Nutsferatu enjoys lunch under a canopy of fall foliage at Billeh's Rooftop Nut Cafe...

Bill in Portland Maine @billinportland.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Millie dropped by to enjoy the fall colors (not yet at peak here in Portland, Maine) and chit the chat during brunch at Billeh's Rooftop Nut Cafe. She says she's not quite ready to start packing on the pounds for winter yet. But soon. Soon.

"There's a feeling in the air, my puppy friend, like something amazing is about to happen." "Like Billeh's Friday edition of Cheers and Jeers is posting at 7:15ET/4:15PT over at Dailykos.com, my squirrel friend?" "No, puppy. I said something amazing." "Grrrrr..."

Time it takes for a greedy squirrel to run across the roof and ram the squirrel at the window like a bowling ball so he can horn in on the nut-dispensing action: 0.75 seconds. We timed it.

All the devastating Trump quips that everyone said should automatically be in Democratic midterm ads: "I love the inflation," "It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare," "I don't think about Americans' financial situation" etc. Anyone seen any of those in ads? I haven't.

A lengthy NPR article on withdrawal of our last troops from the Iraq War, and not a single mention of the war-criminal architects of a war they started under 100% false pretenses: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney the neocon dolts of PNAC. Not one. www.npr.org/2026/09/30/n...

U.S. military withdraws from Iraq two decades after invasion

23 years after the United States military invaded Iraq, sparking an insurgency and a civil war, the U.S. has withdrawn its forces, as the country still tries to combat Iranian influence.

You don't need to have a lovely new pedicure and a belly full of fresh almonds to join Billeh this evening at 7:15ET/4:15PT for his Friday edition of "Cheers and Jeers" over at Dailykos.com. But it doesn't hurt.

Hooray! This is "One Eye," a female who became a regular last fall. (Named for a winter eye injury, since healed.) She disappeared in mid-August, but showed up this morning happy and healthy. Probably took a break to raise some kiddos. Great to have her back. She says hi.

The Obama family shared that Sunny passed away yesterday after 13 years by their side. She was fiercely protective of her big brother, Bo, and we can imagine the two of them together again. Today, hold your pets a little closer and cherish every moment you share.

Thanks to a generous benefactor, today we added fresh pecans to brunch at Billeh's Rooftop Nut Cafe.* Nutsferatu's reaction was typical, especially among the kiddos who hadn't tried one yet: "More, please!" * All you can eat just $4.95 plus tax from 9 til 2.

As long as we understand that every request, every subpoena, every warrant will be ignored, then appealed, and appealed, and appealed, and the process will take years. Anyone expecting any progress before the 2028 elections is in for a world of disappointment.
