By BaxterWe cats are very fond of head scratches, particularly behind the ears. But just at the moment, we're scratching thanks to these various mind-boggling samplings from the news. Anybody with explanations should please speak up.
So the Dow not only closed strongly today but has just finished an eight-week "up" streak that's the longest in six years. But the teabaggers say President Obama's a socialist? Hm. Seems to us that the folks on Wall Street are doing quite well under the Debs Administration. (P.S. Do the teabaggers know who Eugene V. Debs was? We doubt it.)
Also, new-home sales skyrocketed last month. But the teabaggers — who are financially better-off than your average American — say the economy's in the toilet. Hm, again.
The bigwigs in the Republican Party of Florida are meeting behind closed doors — in a luxury hotel in Tallahassee, mind you — to try to contain the damage from their recent spending-spree scandals. Their former party chair, Jim Greer, charged $500,000 to his RPOF credit card. Right-wing darling Marco Rubio racked up a mere $100,000. There's just one thing we cats don't understand: Why don't the allegedly fiscally prudent teabaggers get all up in arms about stories like this?
And finally, while we're on the subject of the Sunshine State GOP, can they really enforce a "loyalty oath" if Charlie Crist goes independent? Brrrrr. And they call President Obama a Nazi! We cats agree with Will Rogers — maybe it's better for a political party not to be too organized.
