Tidbits and Cat Treats, 4.0

By Sniffles

None of these items merits a post in and of itself, because most involve people who either are nutcases or better off banished to the far side of the moon. But we couldn't pass them up without some commentary.

Dick Cheney — the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived If Indeed He Were a Person — is still mad that George W. Bush didn't pardon his convicted-criminal aide, I. Lewis "We Refuse to Call Him 'Scooter'" Libby. Awwww, too bad. Should make a nice postscript to the upcoming film "Fair Game," which we hope will star Sean Penn (sigh, PURR).

The members of the inside-the-Beltway "Gridiron Club" are miffed that President Obama won't attend their dinner on March 21. He'll be the first President since Grover Cleveland not to dine with those creaky, self-important blowhards during his first year in office. We cats say, Good for you, Mr. President. What better way to say that family matters more? This is Change We Need.

And then there's that freshman Republican Congressman from Florida who, in a move (we guess) to appease his party's crazy base, has introduced legislation to compel Presidential candidates to offer up copies of their birth certificates.

The true target, of course, is President Obama — although "Obama has actually produced a copy of his Hawaii birth certificate, and it has been certified by the state," reports Politico. No co-sponsors for the bill have yet emerged.

We cats say, fine — you Republicans keep focusing on this ridiculous non-issue, ever-marginalizing yourselves, while the rest of us fix the country that Bush and Cheney broke.
