Well! It's the Attack of the Giant Google Glitch. We cats, along with many other bloggers who use this fabulous software, have been, um, kind of indisposed the last couple of days. But we're happy to report that not only can we post again, our previously published ruminations have returned. Thank you, Blogger — and a happy Friday the 13th to you, too.
So let's not waste another moment, and get to our newest musings.
Democrats have received some good 2012 news lately — and no, we're not talking about the killing of Osama bin Laden. First Congressman Joe Donnelly declared he will run for Richard Lugar's Indiana Senate seat, and now Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez is filing candidate paperwork in the race to replace Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison from Texas. Two big, back-to-back recruitment wins for the Democrats in red states. But are any pundits spinning it that way? Somehow, we doubt it.
Turns out that Republican nut Ron Paul, who (yawn) declared today that he's running for President again, says he would not have ordered the bin Laden mission. Which means that, with President Paul, bin Laden would still be holed up in his compound, watching porn on his thumb drives. But, gee, think about it — under a Paul Administration, which would cut the federal budget to practically zero, we wouldn't have the wherewithal to find bin Laden in the first place.
We cats send a big PURR in the direction of Jon Huntsman, who wrote the following note note to a gay supporter in North Carolina: "Let's hope that someday...all people are seen as equal under the laws of our land." Our nutty right-wing friends over at Free Republic, however, are less impressed with former Ambassador Huntsman's correspondence.
Finally, and — oh, gosh. We can only mention in passing the Senate Ethics Committee's jaw-dropping report on slimeball former Senator John Ensign. It's 75 pages long, and we cats have only just started it — but one glance at that incendiary table of contents is proof that all that silly Beltway buzz about "Presidential timber" is pure, pardon the expression, bullshit. This awful Ensign man should never have come anywhere near the halls of Congress, let alone thought for a moment that he could reach 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And he's a veterinarian! More later on his many transgressions. But in the meantime, suffice to say that the Freepers are apparently so appalled, they can't even bear to post on it.
