A Greek philosopher said a long time ago that all mothers should teach their children that they could die the very next day.

Centuries later, a Western author-intellectual opined that everyone should have a bedroom window facing a cemetery.

And of course, there's this -- the title courtesy of a somber poem.

**** Drained Reflecting Pool Reveals Tire Tracks, No "350-Foot Gash" ****

North Korean currency does not have Kim Jong-un's face on it, the USSR never had Josef Stalin on its currency, Benito Mussolini didn't either, and a Japanese Emperor never appeared on their currency.

British monarchs have appeared on coins for over 1,000 years -- starting with "Alfred the Great" -- the only British king to have that honorific -- and on Bank of England banknotes only since 1960.

Check your purse or piggy bank.

Lindsey Graham was a few dress sizes too big to borrow from Darline's closet, but her wardrobe will make it to Capitol Hill posthumusly ahead of him.

Useless Angus King (I-VT) speaks up -- now.

Look at this dinosuar's voting record and comments since Dummkopf Trumpf seized power on 20 Jan 2025.

"ICE IDF Kills Another Working Man in a Car"

Young master James Talarico (D-TX): "It's the top versus the bottom."

The wicked mind goeth where no man pursueth.

One website shows US Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has a net worth of $8m.

When this fossil finally retires, he will collect a maximum annual pension of about $154,720. His spouse would be entitled to a survivor annuity worth 55% of his earned benefit, or roughly $85,096 per year.

Pretty rewarding for spending a lifetime being an enemy of progress, justice, and prosperity for poor people.

And this dinosaur will never live long enough to spend it all.

Republicans Reid Rasner and Bill Pulte, separated at birth:

The widely despised acting DNI mega-oligarch Bill Pulte has already purged scores of USIC employees, people with families to raise, mortgages to pay, school loans to reimburse, and expensive health insurance plans they have to buy now.

Below, the Antichrist in the White House is receiving silent succor from his devoted supplicants.

*** 60 Ethiopian Migrants on Death Row in Saudi Prisons for Drug Offenses ***

"There is a clear pattern of Saudi authorities targeting vulnerable migrants. Often, their true crime' appears to have been crossing the border, in search of a better life.

A total of 356 people were executed in Saudi Arabia last year, the highest number in recent history. Of those, 240 had been convicted of drug offenses, most of them foreigners.

This is not justice: it is state violence, inflicted on defenseless people."

~snip~

Decapitation is the method of execution in Saudi Arabia.

At least 262 members of the press have been killed by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) in Gaza and Lebanon since 7 Oct 2023.

Unmarried people understand Singularity quite well.

On Election Day Tuesday 3 Nov 1992, Bill Clinton won the White House with a plurality, not a majority of the vote. And with an abysmal 58.1% turnout of eligible voters.

Bill Clinton (D): 43.0%

Incumbent POTUS George H.W. Bush (R): 37.5%

Third Party Ross Perot (I): 18.9%

More people voted against Bill Clinton, than for him.

2025: "James Carville called Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral primary victory a 'potentially damaging event' for the Democratic Party."

And then Zohran won.

Who still interviews this corporate fossil?

So, he even killed Blondi?

I don't remember what happened to the dog.

Let's see what Wiki says:

"On 29 April 1945, one day before his death, Hitler expressed doubts about the cyanide capsules he had received through Heinrich Himmler's SS. To verify the capsules' potency, Hitler ordered SS physician Werner Haase to test one on Blondi, who died as a result."

So, Der Fuhrer didn't give his beloved Blondi to any of the escaping Nazis before the Red Army closed in on the bunker.

"Here, please take Blondi with you and do the best you can with her. Auf weidersehen, Liebchen!"

Hmph.

There's often a hint of good even in the worst of us.
It's just not always easy to see, and doesn't always balance out.

As with anything, vote your conscience and choose who you wish to mourn for and how.

Lindseed Graham acquited Dummkopf Trumpf twice during his impeachment trials in Congress:

Feb 2020 " Trumpf's first impeachment (Ukraine / abuse of power & obstruction).

Feb 2021 " Trumpf's second impeachment (6 Jan 6 incitement).

In both cases, Graham voted "not guilty."

Look where Amerikkka ended up thanks to losers like Graham.

Just some of childless warmonger Lindseed Graham's innocent victims in Minab, Iran:

Good shot, Clownshack, as always.

Your humble housecat struggling on an antiquated MS XP PC strongly suggests that some people on drudge.com govern themselves accordingly by avoiding progressive webblogs the moment the Grand Architect of the Universe condigns the morbidly obese draft dodging geriatric pedophilic goniff Dummkopf Trumpf (80) to perdition.
