Read-Alike Friday: King of the Armadillos by Wendy Chin-Tanner
King of the Armadillos by Wendy Chin-Tanner
Victor Chin’s life is turned upside down at the tender age of 15. Diagnosed with Hansen’s disease, otherwise known as leprosy, he’s forced to leave the familiar confines of his father’s laundry business in the Bronx – the only home he’s known since emigrating from China with his older brother – to quarantine alongside patients from all over the country at a federal institution in Carville.
At first, Victor is scared not only of the disease, but of the confinement, and wants nothing more than to flee. Between treatments he dreams of escape and imagines his life as a fugitive. But soon he finds a new sense of freedom far from home – one without the pull of obligations to his family, or the laundry business, or his mother back in China. Here, in the company of an unforgettable cast of characters, Victor finds refuge in music and experiences first love, jealousy, betrayal, and even tragedy. But with the promise of a life-changing cure on the horizon, Victor’s time at Carville is running out, and he has some difficult choices to make.
Stealing by Margaret Verble
Since her mother’s death, Kit Crockett has lived with her grief-stricken father, spending lonely days far out in the country tending the garden, fishing in a local stream, and reading Nancy Drew mysteries from the library bookmobile. One day when Kit discovers a mysterious and beautiful woman has moved in just down the road, she is intrigued.
Kit and her new neighbor Bella become fast friends. Both outsiders, they take comfort in each other’s company. But malice lurks near their quiet bayou and Kit suddenly finds herself at the center of tragic, fatal crime. Soon, Kit is ripped from her home and Cherokee family and sent to Ashley Lordard, a religious boarding school. Along with the other Native students, Kit is stripped of her heritage, force-fed Christian indoctrination, and is sexually abused by the director. But Kit, as strong-willed and shrewd as ever, secretly keeps a journal recounting what she remembers - and revealing just what she has forgotten. Over the course of Stealing, she slowly unravels the truth of how she ended up at the school - and plots a way out.
Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash
As German bombs fall over London in 1940, working-class parents Millie and Reginald Thompson make an impossible choice: they decide to send their eleven-year-old daughter, Beatrix, to America. There, she’ll live with another family for the duration of the war, where they hope she’ll stay safe.
Scared and angry, feeling lonely and displaced, Bea arrives in Boston to meet the Gregorys. Mr. and Mrs. G, and their sons William and Gerald, fold Bea seamlessly into their world. She becomes part of this lively family, learning their ways and their stories, adjusting to their affluent lifestyle. Bea grows close to both boys, one older and one younger, and fills in the gap between them. Before long, before she even realizes it, life with the Gregorys feels more natural to her than the quiet, spare life with her own parents back in England.
As Bea comes into herself and relaxes into her new life - summers on the coast in Maine, new friends clamoring to hear about life across the sea - the girl she had been begins to fade away, until, abruptly, she is called home to London when the war ends.
Desperate as she is not to leave this life behind, Bea dutifully retraces her trip across the Atlantic back to her new, old world. As she returns to post-war London, the memory of her American family stays with her, never fully letting her go, and always pulling on her heart as she tries to move on and pursue love and a life of her own.
A Council of Dolls by Mona Susan Power
Sissy, born 1961: Sissy’s relationship with her beautiful and volatile mother is difficult, even dangerous, but her life is also filled with beautiful things, including a new Christmas present, a doll called Ethel. Ethel whispers advice and kindness in Sissy’s ear, and in one especially terrifying moment, maybe even saves Sissy’s life.
Lillian, born 1925: Born in her ancestral lands in a time of terrible change, Lillian clings to her sister, Blanche, and her doll, Mae. When the sisters are forced to attend an “Indian school” far from their home, Blanche refuses to be cowed by the school’s abusive nuns. But when tragedy strikes the sisters, the doll Mae finds her way to defend the girls.  
Cora, born 1888: Though she was born into the brutal legacy of the “Indian Wars,” Cora isn’t afraid of the white men who remove her to a school across the country to be “civilized.” When teachers burn her beloved buckskin and beaded doll Winona, Cora discovers that the spirit of Winona may not be entirely lost...

Taylor Swift: The Real Reason The Right Hate Her | James Carville Explains
COMMENTARY:
White supremacists are ugly people who go to great lengths to appear likeJ FK: grace under fire and beautiful souls, but they are all like Nixon, a man I admire, intellectually,
Taylor Shift is one of those people they can never be and they can't fake it. It's why they loved William F, Buckley, who was as ugly in his soul as Paul Gosar, but charming and witty and everything Rush Limbaugh could never be. Gore Vidal exposed the inner rot of William F. Buckley, His program of Nazification appeals to these goblins and their pursuit of powoer and money lets them purchase a pretense of grace and generosity of spirit that was the state of being JFK and is Taylor Swift,
I am an Eisenhower Republican and I am not like JFK nor Taylor Swift,, but I am alson not like the ugly souls of the Pat Buchanan Plumbers nor the Ted Cruz and Phyllis Schlafly. Maybe Bob Dole and Laura Bush, I am not nobel, but I aspire to the values of George Marshall and my dad. There is grace in that and that is sufficient.
Actually, I like to think I share the values of Michael Steele, Michael Steele is more woke than Barack Obama, He's been woke his entire life  And a little bit of Mary Matalin

