Happy Martin Luther King Day. As we honor America's great hero of non-violence and civil rights, we cats have a few — perhaps naughty — thoughts. But our claws are sheathed while we think them, if that helps. Here they are.
It's difficult to muster a lot of sympathy for Arizona teabagger Trent Humphries, who initially blamed Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords for going out in public without security and who now feels a little insecure himself. Gee, Trent — too bad, too bad.
Remember how we cats said that the media should ignore the famous killer from Alaska until she agreed to submit to their questions and make herself accountable to the American people? Well, Sean Hannity doesn't count. We meant real journalists. Ignore, ignore, ignore.
Bravo to Senators Charles Schumer and Tom Coburn, who have said they'll be seat mates at next week's State of the Union address. May the other 98 Senators and the 435 members of the House follow their fine example.
Finally, we're sorry to report that our wild and woolly right-wing pals over at Free Republic don't want any part of this new civility thing. They're still hopping mad. "I WANT the left to physically lash out against innocent people because then I’d be within my rights to return fire," screams one. "Screw them and anyone that looks like them! They are the enemy of freedom."
Sigh. Mr. President, we think you have your work cut out for you.
