Cryptoquote Spoiler – 08/25/17

“Giving up doesn’t mean you’re weak.  Sometimes you’re just strong enough to let go.”   —   Taylor Swift

(Wow!  I have to admit this is a pretty good quote.  Are we sure she wasn’t paraphrasing someone else?  Either way, I still can’t be bothered by her kind of music.  Sorta country, sorta pop.  Yer uncle is an alt rocker.  I felt bad for the whole Kanye interruption thing, but I’m sure that made her bigger than she was at the time.  So, that very easily could have been orchestrated.  I always felt the same way about John Travolta’s messing up Idina Menzels’s name.  Adela Dazeem???  C’mon!  That wasn’t even close.  Had to be a set up.  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  Liberty Call, Liberty Call!

CUPHO  =  POUCH,  ONRIY  =  IRONY,  LIPRAL  =  PILLAR,  GLIYHH  =  HIGHLY   —   Giving us:  POHIOYPARHIH

Clue/Question:  When the hula dancers entertained the sailors, the sailors said – – –

Answer:  HIP HIP HOORAY

(I love it!  Great pun!  All of today’s clue words are old favorites.  And, three of the four jumbles have been used before.  Only “onriy” came up as new.  I had a heck of a time with “lipral” to “pillar”.  I had to skip it, and come back to it.  At least I didn’t have to back into it.  The answer letter layout swayed rhythmically, and gave us nothing but aloha!  A great Polynesian cartoon, with a possible volcano in the background and a setting sun.  Uh oh, Jeff gave us tiki torches!  He must have come up with this cartoon prior to the clashes and tragedy at Charlottesville.  But, he was “politically correct” in including a female sailor!  We have many, many women who serve proudly in all branches of the military.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Why NOT Hillary

Wow! I’m not a half-bad writer. LOL! I just found this post from March 20, 2008, because some spammer just attempted to post a reply to it. For people who wonder why I did not vote for Hillary Clinton this past November, this post goes a pretty long way to explaining my reasoning. Add in the fact that the DNC and the corporate media colluded to make her the presumptive Democratic candidate, from the very beginning, and completely dismissed and excluded Bernie Sanders, and you’ll get a good picture of why I felt no compunction to vote for her, despite her main rival being about as distasteful a candidate as I’ve ever seen! For the record, I cast my vote for Jill Stein, because the Green Party fits in with my memory of what the – now probably fully corrupted – Democratic party used to stand for. That and she wasn’t Donald or Hillary! Be well and do good, friends. — YUR

First, let me say that I have voted twice for Hillary Clinton, as US Senator from New York.  She is an extremely intelligent person, who has more experience and connections, within the Democratic Party machine, than Barack Obama.  She has shown great courage, both in standing by Bill, during some very trying times, and in the face of all the flack she has taken over the years . . . mostly for being an opinionated woman.  While she was the First Lady the conservatives threw everything at her but the proverbial kitchen sink.  She IS a force to be reckoned with.

But, in this citizen’s opinion, she has sold out the Democratic Party, and is living up to the nickname that some have given her: Bush-Lite.  Why do I say that?  Well, consider the following:

She was one, of many, who voted to give George W. Bush the authority to…