Extreme Election Night 2020 Preview
Tumblr media
(PCW 15th Year Celebration- Taped Earlier This Year)
The Scene: A meeting room inside a hotel.  At the front of the room, PCW Owner Dawn McGill stand behind a podium with a sign in front that reads “PCW 15 years.”  She’s dressed nicely for the occasion.
Tumblr media
PCW Owner Dawn McGill
Dawn McGill: Welcome to the fifteenth year of Political Championship Wrestling.
The camera pans around the hall at the politicos from both sides – all whom played major roles in PCW over the past fifteen years – as they applaud.
There’s ‘The Mastermind’ Karl Rove who claps his hands and then points to his temple to make sure everyone knows he’s a *BLEEP*-ing genius.
The Clinton Political Pitbulls (James Carville, Terry McAuliffe, and Sidney Blumenthal).
’The Alaskan Pitbull’ Sarah Palin (AK-American Patriots).
Rahm Emanuel- he’s about the drop an F-Bomb but realizes he’s on camera so he doesn’t.
‘Screamin’ Howard Dean (VT-Progressive Alliance)…
Howard Dean: YEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
…who’s sitting uncomfortably close to one Alan Simpson (WY-American Patriots)…
Alan Simpson: STOP YELLING IN MY *BLEEP*-DAMN EAR!
…Mitch McConnell (KY-American Patriots) stands and claps…
Mitch McConnell: Spending obscene amounts of cash in order to gain influence with our leaders is a First Amendment right!
…Nancy Pelosi (CA-Progressive Alliance).  She hides behind of wall of bodyguards.  Get it?  Hiding behind a wall.  A wall of bodyguards?
Then there’s a quick shot of the PCW Hall of Famers on hand: ‘Not Just Unbearable…Not Just Intolerable…He is…’ Justin Sufferable, PCW tag team legends The Flyin’ Martini Brothers (Independent), ‘No Frills’ Chris Escondido, and ‘The Original Rookie Sensation’ Starz N. Stripes (Kevin Scott)
Back to McGill up front.
Dawn McGill: Let’s now welcome the living former PCW CEO’s.  First, Jimmy Carter.
John Denver’s ‘Thank God I’m a Country Boy’ heralds the entrance of 96 year old Jimmy Carter (GA-Progressive Alliance) as he’s wheeled into the hall.
Dawn McGill: Bill Clinton.
Clinton (AR-Progressive Alliance) strides out as a video plays of an old episode of ‘Bill Clinton’s Hot Tub’ plays…
VIDEO: Bill Clinton’s Hot Tub – November 2nd, 2010 episode of Extreme Political TV Clinton glumly sits in his hot tub…alone and flanked by two Secret Service men.  Off to the side of the hot tub lies a ladybug costume that he had brought anticipating that Christine O’Donnell was going to be his guest on the show.
Bill Clinton: I don’t know what else I could have done.  I even brought her a ladybug costume just so she’ll feel comfortable.   *sigh*
Secret Service Agent 1: I don’t think Miss O’Donnell is coming sir.
Bill Clinton: This makes me profoundly sad.  (bites lip)  I feel my pain.
==
Dawn McGill: George W. Bush.
Dawn watches as George W. Bush’s (TX-American Patriots) perpetually off-key mariachi band leads former CEO George W. Bush to the ring with another horribly played, but rousing, rendition of “Hail to the Chief.”
Dawn’s face contorts and cringes every time the off-key mariachi band hits a particularly sour note.
Dawn McGill: Barack Obama.
*flute and clarinet flourish*
Two men come out and unroll a white carpet to the ring steps. Dancers then dance. Ballet dancers…ballet? Little children walk up the white carpet and drop rose petals. Someone lets loose some pigeons…we’re still not sure just how they’ll get out of the building.  Former PCW CEO Barack Obama (IL-Progressive Alliance) appears with his former Aide de Camp Joe ‘the Big F-ing Deal’  Biden (DE-Progressive Alliance) by his side.
Dawn McGill: And our current CEO, Donald Trump.
youtube
PCW CEO Donald Trump (NY-American Patriots) comes out on stage.
The supporters chant “TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!” which merges with the melody of the Imperial March and becomes:
♫ TRUMP.
TRUMP.
TRUMP.
TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMP
TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMMMMP♫
♫ TRUMP.
TRUMP.
TRUMP.
TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMP
TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMMMMP♫
After Trump sits down at the dias with the rest of the other former CEO’s, McGill continues.
Dawn McGill: Tonight is not about politics as usual.
As she speaks, the caterers roll out a huge cake.
Dawn McGill: Tonight is about celebrating what we have in common and what binds us together.
Close up to the item sitting on top of said cake- it’s a giant briefcase with money overflowing from inside of it.
Dawn McGill: It’s about…all of us…
As the caterers situate where the cake is to go, one of them bumps into the cart.  The giant briefcase starts to sway back and forth.
Dawn McGill: …It’s about the people…
Finally, the briefcase slides off the top and falls towards the floor.
Close up- Mitch McConnell.  His eyes light up and drool forms on the edge of his mouth.
Dawn McGill: …because we may have our differences…
The briefcase hits the floor and opens up.  There’s a lot of cash inside and some of it spills out onto the floor.
Close up- Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton: Ohhhh baby.
Everyone looks around at each other.
Dawn McGill: …in the end, we all share a common thread the binds us all together…
Silence…several seconds of silence.
Bill Clinton’s gaze meets up with James Carville.  Clinton nods and winks.  Carville smiles and then…
George W. Bush: Wait for it.
At once, Carville and everyone else shoot up from their chairs and dives towards the open briefcase.  McConnell jumps in.  Pelosi’s ‘wall’ of bodyguards barge in and try to plow a path to the cash.
Also wading in: John Boehner (OH-American Patriots), Harry Reid (NV-Progressive Alliance), and Paul Ryan (WI-American Patriots) and people from both sides of the aisle attempt to burrow their way through the pile of humanity.
Rahm Emanuel (IL-Progressive Alliance) runs down and starts dropping people left and right with F-Bombs.
Close up of Jimmy Carter’s reaction to the scramble for cash: disappointment and disgust.
Unidentifiable person in the middle of the scrum: OWWWWW!  HE’S BITING!  HE’S BITING!
Close up- it’s James Carville.
Close up of George W. Bush’s reaction: whimsical smile.
W taps Clinton on the shoulder.
George W. Bush: Not a whole lot of strat-tee-ger-ree goin’ on here.
Bill Clinton: Nope.
Another unidentifiable person in the middle of the scrum: OWWWWW!  WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!
Close up- it’s ‘The Alaskan Pitbull’ Sarah Palin.  She’s not biting though.  She’s using a power drill to get to the bottom of the pile.
Sarah Palin: DRILL BABY DRILL!
Another unidentifiable person in the middle of the scrum: AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH!
Close up of Barack Obama’s reaction: rising above the fray.
Barack Obama: *I* would not do that.
Obama turns to Biden.
Barack Obama: But *I* also know you’re just itching for a fight.
Joe Biden: You know it.
Barack Obama: Go for it.
Biden leaps over the table and literally cannonballs into the pile of humanity.
A third unidentifiable person in the middle of the scrum: OWWW!  DAMMIT! WHO KEEPS BITING?
Close up- it’s Alan Simpson- Simpson’s not after the money, he’s just being his usual irascible and ornery self.
W leans in towards Bill Clinton.
George W. Bush: Where’s Hillary?
Close up of the pile.  Two legs wearing white pants stick out of the huge pile.
George W. Bush: Oh.  Never mind.
Trump shakes his head.
Close up- Dawn McGill at the podium.  She rolls her eyes and takes a sip from her drink.
McGill’s POV: both sides scratch, claw, gouge, use steel folding chairs, regular chairs, and anything else that can be used as a weapon- all to get at the cash in the briefcase.
She sighs and rests her chin on her hand propped up by her elbow on the podium as the chaos continues…
Political Championship Wrestling Preview of Extreme Election Night 2020 Hack’s Rusty Nail Saloon Wauseon, Ohio Sunday December 27th, 2020
Johnny Suave (voiceover): “To say that the last year have been frustrating for Dawn McGill would be an understatement of epic proportion.  Having her show taken off the air and having to endure the Star Chamber of Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler and their investigation had been not only tough on her but the PCW talent as well.  Yes, house shows continued to be run but PCW was off television.  As 2019 came to a close, Dawn fired off a shot across the bow when a PCW Christmas show suddenly aired causing a few eyebrows to be raised.  The show featured PCW mainstays Rah and Halitosis headlining against The Professional Bad Guys- Hans Grueber and Carl Vreski in a Nakotomi Towers Death Match.”
(REPLAY: PCW Christmas Show- December 2019) Grueber and Vreski send Rah over the top rope to the floor.  Grueber slides out and pulls something out from underneath the ring.  It’s an eight foot by four foot piece of glass.
Johnny Suave: What the hell is he doing?
What he’s doing is setting up the piece of glass in the corner and motioning Vreski to do something with it.  Vreski doesn’t quite understand what Grueber wants him to do and shrugs.
Grueber again motions to the glass- Vreski still doesn’t know what he’s got in mind.  He shrugs again.
Now agitated, Greuber makes an exaggerated motion pointing at the glass.
Again, Vreski doesn’t quite get it.
Finally…
Hans Grueber: SHOOT…THE GLASS!
Grueber positions Halitosis in front of the glass.  Vreski finally gets it.
Carl Vreski: Ohhhhhhhh!
Vreski rushes forward and spears Halitosis right through it, sending glass flying all over the place.
Johnny Suave: Whoa!
Crowd: HOLY *BLEEP*…HOLY *BLEEP*
Tumblr media
Johnny Suave: Hey, that’s Laura Bergman looking on.  She’s Halitosis’s wife.
Rah hits a bulldog and drops ax handles on the back of Vreski.  Then he takes Vreski’s chain and wraps it around his neck.  Vreski frantically tries to get away.  He tries to throw himself out of the ring but the chain catches and hangs him up.
Rah drags Vreski back to the ring and signals it time to sacrifice him to the Temple of the Sunshine God.  He looks over at his faithful worshipers-
Tumblr media
…and they’re not paying attention to what he’s doing.
Rolling his eyes, Rah looks over at McGill- she’s looking at her compact and redoing her lipstick that got mussed up when she Singapore caned Vreski.
Sighing, Rah then turns to the fans at ringside and finally receives the adulation he’s looking for.  He places Vreski’s head between his legs and looks towards the heavens with arms stretched out soaking in the praise and worship of the fans. After receiving the necessary strength, Rah picks Vreski up and drives him down onto the canvas with the Eye of RAHHHHHH (jackknife powerbomb).
Rah walks with a deliberate gait over to Vreski.  He should pin him right then and there but something catches the eyes of the Sunshine God.  In the stands, he sees Hans Grueber with a firm grip on the hand of one Laura Bergman and dragging her up the steps towards the top with him.  A few feet below, Halitosis, bloodied and just a mess, climbs up the steps a few feet behind them.  Rah watches as Grueber reaches the top and sees Joe coming for him.  He threatens to throw Laura off the back of the stands if he takes another step forward.
Laura stomps on Grueber’s foot.  Halitosis lurches forward and unleashes his lethal breath of death on Grueber.  Grueber clutches his throat at the stench and gets perilously close to the edge.  Laura shoves Grueber over the edge but the German grabs on to Laura’s wrist as he topples over and begins to pull her down with him – Joe grabs Laura and holds on for dear life.
Grueber has a hold of her watch.  He tries to reach up with his free hand as Laura feverishly loosens the watchband.  It slips off her wrist and…
Tumblr media
Grueber falls and crashes through two tables that’s been conveniently set up below him.
Johnny Suave: I wonder who put those tables up?
Quick cut to Dawn McGill, filing her nails behind the stands and nodding at her handiwork as Grueber lays in the wreckage of the tables.
*             *             *
Johnny Suave (voiceover): “So as 2020 arrived, McGill was ready to say the hell with it and pull the trigger.  Then she was unceremoniously hauled before the Pelosi-Schiff-Nadler hearings again.”
*             *             *
(PCW Headquarters-Washington D.C. -February 2020)
Johnny Suave (voiceover): “The hearing with the express purpose of determining whether or not Dawn McGill would be removed as the Executive Director of Political Championship Wrestling.  Now, you may be asking yourself: Wait a second.  I thought she owned PCW. Well, let’s go back a few months to May of 2019.”
[REPLAY: 5/2/2019-Donald Trump (R-NY)] The CEO of Political Championship Wrestling Donald Trump explains why the Red Brand and Blue Brand went dark, shows were cancelled, and why PCW ran replays of shows from ten years ago over the past two weeks. Short and to the point, Trump states the current method of doing business with three brands wasn’t working so, he felt it was time to make a change.
Trump reaches under the podium and pulls out an Infinity Gauntlet (ie…the very same Infinity Gauntlet featured in the recent Avengers movie). He places said Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand. Trump raises his hand in the air.
Then he attaches a red stone to the gauntlet. Then he snaps his fingers and says Red Brand is no more. The press- except for most of the Fox News contingent – let out a loud cheer.
Trump then attaches a blue stone to the gauntlet and snaps his fingers and proclaims the Blue Brand. No more. The press- except for most of the Fox News contingent – groan.
Then Trump attaches a white and black stone with PCW written on it to the gauntlet. But this time he doesn’t snap his fingers. Trump announces he made PCW owner Dawn McGill a generous offer for PCW that sets her up for life and she accepted.
So what does that mean? McGill’s investment in trying to keep PCW alive just paid off for her in a big, big way. The Red and Blue Brand will consolidate under PCW. So, who will lead PCW going forward?
Dawn McGill comes out followed by PCW Hall of Famers “No Frills’ Chris Escondido and Justin Sufferable. McGill shakes Trump’s hand as does Escondido and Sufferable.
There’s a disturbance and male voice shouts out: “GET THAT GAUNTLET! THE FATE OF THE POLITICAL UNIVERSE DEPENDS ON IT!”
Suddenly, Captain America (aka Chris Evans dressed in costume), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.- in costume), and Captain Marvel (Brie Larson- in costume) rush towards Trump and his Infinity Gauntlet that’s made the Red Brand and Blue Brand specific shows disappear.
But before they can reach him: Escondido steps in to kick Evans in the balls. He then power slams Evans.
Sufferable chops Downey Jr. with an open hand and drives him to the floor with the Lou Thesz press.
McGill stops Larson in her tracks with a Spinning Heel kick and then follows with the McGill Bomb (sit-out powerbomb).
(END VIDEO)
Sitting at a table cutting a solitary figure with a glass of water placed next to her elbow, Executive Director Dawn McGill faced the stern glare of one Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA).  She wasn’t happy to be there and made sure both Pelosi and Schiff knew it in her opening statement.
Dawn McGill: I said this before but let me make this clear to the Establishment…PCW is not here for you. PCW is here for…THEM…the fans.
Pelosi called the hearing to order following McGill’s opening remarks and Schiff announced that the minutes will be waived.   He announced that he will proceed with questions towards the Executive Director of PCW.
Schiff doesn’t waste time cutting to the chase- he wants to know about the deal Donald Trump made with her in May 2019.
McGill responded directly that the deal was a basic business transaction to bring PCW back under the political universe umbrella while rewarding her for her hard work over the past five years trying to keep PCW alive.
Schiff fired back that he believed it’s easy to connect the dots.  He demands to know if there was any quid pro pro- McGill sold PCW in return for Trump putting an end the Red and Blue Brand shows.
Brushing off Schiff’s challenging demeanor, McGill smiled and then recalled the intense reaction of the Progressive Alliance – most notably Jerry Nadler’s (D-NY) Oversight committee – to the deal made.  Her description of the response was
“predictable.”
youtube
McGill also made sure to recognize that the American Patriots didn’t take the news so well either.
youtube
Schiff continued to press the issue and asked if McGill took into consideration that Trump could be breaking the law by making a deal with her.
With a bemused grin, McGill asked which particular law Schiff was referring to.
Schiff said that’s what they’re trying to find out.
Dawn McGill: Oh? Is that kind of like passing a bill just to see what exactly is in the bill?
Pelosi was not amused.  She brought up the fact that McGill hired back Russian referee Corrina Romanov after previous PCW CEO Barack Obama had fired her after Extreme Election Night 2016 as a striking example of the ‘poor judgment’ McGill has.
McGill retorted she couldn’t help that elements remained inside the Progressive Alliance who still blamed Romanov for Trump defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Before Pelosi can respond to that, McGill also threw in for good measure the fact that Pelosi also continued to be chapped at her because she refused to back down and give in to her demand that the 2020 CEO candidates return to the old way where their candidates would hire surrogate wrestlers to wrestle in their place- unlike in 2016.
Pelosi made sure to reference the match at 2008’s Extreme Election Night between then-champion Starz N. Stripes (now Kevin Scott) – representing John McCain- and challenger O’Beck Bahama- representing Barack Obama- perhaps one the greatest matches ever in PCW history.  She implored McGill to be reasonable and allow a return to that very system.
McGill remained steadfast.  She told Pelosi that both sides have allowed others to fight their battles for too long and maintained 2020 would have the same format of 2016.
Pelosi strenuously objected and called her a puppet- one more reason why she should be impeach- . . . er .  .  . removed as the Executive Director of PCW.
Nancy Pelosi: The people vying to become the next CEO of the Political Universe are not ‘ordinary’ men and women and should not be treated as such.
McGill fired back that regardless of what special privileges she feels they are owed, the fact remained that they are ‘people’ and should be subject to the same rules everyone else is.
Schiff responded it didn’t matter.
Adam Schiff: We’ve received two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion, so profound – and disgusting – that decorum prohibits listing them here.
Schiff declared there is a solution to this problem- the removal of Dawn McGill followed by strict oversight of PCW by Schiff’s and Nadler’s committee.
McGill’s response?
Dawn McGill: Yeah, that’s not happening.
Pelosi threatened McGill that oversight is coming whether she likes it or not and if need be they will personally take control of PCW to ensure that there’s appropriate oversight.
Dawn McGill: Oh?  Like the one Joe Biden was proposing?
(VIDEO: 6/10/2019 PCW Extreme Political TV) Joe Biden’s voice: Perhaps I can be of assistance.
Joe Biden, former Aide de Camp to former PCW CEO Barack Obama (D-IL) and the  twenty-second candidate to declare for the 2020 race, comes out.
He strolls out to the ring and stands behind McGill.
Joe Biden: If I become the next CEO of the Political Universe in 2020, I plan on taking a more ‘hands-on’ approach than Donald Trump has.
As he talks, Biden puts his hands on McGill’s shoulders- much to her surprise…and annoyance.
Joe Biden: Not to say that Ms. McGill-
Dawn McGill (pointedly): Miss!
Joe Biden: …has done a bad job of running PCW…
Biden rubs McGill’s shoulders.
Joe Biden: …but we need a different approach than the one offered by Donald Trump. I plan on bringing a new vision to bring us closer together…
His hands start moving down- much to McGill’s alarm. She finally turns around and whispers something in Biden’s ear.
Joe Biden: …huh?
McGill continues to whisper something to Biden.
Joe Biden: If I don’t stop doing that you’re going to do what?
McGill rolls her eyes and explains to him again what the problem is and what will happen if he doesn’t stop.
Joe Biden: I’m sorry but that seems physically impossible to do- to yourself.
Dawn McGill: How bad do you want to find out?
Biden wisely removes said hands from McGill’s person. (END VIDEO)
Dawn McGill: Yeah. Again, not happening.
Nadler accused her of ‘obstruction’ of his oversight.
Pelosi again threatened to take matters into her own hands if McGill did not acquiesce to her demand.
McGill called herself a businesswoman – an ordinary person trying to make ends meet in an increasingly toxic atmosphere by politicians just like Pelosi and Schiff.
Dawn McGill: Perhaps if Joe didn’t send Hunter Biden to try to buy my silence after he got all handsy on me-
Pelosi quickly cut her off.
Nancy Pelosi: Well, I think we’ve heard enough.
Jerry Nadler: I agree.
Adam Schiff: Let’s finish this damn thing right now!
Dawn McGill: Yes.  Let’s finish this now.
McGill stood up from her chair.
Dawn McGill: We’re not going to sit here and take this from you anymore.  If Dianne Feinstein can leave early, we’re going to leave too.
McGill turned and motioned to the PCW supporters in the hearing room who suddenly prepared to take their leave.
Dawn McGill: Ladies?  Gentlemen?  We’re done here.
And with that, they began to exit from the hearing room while humming ‘The Star Spangled Banner’- kind of like this…
youtube
This, of course, pissed off Pelosi and Schiff to no end.
Nancy Pelosi: Where do you think you’re going?  You’re not walking out on this one!
But they were.  The PCW supporters continued to exit as Schiff banged the gavel on the table and tried to restore order.
Nancy Pelosi: You’ve bought it this time.  You’re finished!
More supporters left while Schiff continued to bang the gavel down on the table.
Nancy Pelosi: I’m taking you down.  I’m taking ALL of you down.
And more supporters streamed from the hearing room.
Nancy Pelosi: No more PCW.
youtube
McGill bent down and furiously scribbled away on a sheet of paper.  Finally she glanced up and faced Pelosi.
Dawn McGill: And just to clarify. When Trump ‘purchased’ PCW, he bought the right to air and produce the show. *I* still own the PCW name. *I* still own the shows and intellectual property. *I* still own the pay per views.
She held up the paper.
Dawn McGill: And with my signature right here on this sheet of paper, I just reclaimed my right to air and produce PCW shows as I see fit.
Pelosi and Schiff’s jaws dropped.
Dawn McGill: You can call this…a wres-xit.
Then she turned and left with the rest.
*             *             *
Johnny Suave (voiceover): “But then COVID happened and like many small businesses, McGill and PCW found themselves shut down while larger, corporate wrestling organizations continued to run.  After running a few house shows in January and February, PCW went dark in 2020.  But that didn’t mean there were forces in play intending to put on Extreme Election 2020 without her.  George Moros and the Coke Brothers- big time billionaires with money to burn on political things- announced in September they planned to run an Extreme Election Night 2020 show in November 2020.  There was just one problem- the nanosecond Dawn McGill caught wind of this scheme, she marched right into a courthouse and initiated legal action.  Suffice to say, Moros and the Coke Brothers were not pleased with her response.  You see, McGill, Moros, and the Coke Brothers had butted heads before…”
(VIDEO: February 2019-After PCW’s D.C. Armory Supershow) It’s late.  The fans have left.  The wrestlers have left.  PCW Owner Dawn McGill finally walks out of the D.C. Armory two and a half hours after the show ends.  She gets into her rental vehicle and pulls out of the parking lot.
Dawn heads north on 19th Street SE and stops at the light at East Capitol Street NE.  Traffic is light and she’s the only one stopped at the intersection.
Her mind occupied, she did not see the pair of headlights coming up fast behind her.
But she felt the impact when the vehicle slammed into the back of her car.  Dawn gets pitched forward but the airbag immediately deploys and the seat belt holds firm.
Four men exit the large SUV equipped with a heavy duty front bumper that easily absorbed the collision.  One man rips open the driver’s door and another one helps him pull a dazed McGill out of the car.  A third man swoops in and places a strip of duct tape over her mouth.  The fourth yanks her arms behind her back and zipties her wrists together.
They drag her back to the SUV and throw her into the back seat.  It’s there she finds out who’s behind this.
The Coke Brothers and George Moros.  Financiers of both factions.
George Moros: We all need to have a little talk here.
Then a cloth hood is placed over her head.
Of course, McGill would respond at the next PCW Extreme Political TV show.
(VIDEO: 2/17/2019-PCW Extreme Political TV) Dawn McGill: I so did not expect to spend my Saturday night after the show ziptied in the back of a SUV.
The crowd boos.  McGill tells them it’s okay.  The Establishment got pissed off at her so she got to go for a little ride around Washington D.C. while Coke Brothers and George Moros tried to intimidate her.
More boos from the PCW fans.
McGill explains the Cokes and Moros were a little upset that PCW got to keep running while the Red and Blue shows were shut down…they impressed on her that PCW could be squashed like a little bug like many other small time, mom and pop, undercapitalized businesses are when they run up against the big boys.
Dawn McGill: They basically wanted me to back down and go away because I was ‘distracting’ people away from their ‘business’…their high priced wrestlers paid for by their high priced money masters.  I told them they could kiss my ass.  Oh…and I also told them they could go *BLEEP* themselves.
The PCW fans stand up and let out a loud, loud cheer,
McGill says that contrary to the spin and the media’s narratives, PCW is doing a lot better than anyone could have imagined.  A lot better.
Dawn McGill: We’re proving that you don’t need corporate money to succeed.  We’re proving that you don’t need a governmental bureaucracy to succeed.  All we need is an equal playing field.  All we want is for everyone to play under the same set of rules.  No special dispensations.  One set of rules for EVERYONE no matter WHO you are!  We’re building PCW from the ground up and we’re doing it ourselves!
The crowd stands and cheers when McGill proclaims that ‘we ain’t going nowhere!’ and *BLEEP* the Establishment!
Johnny Suave (voiceover): “McGill prevailed over Moros and the Coke Brothers and she made sure PCW Extreme Election Night 2020 did in fact take place on November 3rd, 2020.  How would it go?  We’ll find out soon enough.  Thursday December 31st.  PCW presents Extreme Election Night 2020.  Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden.”
PCW EXTREME ELECTION NIGHT 2020
MAIN EVENT: Donald Trump (American Patriots) vs. Joe Biden (Progressive Alliance)- winner becomes the CEO of PCW for the next four years.

