissatisfaction since anti-Kremlin demonstrations in 2011 and 2012, after an election that was tainted by fraud


May you have a bi-coloured-python-rock snake to help you out of the crocodiles teeth.

Forget cloud 9, we are in cloud 12!  The BBC reports there are now 12 new kinds of clouds!  Citizen scientists from the Cloud Appreciation Society, which I really want to join, have championed the asperatus into being recognized and the International Cloud Atlas officially accepted.  Another one of the clouds is actually considered a new "species" of cloud!  They are called volutus clouds and they resemble a giant roll.

Wait there's more!  The atlas is now online!

Clouds are gathering as I type, I don't think they are any of the new ones.  There's a bit of a mix, but I think they are all cumulus clouds.

Here's the list of our new clouds:
Volutus
Asperatus (citizen scientist campaigned)
flammagenitus (triggered by wildfires)
cataractagenitus (developed by waterfall spray)
cavum (giant hole in cloud)
murus (wall-like)
cauda (tail-like)
fluctus (surfing-wave)
Homogenitus (contrails)
Homomutatus (contrails or other human made clouds that mutate into other clouds)
flumen (beaver's tail)
Silvagenitus (formed by humidity from biota)

Putin voted in US elections

So, Putin is doing a poor job at making Trump look prophetic (pathetic).  Trump is probably right about the undocumented votes because they are probably Putin hackers running up the tally.  I knew I sounded crazy after the election, but my gut told me that the votes were incorrect.  Putin's cyber warfare made it's move.  Now it's our turn.  Putin your bravado is not macho.  Your immaturity is stuck in a pre-pubescent John Wayne era.  It was never real, just like the generation before me found out and the generation before that never did.  You won't reach your ultimate goal due to your glastnost.  You won't be a Hero of Our Time. I'd say peace, but you have no peace.  I feel for the Russian people under your childish thumb.  May they one day rise up and defeat you.  Peace to our Russian earth family.  Much love.

From Time Magazine article Mar 22 2017:

Time: One of my ideas here is that throughout the campaign and now as president, you have used disputed statements, this is one of them that is disputed, the claim that three million undocumented people voted in the election…
DT: Well I think I will be proved right about that too. .....

DT: Well now if you take a look at the votes, when I say that, I mean mostly they register wrong, in other words, for the votes, they register incorrectly, and/or illegally. And they then vote. You have tremendous numbers of people. In fact I’m forming a committee on it.
Time: But there’s no evidence that 3 million people voted with…
DT: We’ll see after the committee. I have people say it was more than that. We will see after we have. But there will be, we are forming a committee. And we are going to do a study on it, a very serious problem.

Alexandra Chalupa Facebook post Nov 9 2016:

1) Russians have heavily influenced this election for the past six months and have successfully hacked into the election systems of more than half the states in the country;

2) Major public polls and the Clinton campaign's internal polls were historically off the mark, and in the campaign's case, didn't match the voter file records, which is unheard of to this level. This is especially odd considering that Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook is one the most brilliant in politics when it comes to micro-targeting and voter analysis. Even GOP strategist and pollster Frank Luntz called the 2016 exit polls “the worst and least accurate we’ve ever seen,” in a Tweet sent on election night.

3) Homeland Security/DOJ teamed up with a group that is part of Anonymous based in Washington, D.C. called “The Protectors.” This group saw a lot of activity during Election Day from the Russians and believe that the voting results projected don’t match the internal and public polls because the voting results were manufactured in favor of Trump in heavily Republican counties in key states, and voting results may have been decreased for Clinton in key Democratic counties via malware that was placed by the Russians when they hacked the election systems of more than half our states.

4) Trump/Manafort set-up the “rigged election” narrative months ago preparing for exactly this scenario. This is straight out of Manafort’s playbook, and Putin’s, too — accuse the other side of doing what you’re doing so that you cannot be accused of doing it. There is no short supply of examples of this: Putin regularly accuses the US of meddling in Russia’s affairs when he annexed Crimea, invaded east Ukraine, and holds sham elections in Russia.

5) Kellyanne Conway, an expert conservative pollster, was selected as Trump’s campaign manager when Paul Manafort took too much heat about his Russian’s connections and “resigned” (though he has likely continued to be involved behind the scenes and continues to have a residence in Trump Towers), and Conway helped lead messaging that polls were all wrong and that Trump has “shadow supporters,” a term that mainstream journalists echoed as the election results began to favor Trump.

6) Paul Manafort, who has heavy ties to the Kremlin, is being federally investigated for his work in Ukraine, was virtually silent since resigning from Trump’s campaign a few months ago, but sent his first tweet since resigning last week saying that by the Sunday before the election Trump would have the 270 votes needed to win (despite internal and public polls saying otherwise).

Higgins did NOT have a Hitler moustache....I could've sworn...

Every day is like survival..survival....

a feel-i-i-i-i-i-i,ing

What do you do with the mad that you feel?

What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong...
And nothing you do seems very right?

What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?

It's great to be able to stop
When you've planned a thing that's wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:

I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there's something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.

Happy Birthday Dani

Nearly 10 years since you left us.  You would've joined me in our 4th decade today. Love xoxo

Today

HBD, MG!

Wishing well

In coming days, expect to hear about communications between Roger Stone (Trump advisor) and Guccifer 2.0 (Russian hackers who hit the DNC).

Slowly...Surely... A wishing well of crocodile cheers


Meanwhile, maybe this explains all the hot Trump chicks on Twitter and Facebook.  How many fake accounts are on social media that support DT?

Cheers to Women!
