Tidbits and Cat Treats — Post-Oscar Edition

By Zamboni

Gosh, we cats never thought we'd see the day when we agree with Kenneth Starr. But the man who was so obsessed with President Clinton's sex life now has gone after Liz Cheney for her McCarthy-like tactics against DOJ lawyers. We give a low PURR in Mr. Starr's direction (but only a low one, because we know how easily he gets excited). And we have two questions: First, why should any of us care what Liz Cheney thinks? And second, why aren't people scolding Bill Kristol too?

Seriously, whoever this Cheney person is, we hope she gets some therapy.

Speaking of people who need therapy, Sarah Palin apparently admitted over the weekend that her family used to routinely visit Canada for its excellent health care. Quite a surprise considering how the famous quitter from Alaska has vilified Canada's single-payer system. Therefore, we can only conclude that Palin is either a liar or a hypocrite. We vote for both.

And on the subject of voting, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences elected its "best" last night. We cats admit we did not watch, although many people apparently did. We're just relieved that James Cameron came away pretty much empty-handed. We still haven't forgiven him for the multiple hairballs we hacked over "Titanic." (You know... that movie with the screenplay that was written by a 16-year-old girl.)

But, we digress. We've just learned that the Supreme Court will decide whether Fred Phelps' hate speech is Constitutionally protected. We cats are bracing ourselves.
