A Game for Pussies

By Baxter

We cats own this headline. Not just because we know all things feline, but because one of our favorite humans, many years ago, decided golf was an utter waste of time. Why? He heard a T.V. commentator declare a "courageous putt."

(Storming the beaches at Normandy, blow-torching caves on Iwo Jima or facing billy clubs, firehoses and police dogs in Birmingham takes courage. Putting? — eh, not so much.)

But now we have additional evidence that golf is for losers. Check out this swastika carved into the 18th green at the Lakeville Country Club in Massachusetts.

As you might imagine, the Secret Service is investigating. Good thing, since President Obama is scheduled to visit Boston on Oct. 23. Please, gentlemen, err on the side of caution. We cats already are nervous enough that the President will make a speech at Texas A&M tomorrow. We don't trust Texas; we'd hate to think we can't trust Massachusetts, either.

Meanwhile, we PURR at the Secret Service and send them good thoughts. If anyone is overworked because of the nutbags these days, it's them.