Bernie Sanders Had a Problem With MSNBC. Then Came Super Tuesday.
Tumblr media
Two weeks ago, in the bowels of a Las Vegas casino, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont confronted the president of MSNBC, Phil Griffin, with a stern demand: Be fair to me.Mr. Sanders, fresh off his victory in the New Hampshire primary, was fed up with what he considered unfair treatment by the cable network that is required viewing for many Democratic voters. He chided Mr. Griffin before abruptly ending their discussion, according to two people briefed on the exchange.What a difference a Super Tuesday makes.By Wednesday night, hours after Mr. Sanders suffered a string of defeats to his chief rival, Joseph R. Biden Jr., MSNBC viewers were greeted with the sight of Mr. Sanders sitting for a live interview with the network’s most influential host, Rachel Maddow, whose program the senator had avoided since July.“Good to see you, Rachel,” Mr. Sanders said, grinning.It was a striking turnaround by the senator, whose allies often hold up MSNBC as Exhibit A of the “corporate media” that Mr. Sanders likes to condemn. His campaign agreed to the Maddow interview after digesting Tuesday’s results, prompting the anchor to rush to Burlington, Vt., in time for the 9 p.m. broadcast.Now Mr. Sanders’s campaign is in final discussions with MSNBC to appear on the network for a prime-time town hall before the next round of primary voters go to the polls on Tuesday, according to a person briefed on the discussions.It would be Mr. Sanders’s first MSNBC town hall in nearly four years. The network had a longstanding invitation, but the senator — whose campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, once dismissed the network’s coverage as “terrible” — had declined the offer until now.Mr. Sanders’s sudden embrace of MSNBC seemed to signal a newfound need to engage with a broader swath of a Democratic electorate that is rapidly coalescing around his opponent.And it was an unlikely turn for the cable network just days after one of its longtime stars, the anchor Chris Matthews, was forced to resign.Once a beloved safe space for Trump-weary Democrats seeking solace in the monologues of Ms. Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, MSNBC has faced ire from the activist left throughout the 2020 campaign. These critics have faulted the network’s stars for advancing an “establishment” view, citing former Republicans like Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace, a former spokeswoman for George W. Bush and Sarah Palin.MSNBC says the network covers the Democratic field fairly, not fawningly, and rejects any claims of anti-Sanders bias.But Mr. Sanders’s supporters and other Democrats critical of the party’s moderate wing complain that MSNBC is out of step with the current state of Democratic politics. Some MSNBC anchors who have warned against socialist policies — Mr. Matthews, for instance, suggested a socialist leader would order executions in Central Park — have been dismissed as elites standing in the way of progress.When Mr. Matthews, in a clumsy on-air exchange, compared Mr. Sanders’s victory in the Nevada caucuses to the Nazi invasion of France, it caused a firestorm. Aides to Mr. Sanders, who had family members killed in the Holocaust, savaged Mr. Matthews, and the anchor later apologized.“The party is split between progressives and moderates, and that’s the tension we’re seeing at a channel that appeals to Democrats,” said Andrew Heyward, a former president of CBS News who teaches at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Arizona.“MSNBC has been comfort food for people who are very upset with the Trump era,” Mr. Heyward continued. “It gets much more complicated when you have to think about the alternative.”Plenty is on the line: In the Trump years, MSNBC’s net advertising revenue has nearly tripled, to $614 million last year from $212 million in 2014, according to Kagan, a media research firm. MSNBC also raked in $546 million in profit versus the $181 million it made in 2014, Kagan said.Fox News faced a similar problem in 2015, when another populist candidate, Donald J. Trump, shocked establishment Republicans and openly mocked the network’s stars.Mr. Trump feuded with the anchor Megyn Kelly and even boycotted one of the network’s debates. Fox News commentary gradually moved Trumpward, jettisoning traditional Republican regulars like George Will and hiring pro-Trump opinion hosts like Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin.As Mr. Sanders notched victories in the early-voting states, it seemed like MSNBC could be heading toward a similar intraparty dust-up.In Las Vegas last month, Mr. Sanders’s complaints to Mr. Griffin, the MSNBC president, were so animated that afterward, the senator’s wife, Jane Sanders, offered conciliatory words to the network executive, according to the two people briefed on the exchange.And Sanders supporters might have found some grist for their complaints on Tuesday, when MSNBC featured Biden allies like Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina. “That guy literally saved the Democratic Party,” James Carville told viewers, speaking of Mr. Clyburn’s endorsement of Mr. Biden ahead of the South Carolina primary.But Mr. Sanders’s tough night on Tuesday — and Mr. Biden’s comeback — could begin a new phase in the relationship between the candidate and the network.In her interview in Burlington on Wednesday, which took up the whole show, Ms. Maddow challenged Mr. Sanders about his poor showing with African-American voters on Tuesday and asked how he planned to improve turnout among his supporters. She also expressed her gratitude to the senator for appearing on the show.“Thanks for coming to Vermont,” Mr. Sanders replied gamely.“Of course!” Ms. Maddow said. “Any excuse.”Then it was time for the anchor to exert her network’s influence on a different candidate.“We are also trying and doing our damnedest to get an interview with Vice President Joe Biden, who is the other front-runner in this campaign, who I have not yet talked to over the course of this campaign,” Ms. Maddow told her viewers. “And would really love to.” Read the full article

