Tidbits and Cat Treats — Everyone's Upset Edition

By Miss Kubelik

What is it? The fickle spring weather? March Madness? An overdose of news about Charlie Sheen? Whatever the explanation, we cats think people are getting way too testy these days. Here are a few examples.

Vladimir Putin is shocked, shocked that the Western allies are preventing Ghadafi from slaughtering his own people in Libya. Note to Vlad: Good heavens, you jerk. If you're so offended by this, why didn't Russia simply vote "no" in the UN Security Council? You doth protest too much, we thinks. (Ditto to you, China.)

And Dennis Kucinich, shame on you.

Meanwhile, on the weenie Republican side, the potential 2012ers are either fulminating or keeping mum about Libya. (Something we wish Dennis Kucinich would do.) Gee. We cats are wondering what happened to the Republican self-identification with beleaguered peoples. Where is the candidate declaring, "We are all Libyans now"?

On that note, allow us cats to be vexed with something ourselves.

We've tried not to pay too much attention to the famous killer from Alaska and her trip to India and the Middle East — mainly because she clearly has no desire to be President (too much work), and we think that she's teasing the media with the possibility of a 2012 run because it suits her financial purposes.

But we find it amazing that a half-term Governor who never built a profile in the American-Israeli community can score some easy media coverage by showing up at the Western Wall and meeting with that pain in the ass, Bibi Netanyahu (who also should be ashamed of himself, by the way). Puh-leez. Did she ever visit a synagogue while campaigning for Governor of Alaska?  Is there a Jewish place of worship in Wasilla (population, 10,000)? How many Jewish events did she do while running for two months for Vice President? How many other paid commentators on FOX "News" (besides Fat Mike Huckabee, who's a minister) get coverage of their trips to Israel?

Dennis Kucinich, move over.

P.S. The Reagan vest? Tsk! If Nancy were coherent, she'd die.
