Thanks to the teabaggers in Congress and the fools at Standard & Poor's who said all those junk mortgages were okay a few years back, we cats have lost a ton of money in the stock market today. But oh, well — we're in it for long haul, so we're not going anywhere. In the meantime, here are some easy political shots to brighten our spirits.
Now we know for sure: Rick Perry didn't pray right on Saturday. Because one of his biggest fund raisers died in a car crash yesterday. Since the dead guy was also a funder of the Swift Boat liars and other unregulated campaign evils, we cats are unmoved. Except that now we're wondering if there really is a God after all.
We love this Republican carping about how bad it is that Tim Geithner is staying on as Treasury Secretary. But how, we ask, would any new appointee get through this whacko Congress? Yep, better to stay until those Republican nutjobs can be sent home next November.
Conservatives are upset that the latest Newsweek cover "makes" Michele Bachmann look crazy. We cats wonder: Do these same people think that all photographers "make" Marcus Bachmann look fruity?
Finally, On Wisconsin. Tomorrow is the first of the state senate recall elections in the Badger State. As usual with recalls and special elections, we're in uncharted territory here. Also as usual, Republicans have behaved execrably. We weren't so dinged in the stock market that we didn't send a few bucks to ActBlue. We hope you do, too.