Hidey-Ho from the SOL, as apparently you guys enjoyed me subjecting myself to watching some of Auburn’s worst wins in its storied history. So what’s say we do it again! If you missed last week’s stink burger, you can check that out here, but this week’s selection is a nasty piece of cheese that reminds us why Auburn needs a quarterback of the dual threat variety, why we can’t stand Rod Gilmore and, while we have the Coach O now, how much we really miss Les Miles coaching decisions. Let’s head in to the theater and dissect the 2016 Auburn vs #18 LSU game!
PREGAME
Auburn had…struggled let’s call it…out of the gate with a powerful win over Arkansas State but stumbled against #2 Clemson and #17 Texas A&M (all 3 games at home). The natives had become restless and a movement was building to force Gus out should he drop another home game to another ranked team.
On the other side of the field, LSU had started the year in the top 5 but dropped its season opener to Wisconsin at Lambeau and then ho-hummed their way past Jacksonville St and Mississippi State. Like in Auburn, the natives were restless as the storm clouds built around this ball game. So with all that in mind, let’s hit play.
THE GAME
With the history of this game, you would expect ESPN to have the voices of a generation on the call for this one. I mean hell! This is the spot that Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried had for almost 2 decades. Children will grow up, wanting to emulate the two people that they hear on the call for a game like this!
Tumblr media
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALMIGHTY! WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME!!!! MARK JONES AND ROD GILMORE!!!
Ok…ok…at least there is an Alyssa Lang, Olivia Harlan, Laura Rutledge or Kaylee Hartung on the sidelines to help me get through this one…
Tumblr media
DAMN IT ALL TO HELL! It’s like James Carville and Scut Farkus from A Christmas Story had a baby and threw him in a Joseph A Bank shirt!
*gulp of Woodford*
Brown Party Liquor, you have to get me through this one on your own.
And we begin with Auburn taking the opening kickoff and racing for 9 yards before a punt where LSU see’s their 3 and out and calls for their own 3 and out. Auburn, not to be out done, counters with this…
In fact, Auburn has somewhat mastered this play so far in the early season
Tumblr media
Shockingly, Auburn would punt after that and give it back to LSU. As we come back from break, Rod Gilmore is less than impressed with Auburn’s pregame ceremony.
YOU BETTER GET THAT EAGLE TO KILL A LIVE MOUSE ON THE FIELD TO MAKE ROD GILMORE STAND UP AND PAY ATTENTION! Meanwhile, apparently, LSU has somewhat forgotten that they have Leonard Fournette as he has only gotten a couple of carries for a few yards, but Auburn has clamped down on him for the most part, but LSU has been attacking from the air!
I mean, sure, there was a guy in a white jersey there, and sure, normally if the ball is in the air with Auburn corner’s around, there is a good shot the other team is going to come down with it. However, Auburn has three secondary defenders around the receiver….Etling definitely does not ‘HAVE A GUY’, Mark…
LSU would punt and give it to Auburn at their own 48. Note the 1st down play…
Tumblr media
This is the first play of the drive and Auburn has their FG Line Target on the screen. This should have been a heads up of what we were in store for. Auburn would pick up a few yards but…say it with me…would settle for the Field Goal from the MVP.
Auburn would kick it off, so LSU from the 25, and all the sudden the ground game got going.
Derrius Guice gets the big pickup and that would set up LSU to get their first points of the day…maybe.
I mean…I am no expert, but who was more in the endzone…Foster Moreau here or Aaron Murray in 2013?
Tumblr media
Cause I say neither…ANY WHO…LSU takes the lead 7-3. Auburn would take the next drive and drive down deep in to LSU territory to…settle…for a….Field Goal.
Again….
LSU would look to answer and took it from the 25 down in to Auburn territory before Mr. Lawson would apply the breaks to the drive.
Which directly led to…
So, Auburn would have it from their own 34…and would wiggle their way down…into….LSU…territory...
9-7 Auburn takes the lead. LSU would take the ensuing drive and would have to punt it away, to the Auburn 19. Auburn would begin a march to finish the half and had it 4th and goal at the LSU 1.
And that’s how the half would end at 9-7.
After a fruitless drive to start the half, LSU would punt and Auburn took it from their own 14. Some nifty run and pass plays get Auburn down for yet another…
Auburn takes a powerfull 12-7 lead over LSU. And it’s time for the kickoff…
IN THE FACE!!!!! Yup, this is the game that led to a Tosh.0 episode for that young lady. I also love how Mark and Rod both completely missed what happened even though there is an audible gasp from the crowd…way to watch guys.
LSU would take it from the 25 and got some good chunk plays to get close enough for a field goal.
Mark it up to a 12-10 Auburn lead. And as long as the defense stays up and the offense can keep from making mistakes…
Well damn it. LSU gets it from the 16 but dang if that defense doesn’t tighten up and holds LSU to another FG attempt.
WHAT IS TOUCHDOWN? WILL I EVER SEE ONE AGAIN??
Auburn would start the series from the 25 and would begin the march down the field to try and take back the lead. It would come down to a 3rd down play to extend the series.
And Auburn went with the Field Goal…again.
Laugh at it or not, Daniel Carlson is a man and that he never won the Lou Groza Award is a damn travesty.
LSU would get it from the 25 and move right down the field before
Etling would apparently forget you have to hold on to the ball BEFORE you hand it off to Forney.
Auburn would get it at their own 31 and look to put this one away. Three plays later they would puntto the LSU 30. LSU wouldn’t be out done and would punt 3 plays after that. Auburn then took it from the 37 and march past they 50 which meant they were in Carlson’s range.
Auburn takes the lead 18-13 with a couple minutes left.
LSU has to score on this drive and, for it, I can sort of tell how a drive is going to go by the first play.
Well that looks like it will go well. That was like a 3 year old saying no to a plate of broccoli!
Against all odds though, the boys from Red Stick would march down inside the Auburn redzone to try and get the clinching TD. What happens next is too much for me to describe…so here it is in its entirety.
So yeah….it definitely made up for the prior 59:45 seconds but I really want to dive it to one part of that if we can.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT ROD! YOU CAN’T TELL IF THE SNAP IS OFF BECAUSE HE’S UNDER CENTER?! Look at the center’s arm when the clock is at 0:00…has it moved? No? Then the game is over. I hate to bring up Nick for the second week in a row (no I don’t) but this a perfect example of what LSU needed to do here…the whistle blew…they waited…then snapped and the game is over. Against Alabama, Auburn heard the whistle, snapped right then, Field Goal is good. ESPN, can we please get Rod off calling football games. Please…I can’t take that anymore. Have him do Slippery Stairs contests or the Electrical Workers National Championships…Anything but meaningful football…especially games I will be watching. Please.
THE AFTERGLOW
Following all that, Auburn would find its identity offensively in the person of Kam Pettway as the Tigers reeled off 6 straight wins, including the LSU win. Pettway would get banged up in the Vanderbilt game and Auburn would finish the regular season off with 2 SEC losses. They would however get to the Sugar Bowl against #7 Oklahoma and drop that one 35-19 to finish the season at 8-5 and ranked 24th in the country. While Auburn stumbled at the end of the season against its two biggest rivals, the power that be would decide to hold on to Malzahn after going to the Sugar Bowl.
LSU, on the other hand, would fire Les and OC Cam Cameron the day after this game. In his place, the Tigers would put Ed Orgeron and we all know how that’s going. In 2016 though, LSU would go 6-2 under Coach O with losses to only Alabama and Florida and would cap off the season with a victory in the Citrus Bowl over #15 Louisville as the Tigers ended with an 8-4 record and finished ranked 13th in the country

