The end of the holidays means that the "slow-news" season is over. The world officially returns to work tomorrow, and news stories will start cascading upon us once more. But here are a few thoughts that are occupying us while we get ready for the 2011 onslaught.
We wish that the teabaggers cared more about rising global temperatures than about the U.S. debt climbing toward its limit. We can always raise the debt ceiling. But if we don't stop climate change, we're all cooked.
More evidence that people are meaner and nastier than ever before: The Pittsburgh Penguins left the ice at last night's Winter Classic without shaking hands with the victorious Washington Capitals. We cats bemoan the lack of civility and sportsmanship that seems to be everywhere these days — and we've decided to blame the most famous self-proclaimed hockey mom (the New "Queen of Mean") for most of it.
Here's a nifty idea we've heard: If Michael Vick should be executed, so should Dick Cheney.
We're loving the cat fights among North Carolina Republicans over Senator Richard Burr's vote to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Why, says one outraged Charlotte county commissioner, Burr's vote was an endorsement of immorality and sexual predation! So we know this commissioner guy is worried that our troops will get hit on by lustful homosexuals. We wonder how he feels about Palins getting pregnant without benefit of marriage?
Finally, speaking of cat fights, we're looking forward to the upcoming skirmishes for RNC chair. Will the GOP dump the hapless moron Michael Steele in favor of a guy who supports white-supremacist hate groups? We can't wait to see!
