Borat, Fall, and Email Scams
I enjoyed the new Borat movie called Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. It is not quite as crass as the original, and it has a sweet father-daughter relationship plot. It rips the top off right-wing American culture so we can see just how gross it is, in case we didn’t know already. I watched it on my Kindle as soon as it was available. But I wanted to see it in all its grandeur on a larger screen. So I headed to our basement where a slightly larger TV screen is available. It was there in our basement where I experienced fall.
Not the season fall, but this kind of fall …

A New Cartoon? (God help us all)
That’s right, from the same mentally unstable creative team that gave you award-losing cartoons such as Mulch Ado About Nothing, Mite Be Funny, and the Pulitzer Prize-ignored Flies On Washington Walls comes a new cartoon called …
Flies On Mike Pence’s Head
Well, that didn’t go as planned. Maybe we’ll give the creative team their meds and rethink this while you enjoy a song.
How Dumb Can Trumpers Be?
One of my neighbors allowed me to plant a nice row of 5 Democratic candidate signs at the back of their property along a main road.
There are 4 signs of very important candidates that we hope will flip our county board Democratic, flip an Illinois House seat Democratic, and retain Democratic control of our House of Representatives seat on the federal level. The least important sign is the Biden/Harris sign in the middle. The Biden/Harris race is OVER in Illinois. They should win Illinois with 65% of the vote.
So, what sign gets stolen by Trumpers? That’s right, the Biden/Harris sign. That race has never really been in doubt in Illinois.
I gladly replaced the Biden sign, hoping the idiot Trumpers take the bait once again and steal the Biden sign while leaving the rest. Don’t let me down, dummies.
Flies On Washington Walls #185 – The Buzz About the VP Debate
Am I the only person surprised that Trump’s Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany didn’t call a press conference to announce that she tested positive for COVID?

Putin Trump in Thoughts & Prayers
I did my best to temper what I said on social media after Trump tested positive for COVID. Please be assured I sent my thoughts and prayers, although I won’t say what I was thinking or praying for.
What really surprised me is this bit of news involving Vladamir Putin …

Happy Birthday, Mr. President
I wanted to acknowledge President Jimmy Carter’s 96th birthday and wish him well. He’s helped construct more meaningful buildings with Habitat for Humanity than Trump has ever contracted to build.
Since allowing a grifter like Trump to occupy the White House for almost 4 years while keeping and profiting off all his business holdings, Republicans should be ashamed that they required Jimmy Carter to divest himself of his beloved peanut farm. But of course, they have no shame. I would be all for contributing to buying Carter a new peanut farm, but I don’t think it is a very appropriate gift for a 96 year old.
Happy Birthday, Mr. President.

I don’t blame Chris Wallace for this debate debacle. I blame the people who sent Chris Wallace out there to moderate without a taser.
Motivation Recalibration
I had slipped into a summer exercise routine that felt as comfortable as my fat pants with the stretch waistband after about 20 wearings without a washing. I would get up early and take a long solo walk or bike ride. Most days I would stop at one of the many wild berry patches I had scouted and pick fresh mulberries, raspberries, or blackberries for my consumption that day. After work, I would walk the dog and swim some laps in our little pool. Then the weather started to change. We had a stretch of rain and cold. No cycling for a week. I took down the pool before it turned into an above ground ice skating rink. So much for my swimming workouts. I immediately started to gain back the weight I had lost. My quest for a 20 lb. weight loss seemed unattainable.
But then, one man inspired and motivated me to try and make that weight loss happen. Who, you ask? I’m pretty sure I heard someone ask. Come on, raise your hand if it was you asking. Nobody, huh? Regardless, that man is …

Every 2 years, signs sprout up in our yard. The crop is good this year.
I couldn’t help but notice that I have unintentionally arranged the signs like a middle school dance – girls on one side and boys on the other. It’s certainly not a special shrine to Joe Biden like the one that I saw when I biked through our old neighborhood.

Overcoming Adversity vs Giant Shit Show
At the Democratic National Convention last week, Joe Biden pulled out the stuttering handicap he overcame for all to see. Apparently, he helps and mentors stutterers he meets in his travels. A young stuttering teen named Brayden spoke on Biden’s behalf at the convention. Here’s the first meeting between Biden & Brayden.
No, I’m not crying. I think I have something in my eye that must have punctured my eyeball and is causing it to ooze.
That’s all well and good, but what about Trump’s handicap? No, not the textbook narcissism. He overcame bone spurs. BONE SPURS! They sound very boney and spurry. But he overcame them so well, that he can now do this …