The same mosquito species that transmits Zika also transmits Dengue. It’s confined primarily to Florida, South Florida, along the Gulf states and Southern Texas with a few small populations in Arizona and California. – Laura Harrington • I was nicknamed ‘Skeeter’ in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield. – Skeet Ulrich • I was very obsessed with Ruth Gordon. I really didn’t foresee me having any type of career as a leading lady at all because it was just blonds. I just wasn’t the type – I was told that by casting directors. I auditioned for Running on Empty [1988] and The Mosquito Coast [1986], and Martha Plimpton was just killing me. – Winona Ryder • I would take all the precautions, I’m going to bring my natural remedies, keep the mosquitoes away naturally and I’m going to bring my DEET. I’m going to do my part. And again, it’s something, when a baby is involved you don’t want to take any risks. So I would just exercise a lot of caution and do my part and then get tested and go for it. – Kerri Walsh • If a mosquito has a soul, it is mostly evil. So I don’t have too many qualms about putting a mosquito out of its misery. I’m a little more respectful of ants. – Douglas Hofstadter • If Ali says a mosquito can pull a plow, don’t ask how. Hitch him up. – Muhammad Ali • If only Africa had more mosquito nets then every year we could save millions of mosquitoes from dying needlessly of aids. – Jimmy Carr • If we walk in the woods, we must feed mosquitoes. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • If you don’t believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito. – Anita Roddick • If you think about it, every single species is endangered. Homo sapiens at the front of the line, mosquitoes and lawyers at the back. – Henry Rollins • I’m like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don’t sweat. – Shakira • In a way, the whole music industry is just catering to the inherent esteem issues all these artists have – it lays it all out on the line and baits the artist, like a light baits a mosquito. And you go right into it. With every comment on the internet, you go up, you go down, and it’s a big shitshow full of uneducated people. – Willis Earl Beal • in stillness, I watched myselfget eaten by mosquitoes… the itch was maddening at first but eventually it just melded into a general burning feeling and i rode that heat to a mld euphoria. I allowed the pain to lose its specific associations and become pure sensation… and that eventually lifted me out of myself and into meditation. – Elizabeth Gilbert • In the South Pacific, because of their size, mosquitoes are required to file flight plans. – Erma Bombeck • Insects have their own point of view about civilization a man thinks he amounts to a great deal but to a flea or a mosquito a human being is merely something good to eat. – Don Marquis • Insects influenced the shape of the Australian house. Some, like the white ant and lthe Lyctus borer, worked quietly and invisibly until a little shower of yellow dust or a sudden collapse indicated their presence. Others, like the mosquito and housefly, were less dangerous and more objectionable. The former type influenced structure in minor ways; the latter affected planning to a major degree. – Robin Boyd • It’s lovely having grass and trees and flowers(Of course, at times, mosquitoes are a pest).Yes, life is life out here in Rangely Towers(Of course Some People like the city best)! – Arthur Guiterman • It’s very freaky in Chicago.There’s something in the water there, I don’t know what it is. But the actual word Chicago means, in the Indian language, garlic. It was just garlic and mosquitoes there. And that is the roughest city on the planet, and I been to every place in the world. – Quincy Jones • I’ve just been bitten on the neck by a vampire… mosquito. Does that mean that when the night comes I will rise and be annoying? – Vera Nazarian • Late in August the lure of the mountains becomes irresistible. Seared by the everlasting sunfire, I want to see running water again, embrace a pine tree, cut my initials in the bark of an aspen, get bit by a mosquito, see a mountain bluebird, find a big blue columbine, get lost in the firs, hike above timberline, sunbathe on snow and eat some ice, climb the rocks and stand in the wind at the top of the world on the peak of Tukuhnikivats. – Edward Abbey • Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry,-determine to make a day of it. – Henry David Thoreau • Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. – Henry David Thoreau • Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru. – Joko Beck • Life is a hailstorm of distractions. It’s not the monster that stops us but the mosquito. – Robert G. Allen • Like letting spiders live because they eat mosquitoes, Clary thought. “So they’re good enough to let live, good enough to make your food for you, good enough to flirt with-but not really good enough? I mean, not as good as people. – Cassandra Clare • Many diseases including malaria, dengue, meningitis – just a few examples – these are what we call climate-sensitive diseases, because such climate dimensions for rainfall, humidity and temperature would influence the epidemics, the outbreaks, either directly influencing the parasites or the mosquitoes that carry them. – Margaret Chan • Mosquito […] had asked Ear to marry him, whereupon Ear fell on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. “How much longer do you think you will live?” she asked. “You are already a skeleton.” Mosquito went away humiliated, and any time he passed her way he told Ear that he was still alive. – Chinua Achebe • Mosquito bites Jesus, receives communion. – Demetri Martin • Mosquitoes are the greatest mass murderers on planet Earth. – Katherine Applegate • Mosquitoes can ruin the hunt for big game. – David Allen • Mosquitoes were using my ankles as filling stations. – Cornelia Otis Skinner • Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me – Robin Wright • Most of the pollution in the water already is dead animal and plant matter and building debris, … good stagnant nursery for mosquitoes. – James Wright • Music as background to me becomes like a mosquito, an insect. In the studio we have big speakers, and to me that’s the way music should be listened to. When I listen to music, I want to just listen to music. – David Lynch • My men have suffered greatly (from boredom), much blood has been shed (by mosquitoes), and I have swung my ax mightily (chopping firewood). Surely we have earned our place in the annals of history—for never has there been so little war in a war. – Seth Grahame-Smith • My painting is not violent, it’s life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death. – Francis Bacon • No matter how good you are at sneaking, you can’t ever sneak well enough so that mosquitoes won’t find you, and no matter how worried and tense you are, or how hard you are trying to pay attention, you just can’t help noticing when a cloud of mosquitoes comes for you like you’re their first good meal since last fall. – Patricia C. Wrede • Not a lot of attention has been paid to the Asian tiger mosquito, which is another species which we believe can also transmit Zika virus. It has a much broader range. It’s found all the way north into coastal areas of Connecticut, Long Island and the New York metro area. – Laura Harrington • Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, briar scarred, sunburned, mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been less than in a place that was less than beautiful. – Charles Kuralt • Old muleskinners told how the mules were waiting at the shaft when they arrived each morning. They wanted relief from the heat, deerflies and mosquitoes just like the men. – Harry Anderson • On what bugged him, A fine city with too many socialists and mosquitoes. At least you can spray the mosquitoes. – Ralph Klein • One can summon courage and fortitude to face tragedy; irritations and frustrations are a cloud of mosquitoes that nip and sting and drive one frantic. – Edna Ferber • People who say that small things don’t bother them have never slept in a room with a mosquito. – Dennis Rainey • Places like Hilton Head, with water adjacency and nice climates, are in high demand, and land values are insane. In the case of Hilton Head, which was developed in 1970 on what had been a mosquito- and alligator-infested swampy barrier island, land value has leaped from nearly zero to now unaffordable. – Susan Orlean • Remember what I said about the mosquitoes?” “Which part” asked Maggie. “The scary part, the really scary part, the legitimately terrifying part, or the part that makes suicide sound like an awesome way to spend the evening? – Mira Grant • Scientists still know less about what attracts men than they do about what attracts mosquitoes. – Joyce Brothers • She asked him to come and see her that night. He agreed, in order to get away, knowing that he was incapable of going. But that night, in his burning bed, he understood that he had to go see her, even if he were not capable. He got dressed by feel, listening in the dark to his brother’s calm breathing, the dry cough of his father in the next room, the asthma of the hens in the courtyard, the buzz of the mosquitoes, the beating of his heart, and the inordinate bustle of a world that he had not noticed until then, and he went out in the sleeping street. – Gabriel Garcia Marquez • She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king. There was no beauty without risk. No life without it. – Nora Roberts • So many ideas come to you and you want to try them all, but you can’t. You’re like a mosquito in a nudist colony, you don’t know where to start. – Reggie Jackson • So, that was Nature’s way. The mosquito felt pain and panic but the dragonfly knew nothing of cruelty. Humans would call it evil, the big dragonfly destroying the mosquito and ignoring the little insects suffering. Yet humans hated mosquitoes too, calling them vicious and bloodthirsty. All these words, words like ‘evil’ and ‘vicious’, they meant nothing to Nature. Yes, evil was a human invention. – John Marsden • Socialism is, among other things, the political habitat of low self-esteem, incompetence, self-loathing, and a willingness to steal – or have stolen for you what you are unable or unwilling to work for. Socialism is a philosophy fit only for slugs, leaches, and mosquitoes. – L. Neil Smith • Some have supposed that the mosquito is of a devout turn, and never will partake of a meal without first saying grace. The devotions of some men are but a preface to blood-sucking. – Henry Ward Beecher • Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening – she makes one. – Kirk Kirkpatrick • The Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue fever and yellow fever, has traditionally been unable to survive at altitudes higher than 1,000 meters because of colder temperatures there. But with recent warming trends, those mosquitoes have now been reported at 1,240 meters in Costa Rica and at 2,200 meters in Columbia. Malaria-bearing mosquitoes, too, have moved to higher elevations in central Africa, Asia, and parts of Latin America, triggering new outbreaks of the disease. – Ross Gelbspan • The belief is growing on me that the disease is communicated by the bite of the mosquito. … She always injects a small quantity of fluid with her bite-what if the parasites get into the system in this manner. – Ronald Ross • The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito. – Benito Mussolini • The greatest mercy, I have often thought, of the Mediterranean coast lies in its mosquitoes. Did we not suffer from their unwelcome attention, we could not bear our holidays to end. – Winifred Holtby • The implied threat of using nuclear weapons to curb guerrillas was as absurd as to talk of using a sledge hammer to ward off a swarm of mosquitoes. – B. H. Liddell Hart • The lumbermen…regarded forest devastation as normal and second growth as a delusion of fools….And as for sustained yield, no such idea had ever entered their heads. The few friends the forest had were spoken of, when they were spoken of at all, as impractical theorists, fanatics, or “denudatics,” more or less touched in the head. What talk there was about forest protection was no more to the average American that the buzzing of a mosquito, and just about as irritating. – Gifford Pinchot • The marsh, to him who enters it in a receptive mood, holds, besides mosquitoes and stagnation, melody, the mystery of unknown waters, and the sweetness of Nature undisturbed by man. – William Beebe • The mosquito is the state bird of New Jersey. – Andy Warhol • The mosquitoes here are big enough to rape a chicken. – Elizabeth Gilbert • The parasite that causes malaria edges through the cells of the stomach wall of the mosquito and forms a cyst which grows and eventually bursts to release hundreds of sporozoites into the body cavity of the mosquito … As far as we can tell, the parasite does not harm the mosquito … It has always seemed to me, though, that these growing cysts … must at least give the mosquito something corresponding to a stomach-ache. – Marston Bates • The scary thing about the future… there will be tiny cameras everywhere, and they’ll be flying around like mosquitoes and drones. That will be bad. Drones are scary. You can’t reason with a drone. – Matt Groening • The spider is an animal who eats mosquitoes. That’s why I love the spider – it is the only way we have to deal with these insects. – Louise Bourgeois • The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. . . Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother. – Louise Bourgeois • The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The tool that’s most associated with the recent progress against malaria is the long-lasting bed net. Bed nets are a fantastic innovation. But we can do even better. We can invent new ways to control the mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite. – Bill Gates • There is neither a proportional relationship, nor an inverse one, between a writer’s estimation of a work in progress & its actual quality. The feeling that the work is magnificent, & the feeling that it is abominable, are both mosquitoes to be repelled, ignored, or killed, but not indulged. – Annie Dillard • There is one distinctive charm about fishing – its fascinations will stand any climate. You may sit crouching on ice over a hole inside the arctic circle, or on a Windsor chair by the side of the River Lea in the so-called temperate zone, or you may squat in a canoe on an equatorial river, with the surrounding atmosphere forty-five percent mosquito, and if you are fishing you will enjoy yourself. – Mary Kingsley • There was once a Hindu sage, who sat down on the banks of the Ganges and thought for seventy years about the millennium. Just as he arrived at the solution and was putting it into verse, a mosquito stung him and he forgot it again at once. – Don Marquis • This day relenting God Hath placed within my hand A wondrous thing; and God Be praised. At His command, Seeking His secret deeds With tears and toiling breath, I find thy cunning seeds, O million-murdering Death. I know this little thing A myriad men will save. O Death, where is thy sting? Thy victory, O Grave? Poem he wrote following the discovery that the malaria parasite was carried by the amopheline mosquito. – Ronald Ross • This morning, you have a choice. You can lay in the dark replaying the awful events of the week, or you can turn the light on and read God’s Word-His truth-which is the best thing to do when lies are swarming and painful thoughts are attacking like a bunch of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. – Lysa TerKeurst • To me, there is nothing more soothing than the song of a mosquito that cant get through the mesh to bite you. – Madison Smartt Bell • We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood. – U.G. Krishnamurti • We can send people to the Moon; we can see if there’s life on Mars – why can’t we get $5 [mosquito] nets to 500 million people? – Jacqueline Novogratz • We don’t like to think of ourselves as prey—it is a lessening thought—but the truth is that in our arrogance and so-called knowledge we forget that we are not unique. We are part of nature as much as other animals, and some animals—sharks, fever-bearing mosquitoes, wolves and bear, to name but a few—perceive us as a food source, a meat supply, and simply did not get the memo about how humans are superior. It can be shocking, humbling, painful, very edifying and sometimes downright fatal to run into such an animal. – Gary Paulsen • we have to suffer mosquitoes the size of blackbirds. – Rebecca Wells • We living beings, right down to crickets, ants, mosquitoes , and flies, all possess life that is without beginning or end. – Gautama Buddha • We must either rearrange this unstable universe or we must exit from here!

It was probably a virgin too. – Kelley Armstrong • Well do I remember that dark hot little office in the hospital at Begumpett, with the necessary gleam of light coming in from under the eaves of the veranda. I did not allow the punka to be used because it blew about my dissected mosquitoes, which were partly examined without a cover-glass; and the result was that swarms of flies and of ‘eye-flies’ – minute little insects which try to get into one’s ears and eyelids – tormented me at their pleasure – Ronald Ross • When we got to our hotel rooms, mosquitoes as big as George Foreman were waiting for us. They were sitting in armchairs with their legs crossed. – Mel Brooks • Whether one sees the world as God’s creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito. – Robert C. Solomon • You can never be an artist if your work comes without effort. That is the problem with modernink from a bottle. You do not have to think. You simply write what is swimming on the top of your brain. And the top is nothing but pond scum, dead leaves, and mosquito spawn. – Amy Tan • You don’t hate the mosquito; you just want it out of your face. – Simon Cowell • You have mosquitoes. I have the Press. – Prince Philip • You know the beauty of driving one of these? (Wulf) No. (Cassandra) You can swat a Daimon like a mosquito.

I didn’t know where to begin. – Pee Wee Reese • Considering their impact, you might expect mosquitoes to get more attention than they do.

Even to the least-loved mosquitoes I gave many a meal, and told them to go in peace. – John Muir • I am a hopeless materialist.

So I would just exercise a lot of caution and do my part and then get tested and go for it. – Kerri Walsh • If a mosquito has a soul, it is mostly evil.

