This is Veterans Day. If your favorite veteran is still alive, go and make it memorable. (Even if he's my ex-brother-in-law who served in peacetime and just missed being drummed out of the Navy for not staying fit...he's still some of The Nephews' favorite veteran, and I salute you lot for that.) This web site will wait.
Animals
Notice how many of America's most popular breeds just happen to be on the busybodies' hate list?
Crime & Punishment
Pity and a shame about Russell Brand. It's very hard to believe some men have ever committed rape, on the grounds that so many women would consent to whatever they wanted, it's hard to imagine where they found those non-consenters. Cosby may have had a thing about wanting his partners in premarital sex to be stoned out of their minds before he dared to get close, but he was a movie star, these women chose to take drugs with him...it's sick to want to do anything with an unconscious person other than (a) leave person alone or (b) try to revive person, but it's also sick to want to get drunk or stoned. Bill Clinton, by all reports, is a big clumsy slob who physically injures people just by being clumsy, so all kinds of people felt abused by him. Brand looks on screen as if he'd be attractive, but he may also be deeply repulsive, in some way, at close range. I don't want to know.
What we do want men to know is: the way to be safe is to keep your trousers together. If you were not married and you Summoned the Stork, no woman ever has wanted or will want a premarital pregnancy, so even if she's a political enemy who was saying "yes yes yes" at the time, she can lie and physical evidence can get you into serious trouble, because you're responsible for not causing any unwanted pregnancies. You can legally have all kinds of fun before marriage so long as you don't do anything that COULD cause pregnancy. Keep your DNA where it can't be used against you, and all will be well.
This guy gets it.
Immigration
This seems like a good solution. YOU want immigrants? YOU rent them rooms! And someone will be checking to make sure they're getting regular meals and paychecks, and as much continuing education as seems relevant to their purposes. This web site particularly looks forward to seeing Miss Gina's immigrants, er um I mean guests for life or until they decide to go home, whichever, graduate from the University of Texas.

#MadMen
Is even a Loony Lefty boy REALLY stupid enough to say this?
If he said it, and if he's not in prison before Christmas, that would be a failure.

Oliver Anthony.
Made with Blender, so I probably shouldn't have watched it, but cute.
Tears for Fears.
Poem
Well...free verse. But it's good free verse. This poem goes with Pete Hampton's paintings. (Yes, late January is the rainy, growing season in some parts of California. Landscapes seem greener because in summer they were what Californians euphemistically call gold. Air feels chilly if you're wet but hardly ever gets cold enough to slow down plant growth. Harvest season occurs in what the pioneers in the Eastern States called "starving time," the end of winter. Some of the eccentricities of Californians have to be attributed to weather.)
