Wow, we cats can scarcely believe the beleaguered state so many people we dislike find themselves in these days. Which makes us PURR. Here's a short list to start your weekend.
Michele Bachmann apparently has raised a paltry $2 million for her silly Presidential run. We cats say paltry for several reasons. First, although you'll see stories about her having raised $4 million, note that half of it comes from an injection of cash from her Congressional fund. Which doesn't count.
Second, it's paltry because the Bachmann campaign allowed the punditry to quote an anticipated figure of $8 million — without shutting it down. Bad expectations management, Michele. Tsk.
Never mind the fact that Jon Stewart and Jerry Seinfeld basically questioned Marcus Bachmann's sexual orientation this week. We cats have nothing to say beyond the fact that we've observed that people who are virulently anti-homosexual frequently turn out to be homosexual themselves.
Eric Cantor has become public enemy number one. But we think this blogger has the best Cantor characterization we've ever read.
On the Rupert Murdoch front, we awoke this morning to hear that Rebekah "Better Dead Than Red" Brooks had finally thrown in the towel over at News International. Our first thought? Oh, goody, Rupert is unhappy. (He dotes on her; we're sure that at some point we'll find out exactly why.) Our second thought? Maybe now she'll have time to find a good hairdresser.
And finally, noticias caliente: The CEO of Dow Jones has just resigned himself. So Murdoch-gate has definitively jumped the Atlantic. This is as big a loss to Rupert over here as Brooks is in the U.K. And we cats predict that Robert Mueller and Eric Holder and Eric Schneiderman and Mary Schapiro and the U.S. media — and who knows who else digging into this — will find, in the elegant words of Ernie Hudson, sh-t that will turn you white.
