Jesus Loves Us Democratic Cats

By Baxter

Several things are making us cats happy today.

One is the fact that the stock market went up. (Like the rest of America, we're sick of it going down.) Another is listening to the Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown Christmas" CD while we finish putting up the tree. (Believe us, holiday decorations are tough when you don't have any thumbs. Vince helps the work go by more easily.)

But another is hearing that Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin are leading in a poll for the GOP nomination in 2012.

Whee! Could the Republican Party be tying itself any more tightly to religious nutbags? And could we be more pleased? We think not. The fact that Huckabee likes to air ads with subliminal crosses in them and that Palin is still trying to explain why the RNC spent $180,000 on clothes and spa treatments for her are just icing on the cake. God is so good to us!

You go, Republicans! Keep leaning toward those fringe maniacs. Meanwhile, with Barack Obama and Joe Biden, we'll try to extricate the country from the, shall we say, unholy mess George W. Bush has left it in.

We cats PURR.
