14 The painter did another one called "The Long Catnap", and in which two cats were featured feasting on the man's face. That's the difference between dogs and cats.

15 Love the painting. That will be my husband Thursday afternoon, minus the two dogs.

CBD, Trump is going to pardon a damned turkey after all. Sigh.

My fantasy yesterday was:

Trump walks outside, makes a slashing motion across his throat. The WH chef whacks off the turkey's head and carries the fowl inside to prepare for dinner. Barron high-fives his dad, and they join Melania on the WH steps and walk back inside.

End. Scene.

Bonus Cut: Joe Scarborough feverishly writing at new album, "Deplorable."

31 Incredible detail. Look at the woodwork.

Don't like the title. The old man might just be napping. I want to believe the old man has just dozed off.

Odd choice in artwork for the day Charles Manson expires of old age at eighty three. There is no telling what damage that man's poisonous psychopathy has generated over the years he was incarcerated.

35 Oh wow. I don't know this artist or this painting, but I love it.

The dogs are sinewy and real, you can feel yourself petting one, but the top dog's tail is just blurred enough to suggest the movement of wagging.

The one bit of fabric coming loose over the hearth is a nice touch.

And then there's the thing itself, the guy dying in front of the fire and the confusion of the dogs.

Wow, just wow.

43 I really like this one even though the subject matter is sad. The huge variety of brown colors is effective: it shows age and comfort. The dogs are perfect in their detail and demeanor. The one trying to wake the old man with kisses is so poignant and true to life.

I would love to have this on my wall. It is restful and meaningful, at least to me.

49 O, a quick call-back: No, I wouldn't give Barron a gun to take out the turkey.
Here's why, for those of you who will have anti-hunting dicta thrust upon yaz over dinner: you shoot turkeys with a very substantial shotgun, a 12-gauge with 3" magnum shells and a tight pattern of bigger-than-bird shot. That's because the only clean shot on a turkey is to break its neck just below the head. And that is exactly the wrong kind of shotgun for a guy with Barron's build to take a novice shot with. They're known for putting you on your ass.

Although, his brothers are avid hunters, so maybe Barron is already beyond the nasty-shotgun-tricks phase and knows how to pocket the butt and lean in.

Obviously the most dangerous things in hunting are heart attacks, surprise exposure to elements, and falling out of tree stands. When it comes to hunter shooting hunter, the one they like to show in movies, turkey hunting is insanely dangerous compared to big game. It's very...unnatural.

His friend is sitting upright with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Son knocks harder calls out his name, no movement.. (thinks should i break and enter) thinks uh oh, thinks omg, thinks call police? climbs through window. anyway the mentor had died while sitting straight up cigarette in his mouth.

Posted by: Gilbert Luckless at November 20, 2017 09:36 AM (4XCge)

Vincent Bugliosi put forward the real reason for the Tate-LaBianca murders was an attempt by Manson to free his friend/follower/lover Bobby Beausoleil, who was then facing trial for the murder of Gary Hinman, which was in turn likely a hit ordered by Manson because Hinman had sold the Family some bad acid. Beausoleil and two other Manson followers stabbed the guy and painted 'PIG' on the wall with his blood.

Charlie thought two other murders using the same MO would spring Beausoleil. They didn't.

130 About all these sex "scandals" we're hearing about. All I can say is, why is anyone surprised?

What's surprising is that it's taken this long, and there aren't yet more reports. I expect this is going to seep into all areas where men have power, and I suspect we're going to hear plenty more about men we thought were above this sort of thing.

Right now, it's hitting the movie biz, Washington, and it's seeping into the music industry (which I suspect has the worst track record of all).

I start with the premise that where men have power, some will abuse it. And sex is a primary way they will. This is not news.

My suspicion is that we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. For every claim revealed, there will be 10, 100, 1000 never told... I have no idea what the factor is, I just believe it's very high.

I have an uncle who turns 94 in December. He was married for many years to my mother's sister, who died about 11 years ago. He is living in a retirement home, and all of his friends are dead, and he's surrounded by old ladies who can barely function.

