By Miss KubelikWe've been under the weather lately, so it's been tough to post every day. But goodness gracious, what a week it's been, news-wise. So we can't let it come mercifully to a close without sharing a few observations.
We cats imagine that all those hopeful teabaggers will have to cancel their orders for their "Petraeus 2012" T-shirts now that President Obama has given him other stuff to do.
We're also wondering for the first time if Nevada nutcase Sharron Angle might be right about something: banning alcohol. Ot at least, keeping it off-limits from generals and their staffs. McChrystal might still have his job today if his aides didn't drink all the way from Paris to Berlin.
McChrystal goes rogue, the Senate can't pass the jobs bill, there might be a hurricane heading toward the Gulf... sheesh. We're reminded of a favorite although possibly apocryphal story about John Kennedy, who allegedly turned to Barry Goldwater in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis and said, "So you want this fucking job." We apologize — we're not usually profane, but that quote seems particularly apt this week.
