More Pardons
Trump pardons more people. Bold faced names incude Manafort, Stone and Jared Kushner's dad.
Well, I guess Hitler does have my ass, since I have not read a paper, nor watched TV, nor gone on line (much!) since November 6th.
However! Thinking tonight about First Ladies I admire.
This one goes out to The Captain:

Running The Double-Reverse
Two Republicans initially voted AGAINST certifying the controversial election tallies in Wayne County, Michigan. This would have kept Detroit-area votes off the board and created a narrow pathway to a Trump victory in MI. Wild, right? Under enormous pressure (presumably including death threats) ...
Belay that last post.
Can't figure out how to get the Brigette Bardot version of this wonderful song to post, but, believe me, it's worth the search!

What did I see last night? Brady and the Bucs were ghastly. OH, YEAH: Very encouraging news on the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine trials: Pfizer, BioNTech say Covid vaccine is more than 90% effective—‘great day for science and humanity’ The Stalemate Rally continues! Dow futures surge more than 1,700 p...

Hey JOM confreres! Checking in -- since this is my only news source. And! Listening to Simone Dinnerstein and ... others whom I won't reveal because I'm just too damn emotionally fragile to be reviled by my musical superiors. Yet, who can resist "Je t'aime" in any iteration or "Coming Home Baby by Mel Torme? Not me.
A bientot Amis.

Well, gosh guys, thanks for mocking my REM post!!! :-(
East Hampton erupted into a madhouse of cheers and honking and other aggressive unpleasantness when Biden was declared Prez by our media overlords.
My only news source is dipping in here every 12 hours. Otherwise, we are on total blackout. Harry has retreated to reading about WW ll and Nazis (his default comfort zone), while I have thrust myself headlong into Star Trek fan fiction. Chacon a son gout!
It's really crummy living in a blue hell.

Years ago, sports writer Ray Robinson was co-authoring a bio of Tim McCarver, the Cardinal's former catcher. McCarver was covering the 86 World Series, and Robinson was in the broadcasting booth with him. Things looked terrible for the Mets and Robinson had totally given up, moaning and conceding defeat. When the Mets pulled it out, McCarver turned to Robinson and said, "Hitler would have had your ass."
Know this is true, because Robinson called my husband the next day and said, "Do you think that was anti-semitic?" (Robinson is Jewish.)
Anyway, "Hitler would have had your ass," is a catch-phrase in our house for premature, hand-wringing negativity.
Today's my birthday and I'm NOT giving Hitler my ass!

Interesting 2016 Vibe Developing
The Biden Blowout seems to be off the menu. The NY Times is NOT doing their National Needle, which freaked out Democrats in 2016 as it swung inexorably from a 90% chance for Hillary to a 100% chance for Trump. This year there are too many problems due to huge absentee voting. However, they have ...
@Jack 3:42. "But any parade from Seaford to Montauk is a fool's errand."
Happened two weeks ago, Jack, and went right past our house. It was fantastic and lasted several hours. The freak-out was high in East Hampton. Letter-writers to The Star quivering with rage. Loved every minute of it!

Europe is headed back into the COVID tumbler despite a dearth of Texans, Floridians and MAGA hats. Lockdown fatigue, over-optimism and mask skepticism seem to have international appeal.

It's not so much that the contestant didn't know/consider Ginsburg. But the "withdrawn for smoking marijuana" clue made the Pope an unlikely candidate.
Well, maybe not!!
And, in fairness, the clue may have been worded: "His candidacy went up in smoke." Didn't say black smoke!

Trump is pretty sick, or maybe he isn't. Not a lot of clarity here.
NB: The Jeopardy category was : "Guys Named Doug." Which makes the answer even more appalling. Not as appalling, I guess, if the category had been, "Ginsburgs."

@ Jimmy 4:05
Have you seen the caliber of the latest Jeopardy contestants? A couple of weeks ago (the category was something like, "Things That Fail") a double jeopardy contestant was asked this question (paraphrase): He was forced to give up his 1987 nomination when it was revealed he had smoked marijuana.
The contestant's answer? "The Pope."

Noting your restraint, Captain, and while I don't want to reignite the great C-Word flame-thrower of a few months ago, there are times I feel that epithet is richly deserved.