Seared by the everlasting sunfire, I want to see running water again, embrace a pine tree, cut my initials in the bark of an aspen, get bit by a mosquito, see a mountain bluebird, find a big blue columbine, get lost in the firs, hike above timberline, sunbathe on snow and eat some ice, climb the rocks and stand in the wind at the top of the world on the peak of Tukuhnikivats. – Edward Abbey • Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry,-determine to make a day of it. – Henry David Thoreau • Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. – Henry David Thoreau • Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru. – Joko Beck • Life is a hailstorm of distractions. It’s not the monster that stops us but the mosquito. – Robert G. Allen • Like letting spiders live because they eat mosquitoes, Clary thought. “So they’re good enough to let live, good enough to make your food for you, good enough to flirt with-but not really good enough? I mean, not as good as people. – Cassandra Clare • Many diseases including malaria, dengue, meningitis – just a few examples – these are what we call climate-sensitive diseases, because such climate dimensions for rainfall, humidity and temperature would influence the epidemics, the outbreaks, either directly influencing the parasites or the mosquitoes that carry them. – Margaret Chan • Mosquito […] had asked Ear to marry him, whereupon Ear fell on the floor in uncontrollable laughter. “How much longer do you think you will live?” she asked. “You are already a skeleton.” Mosquito went away humiliated, and any time he passed her way he told Ear that he was still alive. – Chinua Achebe • Mosquito bites Jesus, receives communion. – Demetri Martin • Mosquitoes are the greatest mass murderers on planet Earth. – Katherine Applegate • Mosquitoes can ruin the hunt for big game. – David Allen • Mosquitoes were using my ankles as filling stations. – Cornelia Otis Skinner • Most of my memories of Texas are of mosquitoes, watermelons, crickets, and my brother teasing me – Robin Wright • Most of the pollution in the water already is dead animal and plant matter and building debris, … good stagnant nursery for mosquitoes. – James Wright • Music as background to me becomes like a mosquito, an insect. In the studio we have big speakers, and to me that’s the way music should be listened to. When I listen to music, I want to just listen to music. – David Lynch • My men have suffered greatly (from boredom), much blood has been shed (by mosquitoes), and I have swung my ax mightily (chopping firewood). Surely we have earned our place in the annals of history—for never has there been so little war in a war. – Seth Grahame-Smith • My painting is not violent, it’s life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death. – Francis Bacon • No matter how good you are at sneaking, you can’t ever sneak well enough so that mosquitoes won’t find you, and no matter how worried and tense you are, or how hard you are trying to pay attention, you just can’t help noticing when a cloud of mosquitoes comes for you like you’re their first good meal since last fall. – Patricia C. Wrede • Not a lot of attention has been paid to the Asian tiger mosquito, which is another species which we believe can also transmit Zika virus. It has a much broader range. It’s found all the way north into coastal areas of Connecticut, Long Island and the New York metro area. – Laura Harrington • Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, briar scarred, sunburned, mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been less than in a place that was less than beautiful. – Charles Kuralt • Old muleskinners told how the mules were waiting at the shaft when they arrived each morning. They wanted relief from the heat, deerflies and mosquitoes just like the men. – Harry Anderson • On what bugged him, A fine city with too many socialists and mosquitoes. At least you can spray the mosquitoes. – Ralph Klein • One can summon courage and fortitude to face tragedy; irritations and frustrations are a cloud of mosquitoes that nip and sting and drive one frantic. – Edna Ferber • People who say that small things don’t bother them have never slept in a room with a mosquito. – Dennis Rainey • Places like Hilton Head, with water adjacency and nice climates, are in high demand, and land values are insane. In the case of Hilton Head, which was developed in 1970 on what had been a mosquito- and alligator-infested swampy barrier island, land value has leaped from nearly zero to now unaffordable. – Susan Orlean • Remember what I said about the mosquitoes?” “Which part” asked Maggie. “The scary part, the really scary part, the legitimately terrifying part, or the part that makes suicide sound like an awesome way to spend the evening? – Mira Grant • Scientists still know less about what attracts men than they do about what attracts mosquitoes. – Joyce Brothers • She asked him to come and see her that night. He agreed, in order to get away, knowing that he was incapable of going. But that night, in his burning bed, he understood that he had to go see her, even if he were not capable. He got dressed by feel, listening in the dark to his brother’s calm breathing, the dry cough of his father in the next room, the asthma of the hens in the courtyard, the buzz of the mosquitoes, the beating of his heart, and the inordinate bustle of a world that he had not noticed until then, and he went out in the sleeping street. – Gabriel Garcia Marquez • She gazed toward the marsh that grew thicker, deeper, greener with approaching summer. Mosquitoes whined in there, breeding in the dark water. Alligators slid through it, silent death. It was a place where snakes could slither and bogs could suck the shoe right off your foot. And it was a place, she thought, that went bright and beautiful with the twinkling of fireflies, where wildflowers thrived in the shade and the stingy light. Where an eagle could soar like a king. There was no beauty without risk. No life without it. – Nora Roberts • So many ideas come to you and you want to try them all, but you can’t. You’re like a mosquito in a nudist colony, you don’t know where to start. – Reggie Jackson • So, that was Nature’s way. The mosquito felt pain and panic but the dragonfly knew nothing of cruelty. Humans would call it evil, the big dragonfly destroying the mosquito and ignoring the little insects suffering. Yet humans hated mosquitoes too, calling them vicious and bloodthirsty. All these words, words like ‘evil’ and ‘vicious’, they meant nothing to Nature. Yes, evil was a human invention. – John Marsden • Socialism is, among other things, the political habitat of low self-esteem, incompetence, self-loathing, and a willingness to steal – or have stolen for you what you are unable or unwilling to work for. Socialism is a philosophy fit only for slugs, leaches, and mosquitoes. – L. Neil Smith • Some have supposed that the mosquito is of a devout turn, and never will partake of a meal without first saying grace. The devotions of some men are but a preface to blood-sucking. – Henry Ward Beecher • Take a lesson from the mosquito. She never waits for an opening – she makes one. – Kirk Kirkpatrick • The Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads dengue fever and yellow fever, has traditionally been unable to survive at altitudes higher than 1,000 meters because of colder temperatures there. But with recent warming trends, those mosquitoes have now been reported at 1,240 meters in Costa Rica and at 2,200 meters in Columbia. Malaria-bearing mosquitoes, too, have moved to higher elevations in central Africa, Asia, and parts of Latin America, triggering new outbreaks of the disease. – Ross Gelbspan • The belief is growing on me that the disease is communicated by the bite of the mosquito. … She always injects a small quantity of fluid with her bite-what if the parasites get into the system in this manner. – Ronald Ross • The best blood will at some time get into a fool or a mosquito. – Benito Mussolini • The greatest mercy, I have often thought, of the Mediterranean coast lies in its mosquitoes. Did we not suffer from their unwelcome attention, we could not bear our holidays to end. – Winifred Holtby • The implied threat of using nuclear weapons to curb guerrillas was as absurd as to talk of using a sledge hammer to ward off a swarm of mosquitoes. – B. H. Liddell Hart • The lumbermen…regarded forest devastation as normal and second growth as a delusion of fools….And as for sustained yield, no such idea had ever entered their heads. The few friends the forest had were spoken of, when they were spoken of at all, as impractical theorists, fanatics, or “denudatics,” more or less touched in the head. What talk there was about forest protection was no more to the average American that the buzzing of a mosquito, and just about as irritating. – Gifford Pinchot • The marsh, to him who enters it in a receptive mood, holds, besides mosquitoes and stagnation, melody, the mystery of unknown waters, and the sweetness of Nature undisturbed by man. – William Beebe • The mosquito is the state bird of New Jersey. – Andy Warhol • The mosquitoes here are big enough to rape a chicken. – Elizabeth Gilbert • The parasite that causes malaria edges through the cells of the stomach wall of the mosquito and forms a cyst which grows and eventually bursts to release hundreds of sporozoites into the body cavity of the mosquito … As far as we can tell, the parasite does not harm the mosquito … It has always seemed to me, though, that these growing cysts … must at least give the mosquito something corresponding to a stomach-ache. – Marston Bates • The scary thing about the future… there will be tiny cameras everywhere, and they’ll be flying around like mosquitoes and drones. That will be bad. Drones are scary. You can’t reason with a drone. – Matt Groening • The spider is an animal who eats mosquitoes. That’s why I love the spider – it is the only way we have to deal with these insects. – Louise Bourgeois • The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. . . Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother. – Louise Bourgeois • The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people. – Ralph Waldo Emerson • The tool that’s most associated with the recent progress against malaria is the long-lasting bed net. Bed nets are a fantastic innovation. But we can do even better. We can invent new ways to control the mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite. – Bill Gates • There is neither a proportional relationship, nor an inverse one, between a writer’s estimation of a work in progress & its actual quality. The feeling that the work is magnificent, & the feeling that it is abominable, are both mosquitoes to be repelled, ignored, or killed, but not indulged. – Annie Dillard • There is one distinctive charm about fishing – its fascinations will stand any climate. You may sit crouching on ice over a hole inside the arctic circle, or on a Windsor chair by the side of the River Lea in the so-called temperate zone, or you may squat in a canoe on an equatorial river, with the surrounding atmosphere forty-five percent mosquito, and if you are fishing you will enjoy yourself. – Mary Kingsley • There was once a Hindu sage, who sat down on the banks of the Ganges and thought for seventy years about the millennium. Just as he arrived at the solution and was putting it into verse, a mosquito stung him and he forgot it again at once. – Don Marquis • This day relenting God Hath placed within my hand A wondrous thing; and God Be praised. At His command, Seeking His secret deeds With tears and toiling breath, I find thy cunning seeds, O million-murdering Death. I know this little thing A myriad men will save. O Death, where is thy sting? Thy victory, O Grave? Poem he wrote following the discovery that the malaria parasite was carried by the amopheline mosquito. – Ronald Ross • This morning, you have a choice. You can lay in the dark replaying the awful events of the week, or you can turn the light on and read God’s Word-His truth-which is the best thing to do when lies are swarming and painful thoughts are attacking like a bunch of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. – Lysa TerKeurst • To me, there is nothing more soothing than the song of a mosquito that cant get through the mesh to bite you. – Madison Smartt Bell • We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood. – U.G. Krishnamurti • We can send people to the Moon; we can see if there’s life on Mars – why can’t we get $5 [mosquito] nets to 500 million people? – Jacqueline Novogratz • We don’t like to think of ourselves as prey—it is a lessening thought—but the truth is that in our arrogance and so-called knowledge we forget that we are not unique. We are part of nature as much as other animals, and some animals—sharks, fever-bearing mosquitoes, wolves and bear, to name but a few—perceive us as a food source, a meat supply, and simply did not get the memo about how humans are superior. It can be shocking, humbling, painful, very edifying and sometimes downright fatal to run into such an animal. – Gary Paulsen • we have to suffer mosquitoes the size of blackbirds. – Rebecca Wells • We living beings, right down to crickets, ants, mosquitoes , and flies, all possess life that is without beginning or end. – Gautama Buddha • We must either rearrange this unstable universe or we must exit from here! If we are not a mosquito or a crocodile, we must either dry out the marsh or exit from it! – Mehmet Murat Ildan • We scarified a mosquito. I bet that’s what did it. It was probably a virgin too. – Kelley Armstrong • Well do I remember that dark hot little office in the hospital at Begumpett, with the necessary gleam of light coming in from under the eaves of the veranda. I did not allow the punka to be used because it blew about my dissected mosquitoes, which were partly examined without a cover-glass; and the result was that swarms of flies and of ‘eye-flies’ – minute little insects which try to get into one’s ears and eyelids – tormented me at their pleasure – Ronald Ross • When we got to our hotel rooms, mosquitoes as big as George Foreman were waiting for us. They were sitting in armchairs with their legs crossed. – Mel Brooks • Whether one sees the world as God’s creation or as a secular mystery that science is on the way to figuring out, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of everything from mountain ranges, deserts, and rain forests to the exquisite details in the design of an ordinary mosquito. – Robert C. Solomon • You can never be an artist if your work comes without effort. That is the problem with modernink from a bottle. You do not have to think. You simply write what is swimming on the top of your brain. And the top is nothing but pond scum, dead leaves, and mosquito spawn. – Amy Tan • You don’t hate the mosquito; you just want it out of your face. – Simon Cowell • You have mosquitoes. I have the Press. – Prince Philip • You know the beauty of driving one of these? (Wulf) No. (Cassandra) You can swat a Daimon like a mosquito. (Wulf) Well, since they’re both bloodsucking insects, I say go for it. (Cassandra) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

