Okay, we cats need to get over a serious case of the heebie-jeebies. Not only has Southwest Airlines grounded a ton of planes because they might peel open mid-flight, but bodies from the 2009 Air France crash have been found on the ocean floor. Brrrr!
What better way to distract ourselves than to scream about the sad, sorry developments on the KSM front?
We cats should have known that the idea of trying an alleged September 11 conspirator in a federal court in the heart of Manhattan was too good to be true. Today, Attorney General Holder announced that the Obama Administration had thrown in the towel and decided to try Khalid Sheik Mo-whatshisname in a military tribunal at Gitmo.
So, in short, we're back where we started from — in Bush/Cheney Land. Consider us cats disgusted.
On the other hand, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has nominated an openly gay woman to serve on the state's Supreme Judicial Court.
Two steps back, one step forward. Not quite even steven, but we're getting there.
(IMAGE: Nope, this isn't Lady Justice, but sometimes this is how we cats feel about the frustrating lack of progress in our country. Ah, well — tomorrow is another day.)
