It's interesting to us cats that Tropical Storm Lee, tracked by the government agency that the Republicans want to cut, soon will be chugging through the South and up to the Mid-Atlantic. Right on the heels of the drenching from Hurricane Irene, and just in time for the President's jobs speech to Congress.
We sincerely hope that the President refuses to re-reschedule, that he drags Congressional Republicans to Capitol Hill through torrents of rain — and makes them sit there, sopping and cold, while he lectures them on their lack of patriotism.
Meanwhile, though, we're interested to note that Lee will completely bypass the drought-stricken state of Texas. Whassup with that? We thought that Rick Perry said back in April that if his constituents begged Him hard enough, God would send rain. (Of course, Perry also held that silly prayer event last month to ask God to fix America. And then it turned out that the Republicans' friends in the business world did absolutely no hiring in August. Hm.)
And speaking of the Lone Star State, we wonder how Texans feel about the fact that their Governor is prancing around the country running for President while they're home grappling with unprecedented drought and wildfires. It all sounds terribly Biblical to us — but Perry is too busy shaking hands in Iowa and South Carolina to care.
But maybe it's not simply Biblical. Maybe it's divine retribution. We cats prefer to think that God is punishing Texas because Rick Perry executed all those people, including a probably innocent man.