POLITICO Playbook: ALABAMA newspaper chain calls for voters to REJECT Moore in front-page editorial
Happy Sunday. FRONT PAGE EDITORIAL — BIRMINGHAM NEWS, HUNTSVILLE TIMES, PRESS-REGISTER (MOBILE) — “STAND FOR DECENCY, REJECT ROY MOORE”: “This election is a turning point for women in Alabama. A chance to make their voices heard in a state that has silenced them for too long.
“The accusations against Roy Moore have been horrifying, but not shocking. Every day new allegations arise that illustrate a pattern of a man in his 30s strutting through town like the cock of the walk, courting and preying on young women and girls. And though Roy Moore has denied the accusations of these women, his own platform and record is hostile to so many Alabamians. … Do not let this conversation be muddled. This election has become a referendum on whether we will accept this kind of behavior from our leaders.” http://bit.ly/2hJUl3Y … Birmingham News front page http://bit.ly/2zOd71p
Story Continued Below
— MARC SHORT to GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS on ABC’S “THIS WEEK”: “George, I think that the vice president as well has spoke out against this when the allegations came forward. The president has expressed his concern about this. As you noted, the president has not gone down to Alabama to campaign for Roy Moore since the primary concluded. We have serious concerns about the allegations that have been made but we also believe that all of this info is out there for the people of Alabama. Roy Moore has been a public servant for decades in Alabama. He has run multiple times. The people of Alabama know best and the right decision to make here.”
— CHRIS WALLACE talks with SEN. TIM SCOTT (R-S.C.) on “FOX NEWS SUNDAY” via Nolan D. McCaskill: Sen. Tim Scott said Sunday that it’s “in the best interest of the country” that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore step aside, adding that there’s “a strong possibility” that a write-in candidate could retain the GOP Senate seat. http://politi.co/2AdpCnB
BIG NYT PROFILE — “For Roy Moore, a Long History of Combat and Controversy: The current furor surrounding the Senate candidate has played out like a concentrated version of his battle-filled career,” by Jess Bidgood, Richard Fausset and Campbell Robertson in Gadsden, Alabama: “‘It was a known fact: Roy Moore liked young girls,’ said Faye Gary, a retired Gadsden police officer. ‘It was treated like a joke. That’s just the way it was.’” http://nyti.ms/2AdzrSn
WHAT AMERICA IS WAKING UP TO — CONNECTICUT POST: “DELIBERATE ATTACK?: Educators say Republican tax bill unfairly targets colleges, universities” http://bit.ly/2j6Bn4n … PALM BEACH POST: “Trump returning for his second season: Area prepares for his Thanksgiving stay at Mar-a-Lago” http://bit.ly/2lwjdMc … WICHITA EAGLE: “Pastors, congregants promote packing heat” http://bit.ly/2hCTG0H
BACK ON OFFENSE — “Hillary Clinton: Trump ‘is obsessed’ with her,” by Nolan D. McCaskill: “‘Apparently, you know, my former opponent is obsessed with my speaking out,” [Hillary] Clinton said in an appearance alongside her husband, former President Bill Clinton, at a forum in Little Rock, Arkansas, commemorating the 25th anniversary of his election. ‘Apparently there was another, somebody told me, tweet today. Honestly, between tweeting and golfing, how does he get anything done? I don’t understand it. Maybe that’s the whole point.’ …
“Clinton said in her Little Rock speech she wouldn’t be silenced. ‘I’m gonna keep speaking out,’ she said. She dominated Saturday’s conversation, which was moderated by James Carville, a Bill Clinton campaign veteran and Hillary Clinton campaign adviser. She criticized the current administration for pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, failing to reauthorize the Children’s Health Insurance Program and promoting what she called the ‘fairy tale’ that trickle-down economics will ‘make everything great.’
“‘Yeah, we may be cutting Medicare and Medicaid and health care and make it more expensive to go to school and all the stuff that they’re trying to do in Washington, but it’s all gonna work out,’ she said sarcastically. ‘It’s such nonsense.’” http://politi.co/2hKZqsX
WHY RON JOHNSON IS A NO ON TAX REFORM, by NYT’s Jim Tankersley: “On the eve of the House’s vote to pass a far-reaching $1.5 trillion tax cut, Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin placed a hasty phone call to his state’s senior senator, Ron Johnson, in hopes of resolving an unlikely conflict in his own back yard. …
“During the phone call on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Ryan, who had campaigned heavily for Mr. Johnson in 2016, posed an essential question, according to the senator: ‘What are you going to need?’ What Mr. Johnson needs … is for the bill to treat more favorably small businesses and other so-called pass-through entities — businesses whose profits are distributed to their owners and taxed at rates for individuals. Such entities, including Mr. Johnson’s family-run plastics manufacturing business, account for more than half of the nation’s business income, and the senator says the tax bill would give an unfair advantage to larger corporations.
“‘I just have in my heart a real affinity for these owner-operated pass-throughs,’ he said. ‘We need to make American businesses competitive — they’re not right now. But in making businesses competitive, we can’t leave behind the pass-throughs.’” http://nyti.ms/2ivsMsw
— IT’S WORTH NOTING: This is hardly the first time Johnson has clashed with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his GOP leadership team. He also fought with them over how the Obamacare repeal process played out. He is just the first Senate Republican out of the gate opposing the bill. Just because the House GOP tax overhaul was on the fast track and didn’t face many hiccups, don’t expect the same to be true in the Senate.
FOR EXAMPLE… JAKE TAPPER talks with SEN. SUSAN COLLINS (R-MAINE) on CNN’S “STATE OF THE UNION: TAPPER: “You said this week that Republicans made a big mistake when they changed the tax bill to include this repeal of the Affordable Care Act individual mandate because that — removing that could raise taxes or payment — health care payments, premiums, for millions of Americans. If that provision stays in the tax bill, will that mean a ‘no’ vote from you?” COLLINS: “Well, first of all, I think we need to distinguish between taking away insurance from people who already have it, which is what the health care bill said we considered earlier this year would have done, versus removing a fine on people who choose not to have insurance. And that’s … disproportionately 80 percent on those who make under $50,000.
“I don’t think that provision should be in the bill. I hope the Senate will follow the lead of the House and strike it. If not, I think we need to fix it by passing two bills, the Alexander-Murray Bill, which will help to stabilize markets and reduce premiums, and a bill I’ve introduced with Bill Nelson of Florida that would create high-risk pools that would protect people with pre-existing conditions and also help to reduce premiums by 20 percent.”

FUN, FROM KRISTINA PETERSON in the WSJ: “‘Gucci’ Lobbyists From ‘86 Tax Revamp Are Gone. Now They Use Gchat” http://on.wsj.com/2zfTorD
MORE TAX DRAMA IN THE STATES — “In Democrat-led state capitals, GOP tax reform push could scramble fiscal plans,” by Laura Nahmias in New York, Katherine Landergan in New Jersey and Carla Marinucci in California: “The Republican tax reform push in Washington is setting off budgetary alarm bells in high-tax states like New York, California and New Jersey, in the latest political skirmish to pit national Republicans against Democratic state and big city leaders.
“With Republicans intent on shrinking or repealing the state and local tax deduction, California officials are worried that the House-passed tax bill, and the emerging Senate measure, will force local governments to reduce taxes and make big cuts to schools and social services. In New York, where New York City and state revenues are heavily reliant on just a handful of wealthy tax filers, budget watchdogs fear federal tax changes could trigger the flight of those residents. And in New Jersey, plans for a new millionaire’s tax, one of incoming Gov. Phil Murphy’s biggest campaign promises, are already being reined in as the Democratic-led New Jersey Senate waits on the outcome of any federal tax plan.
“‘We’re going to have to re-evaluate everything’ if a federal bill repealing the state and local tax deduction becomes law, New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney said Wednesday in Atlantic City. Just days before, Sweeney had said he would make passage of a millionaires tax his chief priority in the new administration. ‘I’m just saying that what’s happening in Washington is concerning the hell out of me,’ he added.” http://politi.co/2zSdXtt
TROUBLE FOR FRANKEN — A1 of the STAR TRIBUNE — “Sidelined by scandal, Sen. Al Franken faces questions about ability to do his job,” by Jennifer Brooks and Erin Golden: “Suddenly a senator whose statewide approval rating stood at 58 percent in the last Star Tribune Minnesota Poll is facing calls to resign — even from prominent Minnesota DFLers and deeply disappointed supporters.
“As he faces an ethics investigation in the U.S. Senate, Franken’s future is up in the air in a seat that’s next on the ballot in 2020. … Asked Saturday whether Franken would resign, a spokesperson for the senator responded: ‘No.’ ‘He is spending time with his family in Washington, D.C., and will be through the Thanksgiving holiday,’ the staffer said by text, ‘and he’s doing a lot of reflecting.’ … ‘It’s hard. He’s a friend, he’s an ally and he’s very effective. But we cannot have a double standard when it comes to having safe places that do not allow for sexual harassment,’ said State Auditor Rebecca Otto, one of two DFL candidates for governor in 2018 to call for Franken to resign. The other was state Rep. Erin Murphy.” http://strib.mn/2jDzLTy … A1 PDF http://bit.ly/2AdyWrJ
— TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN?: STAR LEDGER FRONT PAGE: “Why this N.J. Republican keeps voting for things that could hurt Jersey” (print headline: “MacArthur is showing affinity for risk-taking: Representative’s tax stance could hurt N.J., his future”): “In just his third term in office, Rep. Tom MacArthur is helping to shape legislation in a way lawmakers who’ve been here a long time can only dream of.
“But such a quick rise in Washington could come at a cost to his home state of New Jersey and perhaps his future in Congress. MacArthur was the only New Jersey lawmaker to vote for the House Republican tax cut bill that curtailed the federal deduction for state and local taxes, and was one of only two GOP lawmakers from the state backing the health care legislation that rolled back the state’s expansion of Medicaid.” http://bit.ly/2zSJR91 … A1 PDF http://bit.ly/2hEpLoU
FOR YOUR RADAR — “Zimbabwe ruling party fires Mugabe as chief; now impeachment,” by AP’s Christopher Torchia and Farai Mutsaka in Harare, Zimbabwe: “Clinging to his now virtually powerless post, longtime Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was fired as ruling party chief to cheers Sunday, and was set to discuss his expected exit with the army commander who put the world’s oldest head of state under house arrest days ago.” http://bit.ly/2zh5hxE
— “U.S. pursues quiet troop buildup in Somalia,” by Wesley Morgan: “The number of U.S. military forces in Somalia has more than doubled this year to over 500 people as the Pentagon has quietly posted hundreds of additional special operations personnel to advise local forces in pockets of Islamic militants around the country, according to current and former senior military officials. It is the largest American military contingent in the war-torn nation since the infamous 1993 ‘Black Hawk Down’ battle when 18 U.S. soldiers died. It is also the latest example of how the Pentagon’s operations in Africa have expanded with greater authority provided to field commanders.” http://politi.co/2zPVuhy
JARED MIDEAST PEACE BEAT — “Eyeing Detailed Peace Plan, Trump Team Could Invest Years in Effort,” by Jerusalem Post’s Michael Wilner: “Deadlines are not a part of President Donald Trump’s peace effort, led by Jared Kushner … and Jason Greenblatt, the U.S. special representative for international negotiations. These two refuse to bind themselves in timetables as they prepare what they describe as an ‘architecture’ for their upcoming initiative. It is a notable break in strategy from those of past diplomats who have tried, and failed, to bring peace to the Middle East. … When it is ready, the White House-based team will release what has been described to The Jerusalem Post as an intricately detailed plan – not a grand vision of peace from on high, but specific U.S. proposals to specific disagreements, formed based on months of listening to the parties.” http://bit.ly/2zhmCGQ
–“Palestinians vow to suspend talks if U.S. closes PLO mission,” by AP’s Josh Lederman and Matt Lee: “The Palestinians threatened on Saturday to suspend all communication with the United States if the Trump administration follows through with plans to close their diplomatic office in Washington. The potential rupture in relations threatens to undermine President Donald Trump’s bid for Mideast peace — a mission he has handed his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the U.S. decision was ‘very unfortunate and unacceptable,’ and accused Washington of bowing to pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government ‘at a time when we are trying to cooperate to achieve the ultimate deal.’” http://bit.ly/2zSilbS
FOGGY BOTTOM WATCH – NYT EDITORIAL: “The Trump Administration Is Making War on Diplomacy”: “Mr. Tillerson has asked some senior officials to do clerical tasks and left many ambassadorships unfilled. Stephen Akard, an associate of Vice President Mike Pence with only brief experience at the State Department, was nominated director general of the foreign service, a position that oversees diplomatic appointments and is usually reserved for a senior career diplomat with the power to block political interference. All in all, Mr. Tillerson is disrupting the smooth development of career State Department leaders from entry level to the senior ranks, which will create shortages of experienced diplomats down the road. Not surprisingly, morale has plummeted.” http://nyti.ms/2zT3n3t
–“Frustrated foreign leaders bypass Washington in search of blue-state allies,” by WaPo’s Michael Birnbaum and Greg Jaffe: “Some nations are finding that even if they are frustrated by President Trump’s Washington, they can still prosper from robust relations with the California Republic and a constellation of like-minded U.S. cities, some of which are bigger than European countries. [Jerry] Brown’s 10-day trip to Europe, which ended Tuesday, was just the latest in a growing transatlantic back-and-forth that bypasses the Trump-era White House. … Several European countries have stationed ambassadors in Silicon Valley to boost trade ties. Meanwhile, state and municipal governments are expanding or building new offices to help them manage the increased interest in Europe and Asia.” http://wapo.st/2yXnEU4
BUT, BUT, BUT — EMILY HOLDEN in Bonn, Germany: “The White House goaded activists at the international climate talks by pushing coal and other fossil fuels. But behind closed doors, U.S. negotiators stuck to their Obama-era principles on the 2015 Paris deal — despite President Donald Trump’s disavowal of the pact. State Department negotiators at the U.N. conference that ended Saturday hewed to the United States’ long-established positions on the details of how to carry out the Paris agreement. And that’s the U.S. role that most foreign political leaders sought to highlight, despite the low expectations inspired by Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda and his dismissal of human-caused climate change as a hoax.
“‘You couldn’t have expected more,’ said German Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks, who described the U.S. delegation as constructive and neutral. ‘Its diplomats who are working here, they act professionally.’ White House energy adviser George David Banks portrayed the outcome in even more glowing terms, saying the U.S. had been ‘indispensable in thwarting efforts by some countries to get a free pass’ under the Paris agreement. The American negotiating team, Banks said, had ‘led across many issues, promoted U.S. national interests, and protected U.S. taxpayers and businesses.’” http://politi.co/2zQez3m
SPICER AND BARNETT — “Sean Spicer Is Resetting His Post-White House Career Strategy,” by BuzzFeed’s Steven Perlberg: “At first, Sean Spicer’s exit from the White House followed the blueprint for famous administration officials. Step one: Hire mega lawyer/agent Bob Barnett … Now Spicer and Barnett, who seeks to uphold a reputation as the preeminent talent broker in Washington, are both distancing themselves from one another, according to sources familiar with the matter. Around Washington, Barnett has downplayed his relationship with Spicer … Spicer, for his part, is leaning on another agent who has represented Trump world talent like Ivanka Trump, Corey Lewandowski, and David Bossie — Mel Berger from agency giant WME. …
“Some in DC media circles believe Barnett over-promised Spicer about what he could deliver, and that the duo underestimated the larger media industry’s contempt from the former press secretary. TV network sources say that Spicer and Barnett weren’t particularly strategic about rolling out a fresh image. The two clashed stylistically — Spicer needed a hands-on agent as opposed to a seasoned dealmaker. The former press secretary was also at times concerned Barnett was spending too much time involved with Hillary Clinton’s book project than working on his own future, according to one source familiar with the matter. (Another source disputed this, saying that Barnett is responsive to his clients.)” http://bzfd.it/2B2eqrk
SUNDAY BEST —
— ANDREA MITCHELL speaks to OMB DIRECTOR MICK MULVANEY on NBC’S “MEET THE PRESS”: MITCHELL: “Now we only have one year of tax returns because he has failed, refused, he’s the first president in modern history to not release his tax returns. We have the 2005 1040 from President Trump. Our independent NBC News analysis of that showed that he was, himself, he and Melania Trump would gain at least $22 million from this tax cut from the estate tax as well. His heirs would benefit $1.1 billion. So it’s not true that the president would not benefit from the tax cut?”
MULVANEY: “Yeah, I can’t speak to the president’s taxes. I think that was sort of litigated by the American public during the election. I will say this, listen, the president’s going to pay much higher taxes on a lot of his properties, excuse me, because he has properties in high tax states. So I laugh every time I come on networks like this, they accuse us of cutting taxes on the rich. Every time I go on different networks, and you may understand who those are, they accuse us of raising taxes on the rich. So I think it depends on how you want to look at it.”
— CHRIS WALLACE with TREASURY SECRETARY STEVEN MNUCHIN on “FOX NEWS SUNDAY” about the photo with his wife posed with dollar bills: MNUCHIN: “I never thought I’d be quoted as looking like villains from the James Bond, I guess I should take that as a compliment. That I look like a villain in a great successful, James Bond movie. But let me just say I was very excited of having my signature on the money, it’s obviously a great privilege and a great honor and something I’m very proud of being the Secretary and helping the American people.”