My husband and I visited him in FL and took him to lunch, and he's sharp as a tack. Until a few years ago he played golf, but his legs have given out. He is so lonely with his friends all dead, although he has grown children and grandchildren who visit him and bring him to their homes.

He tries to stay busy reading and watching sports on TV. His retirement home believes in mingling barely functioning residents with those who are still active and of sound mind. I think it's a terrible mistake. It's depressing for those who are still doing well.

The doctors and nurses have learned that the kitty is never wrong, and call the families as soon as the cat jumps on the bed and settles down.

Who wasn't the cuddling sort
But when he jumped in
With one ailing and thin
It was time for the coroner's report!

Cats are smarter than people think. We don't get to train them, and that appears to be evidence for some that dogs are smarter.

I don't get that.

It's like the really smart kids in school who get bored easily. The bright, but not too bright are usually the best students.

One of my cats plays fetch. It's so fun, and unlike a dog, you can't fool him by doing the "fake throw" trick. If you motion like you're going to throw, and don't. He looks at you like "nice try, dumbass."

Porn is a bazillion-dollar industry now but the first rule in that business is (and always has been) you don't mess with the product. Any sex going on that is not going on in front of the camera is wasted product, lost money.

Another thing, too: I'm betting they're huge on consent in those circles. Any hint of nonconsensual sex going on in that environment and the studio could conceivably get a trafficking rap.

The porn industry is ran by cold-blooded men in suits. You do not fuck with their money.

When she turned 20 we got her when she was 5 she was very adamant that she wanted a boyfriend and she wanted him right now by laying eggs weekly. As we didn't want to get into the breeding market (an extremely stupid decision in retrospect) we gave her to a breeder.

She had the phone and microwave down pat and when she got bored she would make those sounds and watch us get up to check the microwave or get the phone. And it was hilarious watching her call the dog. She absolutely loved to be cuddled and would let you hold and pet her for hours.

California used the gas chamber back in the day, when Manson was first sentenced. After the death penalty was reinstated, they went to lethal injection.

btw, the gas chamber as designed back then was incredibly dangerous and sloppy way to execute someone--dangerous for guards and those witnessing the execution, as well. One crack in the seal spells a bad day for everyone involved.

Hanging done right, where the neck snaps on the drop, is probably the most humane way to execute a criminal.

245 HI!

What good is answering items in the Morning Report thread when all the commenters have moved on?

First thing I read today is Chuckie Manson is dead again? Can't be sure until the body is burned. In the sun.

In response, cranky old JJ ranted: "About the most I can say is that "peace, love and understanding" is not the legacy of the 60s and the Baby Boom generation. That myth has been exploded..."

<mini-rant ON>
Manson is what the 60s were about! Woodstock was an illusion! Altamont is the truth! Donovan was secretly a terrorist. Hippies = Antifa!

Whhhuut? Yeah, let's boil it all down to one thing so we can dismiss it all. Works for the Left.

My personal takeaway from the 60s was not so myopic or monodimensional. Neither typified by the violence nor the pretentions to utopian ideals, it was ... complicated. So much awful, so much beautiful. However, by every measure, thems wuz certainly interesting times. Consciousness razors.
<mini-rant OFF>

Stay dead, this time, Chuck.

255 My personal takeaway from the 60s was not so myopic or monodimensional. Neither typified by the violence nor the pretentions to utopian ideals, it was ... complicated. So much awful, so much beautiful. However, by every measure, thems wuz certainly interesting times. Consciousness razors.


Agree, but I think what see in Sefton et al is a reaction to the endless romanticization of "the 60's" by the effin idiot media.

Also, the public "face" of any era is very different from the private one and how most people live their lives. That was as true of the 60s as it is today.

270 he's sitting by the fire ... but there is no fire ... only darkness. So he died overnight, the dogs woke up and just found him. That potted plant is brown ... and looks like romaine lettuce leaves on the floor ... not sure what that means.

The dogs would have tugged on that arm, and it would by hanging down limp now maybe, but that would be more morbid, less sleep like.

