Sen. Fauxcahontas - NOT a Truth-Teller

Wow, Elizabeth Warren re-imagining the truth in order to bolster her image - who could have seen that coming?

On Meet The Press last Sunday Sen. Warren shared a wrenching "me-too" story about the sexual harassment of a young Professor Warren many years ago. However, by weird coincidence, she had told the same story years ago in the course of eulogizing her alleged harasser. I know, right? Must have been a pretty scarring incident if she took time out of her schedule to attend his funeral. Or did she open with "I have come to bury this randy old goat, not to praise him"? Not according to the fellow who described it, who remembers her making light of the whole incident (although now he wonders how reliable his memory might be, and who among us can not relate? Other than The Donald, I suppose.)

Bonus Baffler: Today Ms. Warren describes the harasser chasing her around his office desk. Back in Realityville the guy had polio and could barely walk.

Whatever. The guy is dead so he won't be commenting and who am I to question her many truths?

First?

No doubt she will claim that she made light of it because it was the only way she could deal with the tremendous pain.

More likely it is as legitimate as her Native American ancestry.

[Sue]

TM,

You aren’t allowed to question her. She is a minority woman and you have white privilege.

[jimmyk]

Back in Realityville the guy had polio and could barely walk.

Also in Realityville, Lizzie was never particularly attractive, at least in any pictures I've seen. Always looked kind of schoolmarmish. Hardly worth chasing around a desk, polio or not. As in this picture:

I am cleaning out dresser drawers, which I didn't do before we moved. This explains why I have a set of converter plugs for European electrical circuits, 2 pairs of unusable bifocals because my prescription has changed, a sheaf of direction pamphlets for old Nintendo games, and 3 Walter Foster drawing books (I also cleaned out my desk as well).

I am also switching most of my short-sleeved shirts to storage and getting out winter clothing.

Not exactly the most exciting afternoon, but at least I feel like I accomplished something.

Kevlar Kid,

Some furniture advice for you from one who sold it for many years:

1. If you decide on the reclining sofa (recliners in each end) you will either have to do without a coffee table OR move the coffee table every time you want to recline one end.

2. Sectionals will usually only allow one arrangement of the furniture. This is ok if you guys aren't fond of constantly switching things around. (My sister, who rearranges her living room quarterly could never deal with a sectional). Also, make sure the fabric isn't going to show wear because wherever you plant yourselves will wear quicker. (Some fabrics will pill or lose color with a lot of wear.)

Now I will quit offering buttinsky advice. I think you will like the new floors. That bamboo stuff looks great in every place I have seen it used.

CH - agree. Our first Black Swan president may be an acquired taste, but I am very pleased with his actions. Dennis Prager played all of DJT's phone call shared by a Gold Star mother, who is black. It was friendly, informed and long.

Clarice, I long to know how many other propaganda condolence trips Rep.Cowboy Hat has made. Was this her first Dover rodeo or is she a professional? This seemed carefully crafted to coincide with the other Niger accusations against the president.

To walk over the body of a murdered soldier for political purposes and to misuse the grief of his family is beyond despicable.

My taste does not run to heavy peaty scotch whiskey but if you want peat that you can smell from the open bottle then you want:

Laphroaig

Cant speak for the exact price ( again not my taste ) but I do know that they do produce a 10 year version, and in general the shorter the years the cheaper the price is ( I tend to drink 14 or 15 year old scotch but have in my cabinet 18 and 21 year old single malt scotchs ).

Hope that is of some assist.

I won't link it since it's so grossly tasteless and unnecessarily risqué, but Kevlar's 04:54 off to the right has a link to Pamela Anderson, Julianne Assange's girlfriend, doing some nude shoot. The part that "also" caught my eye was this:

Age defying: Pammy was seen in London on Thursday at the Ecuadorian Embassy visiting her friend Julian Assange

So apparently Assange is doing OK and she keeps visiting. I wonder if she also is visiting Trump since apparently they are old friends?

So we have absolutely no penalty for those who actually broke the law. Koskinen suffers no penalty beyond leaving his job when he was scheduled to.

Not sufficient.

Isn't that the origin of the phrase "saved by the bell," Porch?

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I don't want to hand out candy because I can't gauge how many kids we will have, and I don't want a bunch left over.

