@joe shikspack @joe shikspack We are going into the gulf waters shortly, have been staying at South Padre Island. We got a great condo rental, huge balcony with a great view of the beach, and hate to leave in the morning.
Marvin was like no other.
Take care, pal!

thanks for the cool tune and the video!

here's one for you:

@shaharazade n/t

#3 a sly looking bastard. Almost as nasty looking as George W Bush. Makes sense they both worked for either the KGB or the CIA. Why focus on hating Putin, PLuto? Surely you are smart enough to grasp that this freaking nightmare is not about 'the Russian's did it'. How about NATO, the freaking fascist's in the Ukraine and the US global proxy wars? Seems to me the villains of this piece are US generated. NATO has a horrendous history. Check it out historically. I respect you but can't understand your knee jerk response to this propaganda deluge were getting.

@shaharazade

I'm targeting the critics of this blog, who seem to think we are colluding with Vladimir Putin, rather than discussing an intricate geopolitical crisis with intellectual honesty. I assume that our critics are unable to grasp the risky strategic game that's been playing out for many years. As if war suddenly plopped into their laps out of nowhere. (No matter that they have been tricked into war for their entire lives by identical deceits of the US State Department.) Sadly, Americans always succumb to the US boogyman narrative — and they always buy in to obvious false flag accusations coming from "Anonymous US Sources."

That's who I am flaming with my cynical meme.

The satire at c99 can be very subtle and convoluted. That's due, in part, to the fact that our discordant visitors tend to be more refined than the norm at other websites.

PS: I've carried this meme around for a very long time. I just transferred it from an old retired hard drive to my active files. That's how long this Deep-Snakes psyop about "Russia invading and capturing the nations of Europe to re-create the Soviet Union" has been in play to terrorize low-info Americans and Europeans. I posted it for the first time yesterday, in part, to make this very point.

And they are still going off. Good grief they must have spent a ton of money on them to be doing this for so long. I keep visualizing myself going out there and telling them ENOUGH! But I don’t want to be the cranky lady of the block. The last one was so loud I jumped! I don’t remember how Sam handled this last year.

Scritch delivered and she said thanks.

My brother had to evacuate his house last night because of a fire in the foothills behind his house. Fireworks are banned that close to the mountain, but….

cool map!

heh, my neighbors and a nearby official display have been going on for several hours. the official display ended a little while ago, but the neighbors are good at least until midnight if previous years are a guide.

fortunately, our dog couldn't be less impressed by all of the noise, she's been napping on the couch quite contentedly much of the evening.

sorry to hear that your neighbors are driving sam nuts. please give her a scritch for me and say some calming things.
