NAUTS, this is from 2017...

Can't be denied..."Republicans need to acknowledge an uncomfortable truth: Their party supported and still supports Trump, who feeds the monster of white resentment and who focuses their anger, fear and frustration on minorities."

AND IT HAS ONLY BECOME WORSE.

WOW...

When I type bigly on my computer keyboard, the screen shows up as

BIGOT!

On a day when we celebrate @Minholkin birthday, a special
#pups4peace for today...

HOW 'BOUT US, HOW 'BOUT US BABY

Nutter: Ken-Dogger, Some people are made for each other
Butter: Ken-Dogger, Some people are made for another for life, how 'bout us
Ken-Dogger: Some people can hold it together
Last through all kinds of weather, tell me, can we?
Nutter: KD, Just takes love dude, just takes love...

(Homage to Champaign's How 'Bout Us)

A Little Self-History Tidbit...

Saw Crazy Rich Asians w/ the Mikster, go see it, very good movie...

Screenplay by Peter Chiarelli who is the namesake son of the 1st General I worked for when I returned to Active Duty after 9/11.

GEN Chiarelli went on to become the 1st Cav Div Commander and was made more famous by Martha Radditz in her book, The Long Road Home.

GEN Chiarelli ended up as Vice Chief of Staff of the Army.

His son also did the screenplay for The Proposal...

Resurfacing and asserting this initiative again...

NEW PROPOSAL FOR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS...

Just have the candidates walk around in a petting zoo, see which animals gravitate to which candidate and then choose the one who is most loved by animals...

Perhaps our truest test yet

AND THE DOGGIES SAID: WAY

...AND I SAID: ONLY WAY

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Morning Guys
Guys: (Continue tugging on rope)
KD: You two are going to wear yourselves out.
Brucie: Well, would you tell Lucie to let it go?
Lucie: Well, would you tell Brucie to let it go?
KD: So, I’ll be Solomon, I’ll tear it in half…
Guys: NOOOOO, we don’t want half, we want all…
KD: Then you’ll need to learn how to play together.
Guys: Only way we get all?
KD: Only way…

The US GOP...The Slickest of the Slick in Campaigning and Skullduggery...

It is truly special when you see they boxed themselves into a corner and now find themselves in a circle.

ON this date in 1877 - Thomas Edison wrote to the president of the Telegraph Company in Pittsburgh and stated that the word, "hello" would be a more appropriate greeting than "ahoy" when answering the telephone.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were bummed, they had submitted "What up Dog" as the more appropriate greeting...

Like always, it took society a few years to catch up to the Boyz.

The Boyz left town quickly as they did not want to be the first to have this contraption tested.

That honor went to Mr. Hanchett and he screamed in such pain and jumped out of the chair and hence, 'Where's Waldo' was started.

2/2

ON this date in 1848 - The dental chair was patented by M. Waldo Hanchett.

Local builders Bun Man and Mr. Purple had worked tirelessly for 5 weeks to finalize production.

The chair was modeled after some middle age torture chairs which the Boyz had researched as they felt this was the closest to giving dentists the leverage necessary to inflict the most pain possible.

ON A DAY OF REMINDERS...

A Reminder that the STANDARD has been set.

The intellectual virtues may seem elitist, but once a country tolerates dishonesty, incuriosity and intellectual laziness, then everything else falls apart."

2/2

Remembering a great piece from David Brooks in 2017...

From David Brooks' NYT op-ed today...“I’m beginning to think the whole depressing spectacle of this moment — the Trump presidency and beyond — is caused by a breakdown of intellectual virtue, a breakdown in America’s ability to face evidence objectively, to pay due respect to reality, to deal with complex and unpleasant truths.

REMEMBERING WHEN OMAROSA HAD THE TAPES...

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Tres, why are you laughin' so much this morning, what could be that funny?

Tres: Dude, she has tapes, the Big O has tapes...

KD: Apparently their security isn't what it used to be...

Tres: No, actually, it's their mouths...they ain't what they used to be...

INTERESTINGLY, WE'RE HEADED TO VEGAS LATER TODAY...

And a top of the late morning to you all,

#pups4peace

Ken-Dogger: Hey Bella
Bella: Finally, thought you guys were sleepin’ forever.
KD: Well, when you return from Vegas at 6 in the morning…
B: Bro, what took so long?
KD: Ever hear of Frontier?
B: The Navy’s airline…It’s not an airline, it’s an adventure.
KD: Yep, something like that…
Anyway, peeps are here and safe, all good.

Hollywood couple trivia

Last weekend, married couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds starred in films that ranked No. 1 and No. 2 at the box office, the first time that’s happened in 34 years.

Which Hollywood couple went No. 1 and No. 2 in 1990?

Hint: One of the movies was Ghost.