On the other hand, I don't want to be targeted as a skinflint by the kids.

I dread Halloween because the dogs will bark non-stop.

Kev be careful if you are doing the bamboo laminate floors in a kitchen or anywhere that water can be an issue.

Had Pergo in the kitchen (oak look not bamboo) and the dishwasher gave out and flooded the floors. The flooring was cupping w/in 1/2 hour of the flood.

They now make a waterproof bamboo laminate flooring that is supposed to not have that issue.

Hope that helps. Your insurance company will thank me.

=======

Pulling all the old insulation out of the crawl space this weekend and installing new. going from R-13 to R-19 too although the reason we're replacing it is the septic backed up last spring and flooded into the insulation and now we have mold. :(

Also going to paint the guest bedroom and put the new dresser and other stuff in it that I got in the Keys a year ago that is just kinds lurking in the corner.

on the menu for weekend after next (going to Biloxi next weekend ;) ) put 400 daffodil bulbs in the backyard where it is mostly 'naturalized' past the grass and other maintained area, strip the wallpaper in the powder room and paint it to prepare for the new vanity and toilet and flooring going in... doing the floor myself but have a carpenter doing the custom cabinet.

I've been so busy with K and the baby and all the issues with that I never got my spring/summer clothes any further than pulling the cubbies out and picking some clothes out to wear (and rewearing those same ones all summer - I work form home so not a lot of clothes) so those cubbies will just go back in the storage room for next spring.... Ha!

I do need to purge about 3 closets of work clothes and 2 cubbies of about 200 pairs of shoes that I never wear anymore. Gad the amount of dress shoes I had for work in the corp world.

Also getting quotes to redo all the cabinets in the kitchen with custom and quartz counters but I'll do the backsplash myself.

Then it is the master bath finish. Same cabinet going in the powder room will be done with a new linen/storage tower between 2 new ones up there and new marble counters in there.

then all is left is the master bedroom that looks like a nuke went off with all the crap stuffed in there 'decluttering' the other rooms. New wood floors and paint and a new barn sliding door between it and the bath.

Then I AM DONE!!!!!

lol NOT.

Halloween is a huge deal in our neighborhood - people come from all over town. There is one street that is closed off and people build haunted houses and stuff. I really like handing out candy, though, so I always try to get out of trick or treating with the kids. Bad mom.

daddy,

One of the things that makes the Trump Era so fascinating is that he doesn't do things the way the regular political types do.

I don't know how many times I read pundits saying during the campaign, "He's got no ground game! No offices! No consultants!"

No, he didn't. He thinks consultants are a waste of money. His ground game was on the internet, on Twitter, Facebook and Reddit as well as those rallies, which kept me entertained all summer! He didn't need 100 guys with clipboards or a staff of wannabee Karl Roves.

I would bet cash money Pam Anderson is carrying messages. Memorized, so if the Ecuadoreans decide to search her (as I am sure they are tempted to do - HA) they will find nothing.

I sure hope someone writes a book about this administration. Guaranteed all-time best seller! After all, look how interested WE are and we don't know half of what's going on!

[joan]

Mike in Houston, thanks for posting those names of the "owners" of the no votes.

I just looked up Ken Buck from Colorado, wondering why he'd vote no (absent a bunch of angry constituents) and found this bit from Denver Post:

Republican Congressman Ken Buck has declared that the GOP “is dead” in a Denver Post guest commentary, saying the U.S. has been distracted with “frivolities” and that Congress has been unable to accomplish anything substantive since President Donald Trump took office.

Republicans carried a strong vision and values into unified government six months ago. We championed principles like limited government, job creation, border security and budget balancing. We promised to repeal Obamacare, enact tax reform and roll back burdensome federal regulations. But what have we done?”

The Windsor lawmaker is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, which has been a vocal proponent of pushing the GOP further to the right. But Buck’s pointed criticism of the Republican Party comes at a time of frustration for conservatives who are upset about the U.S. Senate’s inability to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act.

Some top Republican lawmakers have also raised alarm about the turmoil in Trump’s White House over the past several weeks, particularly his spat with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

/snip/

Buck, speaking on CNN last week, said he thinks Trump and Sessions need to work out their differences in private and voiced support for the attorney general. The congressman also raised concerns about the now-ousted White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci’s handling of that tension."

