With so many different news stories competing for our attention, we cats have decided to post a grab-bag of topics before we take our fourth afternoon nap of the day. Here goes.
We must take a moment to salute our chief diplomat, Hillary Rodham Clinton— not just for her surprise visit to Kabul but her entire State Department tenure thus far.
We think that Ms. Clinton will be viewed by historians as one of the most effective Secretaries of State, ever. President Obama may have received the Nobel Peace Prize for restoring America's standing with the world, but Hillary has worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the last three years to make stuff happen. Kudos to her — and kudos to the President, for one of his wisest hires.
We cats are against red ties. When Rick Perry wears one, it makes him look like a hard-nosed bully. (Of course, he probably is a hard-nosed bully.) When President Obama wears one, it just doesn't flatter him as well as an ice-blue or silver tie does. And of course our opinion has nothing to do with that whole political-party, red-blue thing.
We don't understand why anyone should be upset that Susan Sarandon called Pope Benedict a Nazi. Pope Benedict was a Nazi.
We refuse to read this awful story from Ohio, about the jerk who kept exotic animals and then threw their cages open before committing suicide. You know what? People have no business keeping animals. Unless, of course, the animals are us. We're domestic companions — lions and tigers and bears aren't. We cats HISS.
Finally, we just had to beam in, at least for a couple of minutes, to see what the right-wing nutjobs at Free Republic were saying about last night's GOP debate. This is not a scientific survey. But we noted a sudden absence of enthusiasm for "Herb" Cain, a total abandoning of Rick Perry, a sustained hatred for Mitt Romney, and an abruptly renewed appreciation for Newt Gingrich.
But overall? One commenter posted the following: "I worry for the nation if these are the best candidates the GOP can offer."
We agree, dear Freeper, we agree.
