Welcome to Friday Comments

I’ve never understood why women quit wearing them.  I really miss a fine woman in an elegant hat.

    A hat certainly enhances a ladies assets.

    #1. Not to mention the color coordination with the pearls and gloves. She certainly seems well put together.

    This is almost like a Christmas card.

    Hillary Clinton on Thursday decried the spread of fake news online, calling it an “epidemic” that Congress should take action against.
    “The epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year — it’s now clear the so-called fake news can have real-world consequences,” Clinton said during a speech on Capitol Hill.
    Some Democrats have argued the spread of anti-Clinton fake news online contributed to her electoral loss to Donald Trump.
    The issue has received renewed attention this week after a gunman entered a pizzeria in Washington that was at the center of a false viral conspiracy theory that alleged it was home to a pedophilia ring operated by Clinton and her inner circle.
    “This isn’t about politics or partisanship,” Clinton continued during her speech Thursday at a ceremony honoring retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
    “Lives are at risk — lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days, to do their jobs, contribute to their communities.”
    “It’s a danger that must be addressed and addressed quickly,” she said.

    She just can’t grasp the concept that the people don’t want a lying, cheating, incompetent, deranged criminal in the whitehouse – again.
    Yep, like a Christmas card from schaudenfreudville.

    Hillary is her own fake news.
    She is possibly the most two-faced politician ever to grace any political stage. I’m not including the present occupier of the Oval Office, because he was up front with this agenda, just packaged it so well that a lot of people ignored what he was saying.

    I stayed up late last night crocheting again. I told the lady who’s worked so hard for me over the past years with my faith formation class that I’d made Hubby a neck warmer. I asked if she wanted one, too, and she jumped at the idea. She gets cold very easily, and would love to have something extra to help her stay warm. While Hubby’s warmer was simply a tube, hers is a long flat rectangle. She likes blue, and I just happened to have a pretty blue yarn, and I gave it a little gray trim since I still had Hubby’s yarn out. Now, I just need to go to my button jar and find a suitable button to sew on. She can button it anywhere on the warmer, hugging her neck or not so much.
    I may have to make a few more. I had picked up a book on crochet hints and tips, and now that I’ve found out how to do chainless foundation stitches, my projects are a lot easier to get going. I know that’s crochet tech-speak for a lot of you, but trust me, it’s a game changer!
    I may make a few coffee cup cozies before Christmas, after I finish my sister’s embroidery project. I have some partial yarn skeins I need to put into some project. Small projects like neck warmers and cup cozies are perfect for using up that yarn.
    It’s the small things that enhance my life so much! Hubby always said I was a cheap date…..

    This is a really cool idea and I hope it works.

    In other news..
    Fake She-Beast Shillary, blamed her election loss to D Trump on an internet video, that no one ever saw, while she was landing under fake sniper fire to get the debate questions before the debate, as Brian Williams was also dodging sniper fire, while covering the fake story.
    Fake News organization INGSOCNN could not be reached for comment because they were too busy pumping out more propaganda about fake news.

    Glenn Reynolds thinks the GOP should keep paying Jill Stein whatever it is they are paying her.
    Ed Morrisey writes:

    Be careful what you wish for … you just might get it. Jill Stein didn’t get the recount she wanted in Michigan, but she did get the state to take vote-integrity issues seriously. Meeting in its lame-duck session, the state House of Representatives passed a tough voter-ID bill that includes $3 million for funding of free state identification and birth certificates after over 18,000 voters cast ballots without identification in the presidential election…

    How is it than one women can wear sexy lingerie and look classy, while another wears lingerie and looks like a world class (insult derogatory term that rhymes with “flut”) ?

    A hat was always an extra five bux.

    It’s the Chicago Way:

    Yields on ordinary debt from CPS have reached nine percent in recent months. The latest effort to market its debt reflects a new level of desperation on the part of the district, which has failed for years to put enough money aside to fund teacher pensions even though residents of the state of Illinois and the Windy City pay above-average tax burdens.
    The presence of the term “hypothetical bankruptcy” in the bond prospectus also highlights the fact that the district’s policymakers have given more than idle thought to the possibility that the school system may be forced into Title IX proceedings. (There have also been rumblings about bankruptcy for the entire city).

    @ NASA yesterday, I had to go from one building to the next and as I turned onto Avenue B I noticed a nice ten point buck at the corner of Bld 15. He was eating acorns under an oak tree, so I turned into the first parking lot to take some pictures. He was a little too far away for a good shot so I grunted twice and he headed my way pretty fast. I snapped a couple of pictures as he crossed the road and ended up right in front of me. He started grazing so I whistled and he looked right at me.

    An interesting question, for sure.
    As for today’s OC pic, that woman’s classiness endures forever. Her degree of sluttiness will wax and wane throughout the day.
    Must be a male thing.

    For men, I suppose classy and slutty are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

    Major Applewhite is the Coogs choice for coach. I guess that’s good, worries me he’s been with so many teams. But I don’t follow that close, maybe he keeps getting promoted.

    Good Saturday morning Hamsters. Busy yesterday with holiday stuff, in and out. Just checking the Friday postings now to see what I missed. Lots.
    Saved by the clouds so we only dipped to 39 this morning, chilly enough. Forecast seems to be for clouds and relatively warming temps until the next cold front approaches.
