Hillary is Already Planning Her Legacy

This is just too good not to post for posterity.

But, I don't know whether I can handle it if it turns out that there are no aliens.

John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, says it’s time for the U.S. government to release any evidence it has about the existence of alien forms of life in outer space.

Podesta, who was also a chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, told CNN that if Hillary Clinton is elected, she’ll ask for as many records about Area 51 in Nevada as the U.S. government has to be declassified.  

“I think that's a commitment that she intends to keep and that I intend to hold her to," Podesta told CNN.

Area 51 is a remote Air Force test and training range that’s been the subject of conspiracy theories, including UFO sightings.

"The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what's going on with unidentified aerial phenomena," said Podesta.

Asked if the government is holding proof of alien life, Podesta said: “That’s for the public to judge once they’ve seen all the evidence that the U.S. government has.”

Asked about his own beliefs, Podesta simply said: “There are a lot of planets out there,” adding “the American people can handle the truth.”

I don't know whether i can handle it IF THERE are no aliens.

A Dog-lover's (Stolen) Giggle For The Day

Today's Overboard comic strip struck a whole symphony of notes around Moogie's Manor:



This is also why you travel with several towels in your car.

Around the House

Do you ever walk into a room in your house and notice something that's been there for quite awhile, but you haven't yet picked up on how it got there, or why it might be considered unusual by others?

Me, too.

Here's the reason I now clean window interiors every few days instead of every six months or year: lower window sills than in Moogie's Mansion and two young, nose-y Labs.

I suppose the nose prints aren't very visible, but they're there. Trust me. Or, as The Donald would say, "Be-LIEVE me!"

Here's the water closet in our master bath.  Doesn't everyone have a Star Trek calendar in theirs? And a corded wall telephone?

Life is interesting at Moogie's Manor.

Better Than Melatonin, or Even Ambien

I've finally figured out what Hillary's campaign voice reminds me of! It's been nagging and nagging at me (kinda like Hillary, herself) for months.  She tries to modify it from time to time when her handlers are able to convince her to tone it down, or perk it up, or sound more sincere.  But, the sound of that voice always comes back to this:


I'm with you, Peppermint Patty.

California and New York Hop on the Minimum Wage Thrill Ride

So. Today, California and New York took the first steps to raising their intra-state minimum wage to $15.00 per hour over the next few years as the respective Governors signed the enabling legislation into effect.

The relevant politicians in those states flapped their jaws a bunch about "dignity" and "parity" and "economic justice."

I frankly don't think much consideration was given at all to actual "economics."

There goes that giant sucking sound again -- jobs vanishing from the good ol' US of A.

And $7.00 cheeseburgers at McDonald's. Self-service.
