Lazy Weekend: Make Us Laugh
Posted on: September 28, 2019
Happy Weekend Widdershins!
There’s something happening. Something new in the air. A disturbance in the Force. Democrats are laser focused on Trump’s shenanigans with Ukraine. As a Ukrainian by birth all I can say is “You’re welcome” if this is the thing that brings down Trump.
Something feels different about this one. I hope I’m right. I hope we don’t lose this one because we don’t have many chances left.
So to help each other get through these newly exciting and mortifying times, let’s try to make each other laugh. Post a funny video. Could be a funny cat video. Funny music video. Whatever makes you laugh. Make us all laugh!

Happy Weekend Widdershins!
The weather is starting to slowly change (although after a few cool days we suddenly got a couple of 90 degree humid ones…) But now we are back to our regularly scheduled program of a beautiful, sunny, cool, breezy day. Comfortable enough to wear shorts and t-shirt, but cool enough to actually enjoy the city!
What is happening in your neck of the woods? What’s on your mind? What are you listening to? Post some tunes you think are kind of underrated. Something that never became a big hit, but you think is grade-A material.

Another week of the Trump presidency, another bucketful of crap. The orange putz is attending the G7 summit. At least he and Boris Johnson will get along. What sort of drama will develop – who can even predict. Literally, anything could happen. We could go to war with France tomorrow, who knows. Because everything is so unpredictable, our weekend musical theme is unpredictability and surprise!
This is an open thread, as always.

Hello Widdershins! Happy Sunday!
So let’s see, has anything happened? Anything at all? Hmm… Oh yeah, Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide and Donald Trump tweeted a meme blaming the Clintons for murdering him. Mind you, Trump wasn’t the only one doing that. Bernie Sanders supporters did the same thing. So there you are.
On to more pleasant weekend shenanigans. This week I noticed something: the days are getting noticeably shorter. I know it’s still only middle of August, but the seasons have been so crazy this year that I think summer is over and Autumn is just around the corner. So, in anticipation of cooler temperatures (one hopes) and Autumn, let’s do Autumn/cold weather themed songs.

Hello Widdershins!!!! Happy Weekend!
Our Fredster is trying to stay safe from Barry: let’s keep an eye out on this storm and Fredster, please be safe!
I know I’ve been MIA for a bit; I got so burned out by the craziness of it all that I just had to step back, not go back to Twitter, barely read the news. And you know what? Ignorance really is much more blissful. Not following every Trump fart can have a positive effect on your life!! But, of course, one can’t sit there with one’s head buried in the sand. As Al Franken wisely said right after Trump’s election: Folks, this is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. And so it is…
But I am happy to be back amongst friends here, I will try to be less absent as we get ready for the election of our lifetimes.
As far as our musical theme this weekend: let’s do a free-for-all. Dig up your favorite and maybe forgotten songs and melodies!
I will begin with – who else – Madge! This Oscar performance of Stephen Sondheim’s “Sooner or Later,” written for her and the film Dick Tracy, is stunning. She sings the hell out of it. (The song went on to win the Oscar.) And keep an eye on her huge diamond earrings and when one of them falls off.

Well, the Mueller report was released with some massive reductions. But even ignoring the redacted parts, William Barr lied his ass off in the original letter and then in his press conference. Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice, even if Mueller wants to leave the details to Congress. The only person exonerated by the report was Hillary Clinton, frankly. But we already knew that.
Anyway, Barr lied and Democrats in the House should impeach him. Get that sonofabitch outta there!
Our musical themes are: Liar, Leave Us Alone and GTFOH (that’s Get The Fudge Outta Here.)

Our Fredster is having computer troubles. Let us hope for a quick reboot on that front!
I’m feeling a bit in the dumps again because of all the craziness going on. But I don’t want to bring everyone else down for the weekend, so let’s do the opposite! Music that makes you happy, puts a smile on your face! Doesn’t have to be music; could be a comedy routine. Whatever it is.
