Weekend Madness
Posted on: August 11, 2019
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.)

Happy Weekend Widdershins!
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.

Happy Weekend Widdershins!!!
I know I’m mostly MIA these days, but fear not, I’m around. How’s everybody doing?
One interesting thing happened since MB’s post on William Barr’s letter trying to save Trump’s ass “NO COLLUSION!” is that late on Friday William Barr sent another letter (dude likes to write letters). This time he says he will submit the full 400-page Mueller Report, with redactions that they are working on now, that they currently do not intend to submit the Report to the White House for approval beforehand. (Chair of the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler has said he rejects Barr’s timeline and expects to have the full un-redacted report in a few days. Stay tuned for how that works out…)
But the funnest part of Barr’s 2nd missive was this:
Oh…….how interesting. This is, of course, disingenuous. The original letter was presented as a summary of the Mueller Report and certainly every pathetic reporter who has been presenting it as such. Trump and all the Republican have been using it that way. Barr’s need to correct the record on that suggests that the Mueller Report does not quite exonerate Trump the way Barr wanted us to believe. So we see-saw up and down up and down I’ve got whiplash ya’ll!
And on that note, William Barr trying to un-do, re-do, walk-back, try again, “oops did I do that?” his first letter is our musical inspiration for the weekend.

Happy Weekend Widdershins!
What’s the latest news with everyone? What do we think about the latest news? Bloomberg has, fortunately, said he won’t run for President and will pump millions into the campaign to help Democrats. Good for him. Biden is likely to not be that prescient; he’s going to run, I’m sure of it. Whether or not he can win – well, the media (namely K-File on CNN, a muckraking team that digs through old media and social media to find those 20 year old tweets and interviews that will bury you today) has been digging up a lot of Biden’s old speeches about the crime bill. They’re not good. What it means for Biden from the black community only time will tell.
Speaking of time, that’s our theme for this weekend! Time-related songs, poems, paintings – whatever art you desire.

Well, this weekend has been a shitshow so far! What with the attacks on Diane Feinstein for not letting a bunch of coached child-sized protestors, basically like suicide bombers indoctrinated into yelling at people to get your way by their parents, take her for a ride. The shocking thing has been not the Alt-Left attacking Feinstein, that’s par for the course, but how many of the reasonable Democrats threw Feinstein right out of a speeding train: people like Rebecca Traister and Brian Fallon. No seriously, these idiots decided Feinstein is not serious about climate change (!) because she doesn’t support AOC’s 12 page memo about farting cows called The Green New Deal. Ugh, it was an informative day as I unfollowed a bunch of turncoats on Twitter, people who are obviously not trustworthy in a fight because they’ll stab you in the back the moment it’s convenient for them.
As far as Feinstein, I wager her legacy is quite secure. And she said what she said to those kids (the horror of it when she offered one of them an internship!) So our musical theme is: I SAID WHAT I SAID, NO APOLOGIES, NO REGRETS, I’M NOT SORRY, DEAL WITH IT. This, naturally, leads me to Madonna.
