Marc Dion: If Some Skank Complains… (Creators Syndicate)
"Guys, they go in, they put a half-a-buck in the machine, they don't get no condom, they come out and ask the bartender for their money back," he said. "Women, they go in there, they put money in the machine, they don't get no condom, they're too embarrassed to complain. The condom machine in the girl's room's been empty for 25 years. Pure profit."
Froma Harrop: It Is in Our Interest to Save Other Species (Creators Syndicate)
So this frog is not some insignificant amphibian to be casually wiped out. Its future rests on a court currently deadlocked between four "liberals" who would ensure its survival and four "conservatives" focused on the money. It's safe to assume that if a Justice Brett Kavanaugh were to break the tie, mammon would win - and the dusky gopher frog would lose its place in our world.
Connie Schultz: Our Memories Are Long, Our Resolve Unshakable (Creators Syndicate)
It was only a matter of time. So many of us women, so many men who love us - we knew this was coming. We knew it when Donald Trump praised Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as "a very fine woman ... very fine woman." We knew it when he called her Senate testimony "very compelling." She had described how his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, once sexually assaulted her. We knew the shaky pretense of Trump's praise could not hold.
Ted Rall: Trump Has Revolutionized Politics. Can Democrats Catch Up? (Creators Syndicate)
One can, and perhaps should, deplore the new normal. In the long run, it can't bode well for the future of a country for its citizens to be governed by laws most of them are against, passed by politicians most of them despise and whose constitutionality is assessed by court justices most of them look down upon. But this is reality. Sitting around tweeting your annoyance won't change a thing.
Susan Estrich: No Corroboration? (Creators Syndicate)
The gist of my argument to the judges 40 years ago was very simple: I was raped; I told the truth; but nobody saw it. No one ever does. People don't commit sexual assault in front of others who are sober enough and/or independent enough to get involved. If the man had been caught, a jury should have had the chance to hear me.
Mark Shields: Timeless - and Wise - Advice (Creators Syndicate)
The point Brown was driving home that Sunday morning in 1968 was timeless. A political party or a political campaign - as a former Republican congressman and continuing wise man, Tom Davis, points out - is a coalition of disparate people who agree on more than they disagree on and not, as ideological purists on both the right and the left would prefer, some private social club where admission is limited to those who think exactly alike.
Greg Sargent: Elizabeth Warren's new, tantalizing claim about Kavanaugh shows what utter madness this is (Washington Post)
"If the FBI has information from Judge or from Smyth that contradicts either their earlier statements or Kavanaugh's testimony, that would be a big deal, and something I would think the Senate would be concerned about," Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin, told me […]. "But we have no way of knowing if it's that or something far more benign." Vladeck added: "It's more than a little troubling that the Senate is going to vote on something as important as a Supreme Court nomination with the American people entirely in the dark on the matter."
Paul Waldman and Greg Sargent: Angry over Kavanaugh's confirmation? This fight was worth having. And it continues. (Washington Post)
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) "on Friday assured us up and down that this will not happen. Well, her speech will make for fun viewing in a couple of years. Oh, by the way, Collins is up for reelection in 2020. Are you angry about what's happening? Then don't forget about it. Organize, organize, organize for the next few elections. Vote. And get as many people as possible to vote along with you."
November is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. November was the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name (from the Latin novemmeaning "nine") when January and February were added to the Roman calendar. November is a month of late spring in the Southern Hemisphere and late autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, November in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.

Since the seasons are opposite from each other in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, November in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere.

November in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of MAY in the Northern Hemisphere, and the precursor to summer with very hot weather, wild fires, drought, heat related deaths of humans/animals, etc, etc, etc. The only White Christmas they have is from ashes falling before their homes burn. NOTE: I am not in a good mood towards anything due to the disgraceful performance of our CpPDJT-ID, the sycophantic repug senators, the shaming of Dr. Ford and all other women, etc, etc, etc ... ! I HATE IT ALL.

The antipodes greet the arrival of November with great anticipation of even more clement weather to come. Up here in the podes, the lusty month of May anticipates nice weather. Doesn't have the same ring as the lusty month of November, though...
• In November of 1973, Soviet gymnast Olga Korbut competed in the all-around competition at the European Championships. She performed well, but fellow Soviet gymnast Ludmilla Tourischeva performed better, winning gold to Olga's silver. When the medal winners were walking to the awards platform, Olga suddenly turned away, walked to a bench, and sat down. She was so disappointed in coming in second that she wanted to refuse to accept the silver medal. However, a female Soviet coach walked over to Olga, grabbed her shoulders, and marched her back to the line. Olga accepted the silver medal and learned something about showing grace when coming in second.
• Umpire Clarence "Pants" Rowland once called out Babe Ruth on a close play at third base one day, but he also praised him, helping him up, brushing off his uniform, and saying, "Great slide, Babe, but he just had you." The Yankee players wondered why Babe didn't argue the call, but Babe explained, "What could I do? I thought I was safe, but the guy was dusting my clothes off and telling me what a great slide I made. What could I say to him?"
• Rumi, the founder of the Whirling Dervishes, understood and practiced good etiquette. An Armenian butcher once bowed to him seven times, and Rumi returned the bows. On another occasion, several children in a group bowed to him, and Rumi bowed to each of the children. One child was far off, and he called to Rumi, "Wait for me until I come." Rumi waited, the child arrived and bowed to him, and Rumi returned the child's bow.
• After a baseball game at which he had officiated, minor league umpire Harry "Steamboat" Johnson was accosted by a woman who hit him several times with her umbrella. He warded off the blows as best he could, and then told the woman, "Lady, I don't know who you are, but if you can get someone to introduce us, you can go on hitting me." She laughed and quit hitting him.
• Comedian Jay Leno declines to act as if he is better than other people. Once, while boarding a plane, he pushed himself in front of an old lady in a wheelchair, who waved him on and said, "Oh, go ahead, dearie." This made him feel terrible. He said, "I felt like the guy on the Titanic who puts on a dress so he can get in the life raft first." After that, he acted like a normal person instead of like a big shot.
1. Brett was confirmed by the senate today and sworn in tonight.
2. Under oath and in front of millions of TV viewers, he vehemently claimed that he was unfairly attacked by the Clintons, the Democratic Party, women, etc. After which former Justice Stevens declared that he was unfit to be confirmed to the SCOTUS since he was unable to provide a fair and impartial decision to those parties he maligned under oath.
3. Immediately, every case that is to appear before the SCOTUS should have at least one and maybe all of his maligned parties join those cases.
4. When the case is presented, the maligned parties must demand that Brett recuse himself from their case.
5. You have a glass of lemonade, created by Brett, and endorsed by Justice Stevens.
I apologize if more studied and recognized legal scholars have already thought of this, but when the idea came to mind, you were the person I wanted to tell it to.