SNL COLD OPEN – “WikiLeaks Cold Open”, taking place in a parking garage beneath the Ecuadorian Embassy in London – Don Jr. (played by Mikey Day): “Hello Mr. Assange, I presume.” Julian Assange (Kate McKinnon): “I appreciate you coming all the way to London to meet face to face. As secure and off the record as sliding into my Twitter DMs is, I thought this would be safer.” Don. Jr.: “My brother Eric is waiting in the car. Not to worry, I told him to honk the horn if he gets scared. Now Mr. Assange” [Eric honks repeatedly] “Excuse me for a moment.”
… Don leaves and returns: “Eric will be joining us. Eric, this is Mr. Assange.” Eric (Alex Moffat): “He looks like Draco Malfoy.” Don Jr.: “Eric, that was rude. What did we say about making fun of people’s appearances, bud?” Eric: “That’s Dad’s thing?” Don Jr.: “Yeah.” 5-min. video http://bit.ly/2AU1bIc

JONATHAN WEISMAN in NYT Sunday Review, “When the Right Pushes Fake Jews”: “Bernie Bernstein pretty much fits the mold of a Jew — at least as the alt-right sees us. A strange Northeastern accent, somewhere between New York and Boston? Check. Tossing money, but not too much money, around to no good end (remember, we’re rich, but cheap)? Check. Pursuing the agenda of the liberal fake-news media? Check. Riling the worst instincts of the South’s conservative base? Check. But there was something a little too on the nose, forgive me please, about those robocalls in Alabama from a mythical Washington Post reporter named Bernstein seeking women to dish dirt on Roy Moore, something too ‘Jewy’ to be actually Jewish. And that’s where the rising anti-Semitism of the new white nationalists loses its punch.” http://nyti.ms/2zhyQPO
GREAT STORY — SCOTT BROWN IN NEW ZEALAND — “Scott Brown’s pay is $155,000 per year. The benefits are priceless,” by the Boston Globe’s Joshua Miller in Wellington, New Zealand: “Of the waves that followed from Donald Trump’s 2016 tsunami, Brown’s ascension from the everyman-with-a-pickup who lost two U.S. Senate races in two years in two states to US ambassador to New Zealand ranks among the most unlikely. And, for him, the most fortunate.
“The island nation is a paradisiacal land of jade hills dotted with grazing sheep, golden-sand beaches surrounded by Jurassic Park-like jungles, snow-capped peaks that rise steeply from azure fjords, and pastoral villages serving gourmet meals and world-class wine.
“Brown spends his days as if he is campaigning across this terrain. He gladhands mayors and their constituents, bearing patriotic gifts: U.S.-New Zealand flag pins, and military challenge coins imprinted with Brown’s signature. He introduces himself to chambers of commerce, noting that he, too, was once a business owner. And he connects with Kiwis over rock music and rugby, trying to parry their considerable concerns about President Trump.” http://bit.ly/2AUbTOV
2020 WATCH — “Don’t trust politicians to solve our problems, U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse tells Iowa crowd,” by the Des Moines Register’s Jason Noble: “Don’t look to politics to solve the pressing problems in American culture or address looming technological and economic changes that will rearrange American society, U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse told an Iowa audience Saturday. Politicians, he said, simply aren’t up to the task.
“‘Friends, there is no politician who’s going to save America,’ Sasse told a crowd of about 500 Christian conservatives in Des Moines. ‘Friends, there is no election that’s going to transform your life to become so much better than it is right now.’
“‘I think that the Republican Party doesn’t have clarity of any long-term vision that it communicates to the American people … That’s why in the 2016 presidential election you saw it ripe for a pretty fundamental attack on its platform. … ‘Those two sides of the Republican Party — you can call it a Wall Street-K Street continuum and a Bannonite populism — both of them are unpersuasive to moms and dads in Iowa and Nebraska who are thinking about what kind of country they want to give their kids in 10 and 20 years,’ Sasse said.” http://dmreg.co/2zRlkBj
WHAT THE PENTAGON IS READING — “U.S. nuclear general says would resist ‘illegal’ Trump strike order” – Reuters: “Air Force General John Hyten, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM), told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada that he had given a lot of thought to what he would say if he received such an order. … ‘And if it’s illegal, guess what’s going to happen? I‘m going to say, “Mr. President, that’s illegal.” And guess what he’s going to do? He’s going to say, “What would be legal?” And we’ll come up with options, of a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that’s the way it works. It’s not that complicated.’ Hyten said running through scenarios of how to react in the event of an illegal order was standard practice, and added: ‘If you execute an unlawful order, you will go to jail. You could go to jail for the rest of your life.’” http://reut.rs/2zQJoEI
TRUMP INC. — “Mar-a-Lago’s new winter season: The Red Cross Ball is out, the Trumpettes are in,” by WaPo’s David Fahrenthold, Lori Rozsa and Drew Harwell: “This week, Trump returns to Mar-a-Lago for the first time since April. He will confront a changed social scene. … Once a retreat from the divisive business of politics, the Palm Beach landmark is now a place defined by those divisions — a dynamic the club is monetizing by booking events with Trump’s political allies. Mar-a-Lago is still hosting weddings and members for meals on the dining terrace. But the center of Palm Beach’s traditional social scene has shifted to the Breakers, a club that Trump once mocked for getting his ‘leftovers.’” http://wapo.st/2ivxoPo
GOTHAM REPORT – BIG READ — NYT A1, “How Politics and Bad Decisions Starved New York’s Subways: Disruptions and delays have roiled the system this year. But the crisis was long in the making, fueled by a litany of errors, a Times investigation shows,” by Brian M. Rosenthal, Emma G. Fitzsimmons and Michael LaForgia: “Subway workers now make an average of $170,000 annually in salary, overtime and benefits, according to a Times analysis of data compiled by the federal Department of Transportation. That is far more than in any other American transit system; the average in cities like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington is about $100,000 in total compensation annually. The pay for managers is even more extraordinary. The nearly 2,500 people who work in New York subway administration make, on average, $280,000 in salary, overtime and benefits. The average elsewhere is $115,000.” http://nyti.ms/2ASRDgv

SPORTS BLINK — “Every six weeks for more than 36 years: When will sex abuse in Olympic sports end?” by WaPo’s Will Hobson and Steven Rich: “More than 290 coaches and officials associated with the United States’ Olympic sports organizations have been publicly accused of sexual misconduct since 1982, according to a Washington Post review of sport governing body banned lists, news clips and court records in several states. The figure spans parts of 15 sports and amounts to an average of eight adults connected to an Olympic organization accused of sexual misconduct every year — or about one every six weeks — for more than 36 years. The figure includes more than 175 officials convicted of sex crimes as well as those who never faced criminal charges and have denied claims.” http://wapo.st/2zQjPmW

Increasingly, it’s plainclothes contractors with few labor protections, driving their own cars, competing for shifts on the company’s own Uber-like platform.

— “Bill Browder, Putin Enemy No. 1,” by Sean Flynn in GQ: “The harrowing tale of Bill Browder—how an American-born businessman became an enemy of the Russian state, how he has to live in constant fear, never knowing if the long arm of the Kremlin will snatch him, or kill him—is its own kind of daily terror. But what Browder’s story tells us about the way Vladimir Putin operates, and what he might want from this country, should scare us all.” http://bit.ly/2zNNA7S

At least 200,000 — almost all girls — have done so in the past 15 years. ‘Children as young as 10, 11 and 12 years old were granted marriage licenses in Alaska, Louisiana, South Carolina and Tennessee.’” http://to.pbs.org/2zQYlEq
