Attach downy white feathers around the lower sides and back of the hat. Bern-ie! Bern-ie! Bern-ie! <br /><br />I'll have to go looking in the yarn bin at the thrift store (h/t Karen) for pink pussy hats, then check my old feather pillows to see if I can harvest some nice, white downy fluff from them. <br /><br />It'll probably end up looking like a half-plucked dead chicken since I'm not very crafty, but I bet Karen could make a great prototype even if it started as just a graphic. How about it, Karen?Comrade Pinkonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-81432271338157244912018-01-12T07:37:12.889-05:002018-01-12T07:37:12.889-05:00Jay -- you make me lol!

He won't be thrown off by pink pussy hats or black outfits. To throw everybody off balance, he might even show up wearing a wide pink and black knit Trump tie hanging down to his pupik [sic](see Urban Dictionary).<br /><br />Here's a better way to unsettle him while he's standing over the political tee, breathing slow, getting ready to whack a truly beautiful speech of a SOTU into the black hole of national politics: the Dems conspire to download on their smart phones the sound of knitting needles clicking. Right, they're gonna needle him to death.<br /><br />If enough courageous Dems do this and play the recording during Trump's SOTU, the sound will bring down the House and hardly be traceable. The Sergeant at Arms can't eject the whole herd of donkeys can he? The phones will be in pockets ready to be turned on or off subtly and as needed throughout the speech. If the clicking sound succeeds, it could be the new note of mockery at speeches––or even typed out in Tweets––over the next 3 (or 7) years.<br /><br />Imagine if 100 Dems in the House of Reps do this while Trump is droning on. Guaranteed to be much more effective than donning ultra-passive black threads and calling it a day. The ploy will take a thimble full of courage, however; and there's the rub, given the current state of the Democratic Party.<br /><br />My wife used to drive me nuts when she began knitting in the passenger seat beside me on long drives. We finally negotiated an end to that routine so long as I was more prompt in the future when she asked me to take out the trash.<br /><br />What we need for January 30 in the amphitheatre of the House of Reps is something like the "drip, drip................................drip" of Chinese torture. So I'm taking a page from Will and asking you to try listening to the following at Youtube for a few minutes without going bonkers. <br /><br />Full disclosure: the Youtube sites I vetted for real knitting needle sounds were not loud enough. The following is really "Loud Clicking Noises," but it'll do. <br /><br />Bye, bye. Click, click.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_snJiyefD0Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-32755302052844263492018-01-11T11:54:28.782-05:002018-01-11T11:54:28.782-05:00Obviously Putin instigated the Woman's March a...Obviously Putin instigated the Woman's March and the Pink Pussy Hat movement through Facebook ads and other social media interference, including coordination of rallies. Putin is clearly behind #MeToo since it further divides our wonderful united democratic country. The whole Pink Hat and #MeToo crowd, wittingly or not, are giving aid and comfort to the enemy as tools of the Kremlin. Putin stooges! I'm shocked that Hillary hasn't figured out that Putin has played her fellow travelers like a cheap fiddle. <br /><br />My spies tell me that in Mother Russia, they refer to those hats as Pinko Hats. If our leaders are serious about Russian interference and protecting our Homeland, they need to investigate all these collaborators and collusioners who are so easily influenced by Putin and find out how they fell under his evil spell. The first step is to confiscate all those dangerously subversive Pinko Hats. Thankfully, that seems to be underway. <br /><br />We are under attack by Russia. This is WAR!Comrade Pinkonoreply@blogger.com
