We're Not Managing This Very Well...

By Sniffles

As we peruse the Sunday headlines, we cats are struck by the number of matters that are spinning out of control but shouldn't be. (NOTE: The no-shows at the Polish President's funeral don't count. Nobody controls a volcano.)

Stephen Harper's clumsy handling of the Helena Guergis affair is stretching, unnecessarily, into its second week. Which has made his Conservative Party plummet in the polls. P.S.: Now, the Ethics Commissioner must investigate new allegations about Palin — oops, we mean Guergis, and her hapless husband.

The repercussions from Virginia Governor McDonnell's self-inflicted boo-boo, "Confederate History Month," won't go away, either. This is partly thanks to the stupidity of Haley Barbour and partly thanks to teabaggers who claim they never called John Lewis the n-word.

But today's prize-winner has to be Pope Panzer — otherwise known as Benedict XVI — who can't even seem to shake his organization's sex-abuse scandal on a harmless overseas trip. (Notice that we cats said "organization," and not "church." No real church would foment, condone and cover up such repugnant sins.)
