This is so cute. You don't even have to be a fan or even to have seen the movie to get it (but it helps).
What the hell was THAT?!
Just around 6:30, there was an incredible noise over Vegas that traveled over my house. The last time I heard something like it was at an air show with the Blue Angels.
I checked a couple TV news stations, but nothing yet.
Did anyone else hear it? What was going on?
A new one from Parody Project
It's about the airports in the Revolutionary War (or maybe the War of 1812). The tune is The Battle of New Orleans (one of my all time favorite songs) and the length is 2:20.
Enjoy!
Posting this in middle of an earthquake!
Small, barely noticeable earthquake just now in Las Vegas!
excuse me.... 
Okay, it seems to have stopped.
Upsurge in roboscam calls lately
I have been getting a sudden rise in the number of scam calls lately. I haven't been answering numbers I don't know. I block numbers that call repeatedly. But, for the past 2 weeks, I have been getting a lot more calls.
After getting 14 calls in one day between 10am and 8pm, I have been shutting my phone off during the day. Every other day that week I have had only 10 - 12 scam calls per day.
I looked into getting Nomorobo for cell phone. Does it really cost $1.99 a month? If you have Nomorobo for cells, does it work well? Do you like it?
I'm about to go crazy. This morning I got 2 spam/scam calls while I was composing a text for my husband.
Thanks in advance!
They get abortions for the same reasons as non-repugs do
This is one of the best articles I've ever read.In the spring of 2000, I collected the following anecdotes directly from abortion doctors and other clinic staff in North America, Australia, and Europe. The stories are presented in the providers' own words, with minor editing for grammar, clarity, and brevity. Names have been omitted to protect privacy.
Several stories told by doctors and clinical people follow. Anti-choicers may change their views. They may believe that their abortion is the "good" kind or her reasons are the only "good" reasons. They may wrestle with the hypocrisy. They may even be back out front the next day, protesting and shouting at women entering for medical care.
But they get abortions. Just ask representatives Tim Murphy and Scott DesJarlais.

Moments from the Intelligence Committee hearing
The rethugs were shameful at the beginning. We've all seen the clips of Rep Schiff's reaction, but my favorite Representative was Ms. Demings. She starts at 3:03:00, give or take a few seconds.
At 3:06:20, there is a quick wide shot of the committee - the rethug side is gone. They couldn't be bothered to stay for the whole thing. At 2:54:30, Mr. Maloney started his time and mentioned it.
Yeah, I watched the whole thing. It may say 3 1/2 hours, but there is a half hour in there where the hearing was suspended so the representatives could go out to vote.
Man oh man, what am I'm turning into?
Is anyone else watching the Wilbur Ross hearing?
It's on C-SPAN 3 and is about the 2020 census and the citizenship question, but questions are touching on timelines, political pressure, and intent in including the question.
Ross is the slowest talker I've ever heard. He also seems to be hard of hearing and has trouble understanding simple questions.
