I Hate Feet of Clay

Sentor Al Franken will be resigning from the Senate following sexual harassment allegations:

Sen. Al Franken announced Thursday that he will resign from the Senate amid a growing number of women accusing the Democrat of kissing, groping and touching them without their consent.

Franken, who said some of the allegations were not true and others he “remembered differently,” was considered by many to be a “rising star” in the Democratic party that might have run for president in 2020.

“In the coming weeks, I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate,” he said on the Senate floor.

“I of all people am aware that there is some irony in the fact that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party,” Franken said in reference to President Donald Trump and Republican Senate hopeful Roy Moore.

Why couldn't this have been Joe Manchin?

Damn

Monty Python star Terry Jones has been diagnosed with a form of dementia called primary progressive aphasia, which attacks the ability to speak.

Damn, damn, damn.

Sigh………

Bernie Sanders has officially endorsed Hillary Clinton.

I knew that this was going to happen, but I'm still bumming.

I Just Had the 2nd Worst Start of the Day Ever*

When I left for work today, and as I unlocked the door, I looked down, and saw a dead feral kitten by the curb.

I think that it might have been hit by a car.

It was gray, and perhaps 12 weeks old.  I had seen it around the neighborhood.

I put on some gloves, and put the cat in a bag, and then in the trash.

It was putrefying, and it was leaking fluid, and it was the worst smell of my life.

In life, it had been a kitten, with all that this entails.

Still kind of freaking, though I managed to put it behind me enough to function at work.
