By SnifflesHere are some major snafus that are commanding our attention on this gorgeous Friday afternoon in the National Capital area.
Perhaps deciding that its state had had enough of bad publicity lately, Arizona's legislature has canned its silly birth certificate bill. "Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed [President] Obama's citizenship, and his Hawaiian birth certificate has been made public," The New York Times reports. 'Nuff said.
Charlie Crist will run for the Senate as an independent, declaring, "Our political system is broken." (No, Charlie, you idiot. The system isn't broken — the Republican Party is. We cats are disappointed to see that you have no balls after all.) Meanwhile, we're waiting for someone to observe that the conveniently married Mr. Crist erred by appointing his political Rasputin, George LeMieux, to Mel Martinez's Senate seat — thereby severing the head of his political "machine" and leaving himself incapable of responding to even the slightest changes in Florida's political landscape. And now LeMieux is saying he won't support Crist in the Senate race. Tsk!
Bob McDonnell, the Confederate history guy, has once again shown his true colors by deciding to allow Virginia state troopers to refer to Jesus in public prayers. First, we cats want to know why state troopers need to be praying in public. Second, what can you expect from a governor who graduated from Regent University?
Do we all know that "BP" stands for "British Petroleum"? Just checking. Gordon Brown can comfort himself that some other of his countrymen have messed up worse than he has this week. But although we appreciate the Obama Administration's announced hold on new offshore drilling, we sure wish the President would stop "standing by" this energy source that the Republicans seem to so desperately want.
Did we mention that the Montreal Canadiens beat the Washington Capitals in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs? Wheee!