Hmmm, is all I can say. No worry about elimination of state taxes?

Lynn Jenkins, Kansas. This one really puzzled me, then I found:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/29/politics/lynn-jenkins-trump-unacceptable-interview-cnntv/index.html

Washington (CNN)Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins called President Donald Trump's behavior on Twitter "unacceptable" in the wake of his latest attack against "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski.

"They're unacceptable. I hope that they stop, and that we all can get back to civil discourse, treating each other with respect on both sides of the aisle, and putting good public policy first," Jenkins, a Kansas Republican, told CNN Thursday.

As "Morning Joe" was still being aired, Trump fired off a series of tweets criticizing Brzezinski for allegedly "bleeding badly from a face-lift" while staying at Mar-a-Lago around New Year's Eve.
In response, Jenkins, who previously served as the vice chair of the House Republican Conference, swiftly condemned the Republican president.
"This is not okay. As a female in politics I am often criticized for my looks. We should be working to empower women," she tweeted.

[maryrose]

Is this the same Ken Buck that ran for the Senate against the incumbent?

[joan]

Walter B. Jones of North Carolina, another puzzle to me. Of course I realize lots of liberals have moved to NC (since I lived there, but was surprised.) However, his reasoning is not that of a liberal, but a rigid conservative, (my opinion) who doesn't seem to understand this is just a first step toward a tax bill.

Yes they are Porch. No way in hell you can get them out without breakage, though.

I recommend a good porcelain tile that mimics whatever you want in the bathroom for the floors or continuing existing wood floors from whatever room your bathroom buts up against It's not that hard to weave it into the existing stuff in the doorway and lay it out the rest of the way from that. Marble look Porcelain instead of marble as porcelain has texture to it and doesn't get as slippery when wet. I really like the wood look porcelain as it won't warp like wood and it looks like wood. Easy to install, too.

Don't attempt a complicated pattern either as you will end up out of square unless you are a professional. Simple squares or a brick type midtile grout line like bricks on a house. Herringbone and other patterns look awesome but they are a bitch to do and look right.

The hot new look now is patterned tiles that have a bit of an art deco look to them. Looks great til they go out of fashion in a few years. Stay neutral in colors and save the 'fashion' touches to accents of a strip of specialty tile 4-12 inches wide if your are doing wall tile. It can always be removed if it starts getting too dated looking and replaced without needing to redo the entire area.

Subway tile is popular for walls, but I prefer the subway tile that has a bevel or something that distinguishes it from industrial looking subway tile that is in schools and hospitals... yuck.

Hope that helps.

[Stephanie Nene Not your normal Grandma]

ISTM that this passage in Schlichter's latest could be said about another group of people.

"It’s a pose, a scam, an okie-doke. They want you to shrug and comply. Their strategy is to whine, complain, and annoy you until you become accustomed to obeying. They want to exhaust you with a never-ending litany of accusations of breaking the unending supply of new rules you didn’t know existed before you broke them."

Who would that group be? Wife and child beaters and abusers. They exist to belittle others and get off on the power they have.

Is Emma a Morkie?

Congrats on your recovery to this point.

maryrose, I have been reading with great interest your accounts of your childhood. I am new here but think I read not too long ago that you and your sister were in an orphanage. When did you have a life with your family?

[maryrose]

Should be wood look porcelain.
See why I need help.

I have a fully pink bathroom with custom floral bouquets in some tiles (fairly ghastly, but there you are). Even the toilet has its floral decorations (some former owner, evidently, lost his or her--very likely her, mind). Had no idea I was sitting on a gold mine.

Laura:
My sister and I were at the orphanage twice.
From February of 1961 until The following Sept.
And then from February of 1962 until Sept of 1962.
My youngest sister was in a foster home in Cleveland Heights.
My brothers remained at the orphanage the entire two years.
My oldest brother graduated and went to StAnthony's home for the summer.
Tragically he went with 2 other boys to Edgewater Park to swim in Lake Erie on a bad weather day in August.
He got caught in an undertow and drowned.
We all came home after that.
We were there because my mother suffered a nervous breakdown and then a relapse.

maryrose, I am so sorry. How terrible for you and your siblings. I can see how you are so caring for people and give people like Ryan, etc. a pass. With such a sad childhood, I can see why you are so compassionate.
