Now this is how golf should be played.

The sooner the better.

Have some cat cartoons.

Tengrain challenges his readers to come up with a title for Trump Jr's book -- and they (including me) rise to the occasion.

Lo Imprescindible recommends some romantic books that run deeper than standard romance novels.

Gosh, I wonder why nobody wanted this sign in their parade.

Waterfall.social is another possible alternative to Tumblr, where robots are now flagging robots.  Speaking of which, if you use Tumblr, watch out for this.

No, pessimism and cynicism are not profound.

"What if you're wrong?"

A gay cartoon rat is one of the least offensive things kids see on TV these days.

Anyone who voted for Trump can't claim surprise at how he's behaved.

The Democratic party's shift from caucuses to primaries will change the nomination race substantially.

Pelosi plays Trump like a fiddle -- a rather screechy one.

It bears repeating -- the public opposes impeachment 66% to 29%.  It would not be a smart move politically.

Shower Cap keeps up to date with the week's madness.

Here are some more links, mostly political.

That golf video cracked me up! Love the very creative titles for Trump Jr's book too. Fordite is amazing! "The truth about vaccines is written in stone" -- excellent meme! And I love the living pride flag in Russia!

Great line-up today -- thanks!

The Dem primary really does need to change.

As usual you've shared a great list of links. And again, I can't pick one favorite to comment on. I like a lot of them.

Wishing you a wonderful week!

OMG Tumblr goes from bad to worse! Is everything online now an information farm? Ugh.
The Don Jr’s book titles are hysterical!
The QAnon freaks freak me the hell out!
And thanks for the nod, dear! That’s so nice of you!

XoXo

Hi Infidel!

I did stop by on Sunday and clicked on some of the links, but I had company, and I didn't get a chance to comment and to thank you for the link to The Raisin. I especially enjoyed the book titles for Junior's book. I had to add one. That church is scary but amazing. I would expect bats to be flying out of it every night. I will send my name to Mars, only in hopes of getting a coupon for a free bag of 3 Musketeers.

P.S. Do you think Twitler lies about his handicat?

Another fun round-up! Of course, I'm a real sucker for cat cartoons :)

Debra: That cat is a superb goalkeeper. And I found that image about vaccines sobering. The horrors vaccines liberated us from are so recent.

Adam: It's a change for the better. Caucuses are much less democratic.

Dellgirl: Thanks! Glad to know my weekly ramblings are of interest.

Sixpence: I bet those book titles are better than whatever he actually comes up with.

The QAnon qrackpots are the outer rim of wingnuttery. I read a blog by a guy who believes in that stuff. He'll believe anything, except the truth.

Thanks for the post!

Nonnie: Liked your book suggestion -- maybe eventually you can devise a cover for the book.

I don't think Agolf Twitler would ever acknowledge being pwned by a cat. He'd declare the cat an enemy of the people or something.

Martha: Cats are always big on the internet.....