"Long sleep" ... I suppose the title hints that an awakening comes one day. No indicators that he was met with escort angels taking him to some better dimension ... long sleep means artist believes the dead arise later I guess, "soul sleep"? I prefer to think souls immediately "transport" to a better 'verse in the "multi-verse".

277 The great Van Morrison did a studio version of his "Into the Mystic," in about 1972, he playing his Ovation guitar, accompanied by three skinny guys, one on keys, one on bass, and a drummer.

It's on YouTube, as are other versions of Van doing the tune, but the studio one is my favorite.

When he launches into the line, "I want to rock your gypsy soul," I get tingles every time. No one else can do that line like Van.

I wasted a couple hours on YouTube fast-forwarding through every cover of the song I could find, hoping to see someone else who could do that line with anything near what Van has, but no one came close.

Not to say no one could do it, but just that no one capable of belting out that line with the same power and feeling and vocal tembre has done a cover of it.

Janis Joplin could have. Joe Cocker tried and did not.

Time will tell, but I think the flood is not yet here.

The trickle of individual women coming forward, accusing men in power of sexual abuse... the flood is coming.

There won't be anywhere it won't hit.

People don't have to like it, but there it is. Men in power use their power, and sex is one of the driving forces in their lives. Not all men in power, of course, but there will be many many many more exposed, and for each one exposed, some exponential number whose stories are never told. For a variety of reasons.

I for one don't care about the political fallout, or even the legal fallout. I think it's high time we, as a species, stop letting men get away with this.

And if anyone doesn't like me laying this at the feet of men, tough. That's where it belongs.

It's yet another tactic employed to work against the death penalty. And to pretend that they are morally superior. Note that those screaming the loudest do nothing for victims, other than the mantra of 'move over it and get on with it'.

340 The trickle of individual women coming forward, accusing men in power of sexual abuse... the flood is coming.

There won't be anywhere it won't hit.


My concern is that there's this effort to portray every misdeed as being sexual harassment and molestation.

George Bush the elder patting women on the rear end is not the same as Spacey or Weinstein or Wiener. We need some sort of standards here, not just "guy did something nasty." Failing to differentiate diminishes real sexual assault and dilutes the stories until they start to seem a bit ridiculous.

If every woman who ever got a smack on the rear end accuses the man of sexual molestation, we're going to see millions of them, and it loses its meaning.

345 "I think the founders idea was to avoid drawing and quartering or the brazen bull. "

The English, like most people who let their minds wander, appeared to enjoy coming up with inventively grotesque means of punishment and death. One that they reserved for mutineers, and which was used widely in India after the Great Uprising was put down, was to take a man and strap him across the front of a cannon. Then of course, fire the cannon with all of the other prisoners watching.

353 Nursing house cat

When you get old and tired, and life is too much, you want it over. And the cat comes and sits with you to be your spirit guide through the transistion to the afterlife.

In moments of despair, you begin to think that there is nothing after death. But you don't want to believe that you only live once because that excuses all kinds of bad behavior, and you want some reward for years of good behavior and forgiveness for your mistakes.

Or maybe the cat really is the devil's familiar and enjoys watching death take you. Maybe it likes the smell of it, or the sudden activity, the wailing of grief stricken relatives, the tears, the theater.

Well, I'm not too excited that the Me Too brigade is appearing.
It's rather awkward to immediately jump on the Al Franken should step down because someone appears out of nowhere to accuse him train and then try to defend Roy Moore from the exact same situation .

Speaking of this , Little Marco was on F&F this morning talking about how a working family of four making $40,000 a year should be receiving additional payroll tax relief even though they pay no income tax. On and on , then he was asked about Franken( "he has been referred to the Senate Ethics committee and they will research more into this") and then was asked about Roy Moore.

Put on a very solemn face, dropped his voice down low, and said that these accusations are very bad, the women have very credible stories and even if Moore gets elected, he will end up in the Senate Ethics committee and it's going to be a real issue.

_________________

B.S.

All the allegations against Moore are from decades ago.

So even if they're true, and that's a big "if," the Senate has no power to do anything to him. He wasn't a Senator at the time, so he didn't violate any of their rules. And the women involved didn't bother to come forward with their allegations within the statute of limitations period, so he can't be charged either criminally or civilly (as in a lawsuit) now.

