Yum!

By Zamboni

We cats couldn't make it to the Netroots Nation conference in Texas this weekend. First, we had serious responsibilities here at home — napping, kneading our owners, eating, and chasing up wadded-up balls of tissue paper. But second, we didn't think that the Austin Convention Center allowed attendees with four legs.

Oh, well! We'll get over it, because we can watch neat streaming video at the Netroots Nation website. But we have to admit we're a little jealous of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who was joined onstage today by one of our favorite humans in the whole world, President Al Gore.

In fact, Speaker Pelosi got a big hug from President Gore. Gosh, how lucky can a girl get?

Why do we love President Gore so? Because he's been right on everything. Because he loves his wife. Because he sacrificed himself for the good of the country when the Supreme Fix was in. Because he won the Nobel Peace Prize (take that, Ronnie Reagan fans!). Because he's going to help us all save the planet.

And because if it weren't for visionaries like him, we cats wouldn't be blogging on the Internet today!

We send warm, scratchy kisses and little love bites to President Gore. Time to go watch Netroots video now. Before our next nap.
