Thanks for sharing that. I'm already missing him, and I only got to the wonkzooms a few times a year. It's really sad when we lose Good People like him.
I never got to meet him, but enjoyed so many times his insight, or something funny he posted. I've been hanging around a long time, as CNTKY and as catsntrees more recently and it always hurts to find out we've lost another wonderful soul in our merry non-commenting band of brilliant and empathic lovely people.
This is a loss for all of us. If you're still in touch with his brother, please convey our deep, sincere condolences. May his memory always be a blessing.
Well damn it. I got to meet him in person at one of the Portland Wonkmeets a couple of years ago. He was a really nice person. And great to talk to about lots of different things.
The first time Trump visited Pearl Harbor as President, a general had to explain to him what the memorial was about. Like so many things about Trump, his ignorance of history is appalling.
Please do more Dame Peggington Noonan Refractions on Fridays. I used to live for those, and I still reread them, because she is the most witless pundit ever to pontificate in the history of journalism. AND SHE GETS A WEEKLY SYNDICATED COLUMN, when you and Hamilton Nolan don’t get on Meet the Press (nor the guys from the Root; talk about racist)!!!
Ms Noonan can’t even check the police blotter or make a single phone call to a source to ask what is the word on the street, Huggy Bear? Senile old George Will has his research assistant look up quotes from the 500 Great Books of the World. Fat old bald Canuck David Brooks fucks his research assistant and buys drinks in airport bars and gets to opine on THE PBS NEWSHOUR for tired drivel. The neocon refugees from the W administration all write for the Pacific—I mean the Atlantic—that puts us all to sleep. (Anne Applebaum, you are the clone of Susan Collins and Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot when it comes to tut-tutting. Grow a pair, whydoncha, and call out Trump’s fascism while you still have the First Amendment!). Then there is the NYT, with the exception of the majesterial words of Charles M Blow.
It’s a target rich environment for a satirist. (Fuck Bill Maher and PJ O’Rourke.). But Dame Noonington is the most pompous, the most vain, the most whacked out on alcohol and pain killers since Harry Reasoner used to have a few before he did the ABC Evening News with Barbara Walters, and then do Sixty Minutes pieces that were a complete waste of time, except as drunken spectacle, before Rush Limbaugh came in the scene.
Come on, please, Mr Legum. Just one. For old times sake.
I'm really disappointed with Wonkette. What is this, letting Trump write a column? Just posting it directly, with no editorial corrections except spelling probably. Trump is totally dyslexic, but it's not his fault nor a sign of his lack of stable genius. Many stable geniuses are dyslexic, like Einstein and Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He's a great and brilliant man. He's a doctor, did you know that? So was Jeffery Einstein. He was a doctor too! He was in a movie once, and they always called him "Doctor Einstein." It was called "Old Lace and Arsenic." It was about Chemistry. The Democrats, or the Demoncrats, as some people are saying, say that Dyslexic is a disqualification for being President. No one who is a demoncrat should be allowed to be President! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
There was Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria. Still a legend after 150 years. He built kitschy castles, drove the choo-choo, and bankrupted his Kingdom, so that the Lederhosen wearers (an embarrassment to all German speakers) chose to join with Bismarck to get rid of him.
Mueller missed his chances with W and with Trump. At the outset, he wasn’t going to indict Trump, “because the President can’t be indicted” says a memo. A memo? Batman and Commissioner Gordon wouldn’t have let a memo stop them. Nor would they have been so pusillanimous in saying “Trump committed crimes, beyond a reasonable doubt. And by the way, my good friend Bill Barr, FUCK YOU!!!”
Robert Mueller had a chance to save the Republic twice, and he let his scruples keep him from arresting his fellow Republicans, including John Yoo.
I hope Mrs. Mueller & family are belligerently rude to Bill Barr and don't let him attend the funeral. Of course, the Pedo POTUS won't be there either.
Before the service, place some itching powder in the pews where Barr would sit. The camera focusing on his face has he grits his teeth would be worth a 100 memes.
Any genuine true-blue red-blooded Americans left in this country? Where have all the patriots and Minutemen gone? Revolution and the overthrow of tyranny is not only our Right, but it is also our obligation. Don't deny yourself freedom. Recognize the opportunity for what it is. The door is open, be brave enough to walk through it. Cowardice costs. We’re free people, for now. Can't guarantee tomorrow if We don't stand up, unite, & fight today. Freedom and bravery rewards. Everything Americans want and desire lies beyond for fear and ignorance. Trespass and play where pain and death live.
With a heavy heart I report the passing of Jon Gross, known here as Furry Caterwauling.
I inquired via DM and his brother responded:
"This is Jon's brother. Jon passed away on March 16."
He was a good man and will be missed.
May his memory always be for a blessing.
*swear loudly to himself*
Just got the news. I cannot match the eloquence of my fellow Wonks, so I will just say that I am so sorry, and he will be missed, indeed.
may his memory be a blessing
Thanks for sharing that. I'm already missing him, and I only got to the wonkzooms a few times a year. It's really sad when we lose Good People like him.
First Chuck Norris, now Fury Caterwauling.😢
[REDACTED] NEXT?
Please tell his brother how much he meant to us.
Missed indeed.
I never got to meet him, but enjoyed so many times his insight, or something funny he posted. I've been hanging around a long time, as CNTKY and as catsntrees more recently and it always hurts to find out we've lost another wonderful soul in our merry non-commenting band of brilliant and empathic lovely people.
Im so sorry to hear this. Warm condolences to his family
This is a loss for all of us. If you're still in touch with his brother, please convey our deep, sincere condolences. May his memory always be a blessing.
RIP Jon!
PBUH, our Furry Caterwauling, Jon.
So sorry to hear that. I was hoping that he was just taking a break, as we all have to sometimes. Rest in Power, Jon/Furry Caterwauling!
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that. Furry was one of our best.
He was a kind man and the Wonkzooms he led brought as together every Tuesday and Friday night. He had a warm smile and will be greatly missed.
In honor of Jon/Furry we will have a zoom on Tuesday, March 24 at 8pm ET. We will post a link in that day's OT.
Hosted by The Estivating Hibernian and myself.
If you have any photos of Jon please DM them to Estivating.
Sad news.
Well damn it. I got to meet him in person at one of the Portland Wonkmeets a couple of years ago. He was a really nice person. And great to talk to about lots of different things.
I'll miss him.
Sanae should have gotten up and left.

Gary, this is so scary….I read it all and thought the Orange 💩said all of it. EVERY WORD SOUNDS LIKE HIM!!!
Shambles keeps asking "Goofus or Gallant... right? Right? Amirite or amirite?"
Goofus doesn’t wash his hands after he picks his nose and scratches his ass.
Gallant offers to wipe things up.

He’s got to be the biggest blundering old fool the world has ever known.
No one has blundered or done foolishness more than him.

Come to think of it, Trump is worse.
Robert Mueller has died. The idiot's reaction was, "Good. I'm glad he's dead." How presidential of him.