Except there's only one with a credible story, and she's shown a troubled tendency to accuse multiple men of sexual misconduct. Either she's singularly unlucky, or something is not quite right with her stories. Its not impossible that she was repeatedly misused, it happens. But each new accusation without proof brings greater skepticism.

The other stories are either "we dated and he was a gentleman" or "he slapped my rear end but never another girl in his life, when I was 20" or "Gloria Allred helped me create this story and I forged my yearbook"

I disagree here. The families left behind usually continue to suffer the loss and knowledge of how their loved ones passed.

The victims in Boston were still losing limbs when Rolling Stone did a rock star cover of their assailant.

Which is why I only mentioned the victims.

Their suffering is over. I don't think you and I are disagreeing at all.

417 "362 And if anyone doesn't like me laying this at the feet of men, tough. That's where it belongs. "

Well, lets just look at all the old stereotypes, and why they came into being. Stereotype - men are domineering thugs and rapists, because they have physical strength. Women are liars and cheats and thieves, because they don't.

A fact of life that Christianity (along with others) has attempted to teach for 2000 years now - ALL men (and women) are fallen creatures capable of and tending towards all manner of evil, self centered behavior, and only with a focus on God, a humbling of self, and through those, a dedication to true service to others can one make steps towards being what we would call a "good" person.

Men and women acting selfishly and abusing others is just them doing what has always come naturally. Reaching higher means constantly striving to be more than just a clever animal.

421 Who says there is a widespread man-problem ... besides you ?

I think men in modern society in general are failing in their duty to man up, to take responsibility, to protect, to provide, and to build. Not all men, obviously, but too many and as a general rule in modern western culture. Pajama boys, perpetual adolescents, lazy, irresponsible, afraid to take responsibility, letting things pass that should be acted on, failing to take leadership, etc. I think that much is fairly obvious.

As badly as women behave in modern society, men are as bad at the very least. In general, not universal and in every instance (he said, in a statement that shouldn't need to be said because its so obvious but you have to online).

Women were supposed to be the civilizing influence on men. Since we now have several generations of women who have the approval to behave like feral cats , its no wonder men are confused as to what their behavior should consist of.

Thank goodness. The saturation coverage of the leak in SD might have derailed it (how conveeeeenient) -- like using the railroads to transport massive amounts of fuel. Pipeline seems to me safer and more responsible.

Rght Burt ... because to call bullshit on your claim means I must be a predator.

Because hell ... there is just no way you are wrong. Said it before ... saying it again ... will say it untl I die.

There is much less difference in the goals and tactics between many of you and many on the Left than you would like to believe.

427 Pajama boys, perpetual adolescents, lazy, irresponsible, afraid to take responsibility, letting things pass that should be acted on, failing to take leadership, etc.

It's the bad part of some men that today's "popular culture" dwells on. Just look at the Boob Toob these days. Guys are all shown as being bumbling, immature alcoholics with perpetual erections who can't do anything of value for anyone.

As much as I loathe the idea of electronic programming, I'm convinced we wouldn't have so many problems of this sort if men were shown to be intelligent, kind and caring on the telly. It's already happening anyway.

Posted by: BackwardsBoy at November 20, 2017 11:43 AM (tRaq7)

428 I'm sure Burt has flounced off by now, but I want to address this 'at the feet of men' business. ScoggDog expressed my views in brief.

I don't like making policy decisions based on generalizations. Generalizations have their place, letting us talk about complex issues without spending 15 minutes clearing our throats.

Each person is responsible for THEIR actions and only theirs. Each man is responsible for his actions and shouldn't be tarred with the brush of 'all men'. Same with women.

Blame belongs with those who did the deed, not with those with similar skin color, chromosomes or nationality.

It's the perpetual adolescents that act, think and dress like they are teenagers even in their 50s and 60s. Sorry but a baseball cap on backwards, shorts and flip flops shouldn't be go every where wear including church. And for the love of God they need to take their damn caps off in a restaurant.
