Family/Fantasy Fridays: Herman The Rookie (The Munsters, 1965)

 From season 1 of The Munsters:

Leo Durocher appears as himself in this entry. Trying to teach Eddie how to hit, Herman (Fred Gwynne) hits a ball that goes 8 blocks from the community park to downtown, where it hits Durocher in the head. Durocher needs a power hitter, and he may have just found one in "Herman The Rookie". Directed by Jerry Paris (The Dick Van Dyke Show).

More examples of GOP stupidity

 Today, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to human rights lawyer Navi Pillay of South Africa. A certain sore loser in Washington was making last minute appeals to be given the prize, but, of course, came up short. If only because he was lying about his accomplishments......

"WAAAAHHH! I ended 8 wars! I am a hero! WAAAAAHHH!"

No, you're not, and never have been, Orange Pinocchio. You haven't stopped anything in terms of wars. The only stop you've made of late, aside from your lame-ass rallies, is at the nearest McDonald's for 6 double cheeseburgers.

The man doesn't get it, and doesn't want to get it. His ego & megalomania get in the way of reality, creating an ongoing delusional quasi-reality where he's beloved, if only by the voices in his head.

We're also learning that the Department of Injustice, under Todd "Bleached" Blanche, wants to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on (false) charges of perjury before Congress after she testified four years ago. Another vindictive, petty, improper prosecution that won't go anywhere. Should the Democrats sweep Congress next month, color Blanche gone via impeachment.

The Democrats are already talking impeachment as it relates to Defenseless Secretary Pete Hegseth. Better Petey Eggs gets taken down before they even think about going after Orange Pinocchio again.

Petey Eggs, though, announced that the Pentagon will livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood a while back. He is set to be executed via firing squad on December 3.

Why a livestream? Not so much for people's morbid curiosity, but as a show of the administration's so-called "strength". I wouldn't be surprised if Hasan's lawyers make an appeal before December 3. Hegseth and the rest of the idiot squad want to scare anyone out of trying anything like Hasan, but this is the wrong way to go about it.

I'd sooner trust the next generation of Marx Brothers to lead the country instead of these clowns.

Musical Interlude: The Ghost in You (1984)

 England's Psychadelic Furs missed the Top 40 with 1984's "The Ghost in You". No supernatural elements in the lyrics, so it's not classified as "Spook Rock".

Weasel of The Week: John Doe

 This morning, the Yankees are packing up their gear and heading home after losing their ALDS to Tampa Bay, 3 games to 0, following a 4-3 loss Wednesday night. 

But, who's to blame? The Yankee offense finally showed up, and kept pace with the Rays.

As we're about to see, however, some dimbulb ruined the game for the Bombers. Brian Anderson & Jeff Francoeur on the call.

I get it. This clown wanted the ball in the worst way, but he should've kept his hands behind the boundary, and let it come to him. He exacerbated the situation by taunting Tampa left fielder Victor Mesa, Jr., who had homered earlier to put the Rays up for good, before celebrating with a friend.

30 years ago, Jeffrey Maier got away with one, in effect screwing over Baltimore. There've been others since, most infamously Steve Bartman in Chicago in 2003. Let the ball come to you. Don't reach out.  Unfortunately, too many of these folks disregard common sense, and our anonymous Weasel may find himself locked out of Yankee Stadium next year and beyond.

Tampa Bay, a 4-3 winner, awaits the winner of the Cleveland-Chicago White Sox series, which the Pale Hose lead, 2-1, heading into tonight's game (8 pm, TBS, HBO Max).

There's no more trying to hide it. Donald Trump has lost his mind

 You've heard about the Cornell rape case by now, how 7 students, two of whom have since been expelled, had gang raped a young woman. The victim went to university administration, which did exactly nothing.

Earlier this week, Gov. Kathy Hochul named AG Letitia James as a special prosecutor for the case. That set off alarm bells in the tiny mind of president Trump, who is whining that the perps won't get a fair shake with James.

Oh, really? Just because she nailed your sorry butt, doesn't mean she would win this case. You're already tainting the jury pool with your useless meddling & whining.

Farron Cousins sounds off on Orange Beavis' latest tantrum.......

This, on top of remarks made in Nebraska on Monday, where Trump insinuated he would let Iran bomb Los Angeles & San Diego, remarks the administration is trying to spin as a morbid joke. Trump wouldn't know a punchline from a serving line at Denny's.

The man is 80 years of age. Men at that age sometimes say things they would regret because they're not in total control of their cognitive functions. For Trump, it's just another day. And that's a mistake, too.

Now the president wants the media.......arrested? This, and other stupid ideas.....

 Donald John Pinocchio Trump is 80 years old, and it is showing. His marks don't care, because they're too far gone into the delusion of his being a tough "leader".

No rational man of his age would say this, though......

Trump is referring to a rally at a high school gym in Ohio where there were legitimately plenty of empty seats, but he claimed people were moving from the balcony to the floor or something along those lines. He just can't accept the fact that people are tired of his rhetoric and his act. He's the one lying, not the New York Times and other media outlets. Trump thinks he's popular, but his "popularity" is fading. And it's his own fault.

Oh, but that ain't all.

Monday brought reports that the Dept. of Injustice, under Todd "Bleached" Blanche, wants to reopen the Watergate case, because a former prosecutor now claims the then-DOJ committed misconduct.

Now, that's going waaaaaaaaaaay too far. And this snipe hunt ain't going anywhere.

For Trump to demand the "arrest" of media outlets prompts those same outlets and others to make comparisons to Hitler-era Germany. The reality is you have an 80 year old egomaniac who has lost his mind, and no one is willing to try to steer him back to reality. This is why people are demanding that the entire administration needs to be replaced.

Worse, Trump plans to be in Syracuse to campaign for one of his dittoheads, Bruce Blakeman.

Bellevue will be waiting.

The philosophy of politicians explained......by the Addams Family (1964)

 From season 1 of The Addams Family:

Gomez (John Astin) throws his support behind a city council candidate. He also shows Morticia (Carolyn Jones) how the family has had a history of supporting losing candidates. Pay attention to what he says about politicians, who say one thing, and do another. Kind of like today's GOP.....
