Doggy doo head scratcher

No, I don't recommend scratching your noggin with poop from your pooch!

I've always been perplexed by a particular category of dog owner. There are those who are highly responsible, walking their dog regularly and always picking up the dog poop and discarding it. Then there are individuals who, unfortunately, do not seem to give a damn. They at least get their dog out for a walk sometimes but they won't bother to clean up the crap.

And then comes the ones that befuddle me: the people who scoop up Rex's turds in a bag but then just leave that bag sitting there in public. I walked into work today and there on the sidewalk was a plastic bag full of dog shit. Seriously? Who do they expect is going to come along after them and toss away their packaged poop?

Just strange.

She won't get locked up, but she may be fined

Not Hillary, but this woman from Portland Maine who is accused of stealing Donald Trump campaign signs. Maybe some of us at the DU could chip in to pay her penalty, if she is found guilty.


A 24-year-old Portland woman was issued a summons Thursday night after a Falmouth patrol officer caught her with several Trump campaign signs in her car — and one in her hand, a Falmouth Police Department official said Friday.

The woman’s name was not immediately available early Friday evening. Falmouth police Lt. John Kilbride said that the incident happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Route 1. The signs were on public property.

He said that the woman “stated she was upset with Trump” when asked why she had the signs.

Taking, defacing or disturbing signs bearing political messages relating to a general or primary election or a referendum is a civil violation in Maine. Those who do so face a fine of up to $250.

Chris Christie "Disappointed" but still supporting Trump

"In the end, this election is about bigger issues than that," says Christie.

Bigger issues than Trump being completely unfit for POTUS? I think not!

You can probably hear the San Fran fans in your home

even if your TV is off. Giants pull ahead 4-3 in the 8th inning.

Do not adjust your TV set

Yes, Jake Arrieta just hit a three-run homer off of Madison Bumgarner.

Wow! Just wow!

"God can use this man" referring to Trump!!!

Anyone watching CNN right now? There's a Kansas woman who was just interviewed who is the chair of the Rethug's third congressional district. She was also emphasizing her Christian faith. This is what she said about Drumpf:

"This is the kind of person that needs to lead our country. God can use anybody. He used the harlots. It's all about what God can do. God can use this man."

YIKES!!!

What's the last food that you "binged" on?

Last night before the debate I went to the grocery store and a 4-pack of cinnamon buns called my name. I hadn't eaten dinner and the first thing I did after getting home and putting the groceries away was reach for those cinnamon buns. By the time the debate was over, so was that treat -- in its entirety!

Van Jones just slammed Trump for his "locker room talk" excuse

In regards to the recently leaked video of Trump's lewd comments, Jones said on CNN tonight:

"The worst thing about it for me, going forward, is this idea that you can dismiss it as locker room talk. That is very dangerous. There is a culture that allows rape. There is a culture that allows sexual assault. And when you minimize it, 'Oh, that was just locker room talk,' no, you are describing sexual assaults. If I grab Donald Trump's crotch and tried to kiss him, I would go to jail. That's sexual assault. You're talking about criminal activity but you minimize it."

A tribute to Bartolo Colon

No, he's not dead (not trying to cause any panic).

I just saw an ESPN tweet tonight that Colon expressed his desire to return again next season if the Mets will have him back. It's remarkable how well he pitched this season (15-8, 3.43 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) considering turned 43 years old and he's farther and farther from winning Mr. Olympia.

I marvel at how he can still hustle for a big man. He made a few nifty plays at first to get some outs this season. He also accomplished this career first in 2016, much to the delight of his teammates.





These two plays are from last season, but they're fun to watch:






I hope Bartolo is back on the mound next year!!!

The global reaction to Trump summed up in a cartoon

From the Halifax Chronicle-Herald's Michael de Adder in Canada





Although it could be argued that Russia and North Korea are cheering on Don the Con.
