Syrian rebels have entered Aleppo

Fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the city, and the local university has also been captured. Assad’s army is offering little resistance. The rebels have a strong chance of taking Syria’s largest city.

According to unconfirmed reports, government forces have been ordered to retreat from the city to avoid encirclement.

There's a Great Horned Owl living in the conservation land next to my place. Can hear him hooting away some nights.

Couple of years ago I was out in the backyard and saw he was sitting in a dead tree that borders my property. Crows were squawking away and trying to get him to leave. He just sat there like a statute. Then I noticed he had a chipmunk in one of talons. I took Elvis inside.

Alexander Vindman has accused Elon Musk of divulging state secrets to Vladimir Putin, and that the real reason he supports Trump is because Putin ordered him to do so.

Elon Musk @elonmusk Nov 27 Replying to @CatchUpFeed
Vindman is on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs and has committed treason against the United States, for which he will pay the appropriate penalty

Ian Miles Cheong @stillgray Nov 27 Replying to @elonmusk @CatchUpFeed
He certainly lied a lot about Trump during his depositions. You are indeed correct that he is on Ukraine’s payroll and he doesn’t even try to hide it.

I believe the insinuation is that V-man, while wearing a US uniform, was taking money from the Ukraine and serving Ukrainian interests , not American. Now since they weren’t a declared enemy at the time, I doubt that meets the legal definition of treason, but it’s certainly a betrayal of his oath.

Pray for the safety of Elon, though, if you haven't already been doing so. I know that a lot of leftists really can't like him because he has supported Trump.

139 Blue Oyster Cult Had to Ban Cowbells From Shows After ‘SNL’ Skit

The sketch, which aired on April 8, 2000, starred Will Ferrell as fictional band member Gene Frenkle and Christopher Walken as producer Bruce Dickinson. Ferrell, dressed in a ridiculously tight and low-cut shirt, plays the cowbell so aggressively while recording "Reaper" that he distracts and infuriates his bandmates. Walken, however, is obsessed with capturing more of the "dynamite sound," famously declaring, "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!"

The "More Cowbell" sketch was so popular that it even forced Blue Oyster Cult to retroactively add cowbell to live performances of their hit song. "For 20-odd years, we didn’t use a live cowbell for our shows and never considered it," Dharma explained. "We had to play the cowbell because there was just no getting away from it. I’m grateful that as significant as the sketch is — because after 25 years, it still is — it didn’t kill the song, its original intent, or its original mood. It’s still used as a cue in horror movies when you want that mysterious and metaphysically uneasy vibe.
