"This Just Doesn't Happen Here"

By Sniffles

We cats have received an e-mail with some great photos from the recent anti-Palin demonstration in Alaska.

Although the media didn't choose to cover it much, you may have heard that an idea discussed by a small group of women over coffee turned into a huge rally of 1,400-plus men, women and children. "In Anchorage, if you can get 25 people to show up at an event, it's a success," said one of the organizers.

These clearly were folks who refused to be intimidated by the slurs of right-wing talk radio host Eddie Burke, who told his Anchorage audience that the rally attendees were "a bunch of Socialist, baby-killing maggots." Well, when Mr. Burke dropped in on the event to talk to the media, he was quickly surrounded by a couple dozen of those "maggots" who chanted "O-BA-MA" so loudly that he could not be heard.

We cats PURR and rub up against the ankles of the people in these wonderful pictures. Sarah Palin obviously doesn't speak for all Alaskans — although, like the other lies she tells, she claims to.
