We cats have observed some behavior recently that's either going to bring the perpetrators a nice shiny Radio Flyer on Christmas morning, or a stocking full of coal. For example:
The only thing we wonder about Willard Mitt Romney's $10,000 bet is whether Romney was that stupid spontaneously, or if it was planned. No pun intended, but we'd bet on the latter. We can just see his campaign team sitting around strategizing, and somebody saying, "Hey, the next time someone accuses the Governor of flip-flopping, he should lay down a bet!" And everyone else exclaiming, "Great idea!" (Not.)
The Republicans used to adore our men and women in the Armed Forces. They'd use them as props in all of George W. Bush's blustering speeches. But now that Don't Ask, Don't Tell is history, they're not feeling the love any more. Particularly for the gay ones. (Willard Mitt Rommey, again. Who, by the way, we don't think ever served.)
So now Rick Perry is the proud recipient of the Sarah Palin "I Didn't Know Africa Was a Continent" Award. "Solynda"? A country?
Sigh. We cats are running out of retail stores to go to. We haven't shopped at Target since they gave money to that homophobe Tom Emmer in Minnesota. Now Lowe's Home Improvement is dancing to the Florida Family Association's tune and pulling its ads from a Muslim-themed reality show. We guess that it'll be a long time before "Little Mosque on the Prairie" is syndicated in the U.S.
It sure is ironic (not to mention amusing) that Scott Walker supporters in Wisconsin are so scared of the Democrats that they're defacing recall petitions. Not only is Santa taking note, so is law enforcement: Messing up petitions is a violation of election fraud laws — a felony. Ha!
POLITICO reports that 68 percent of those polled don't know that the Dodd-Frank Act provides new protections to workplace whistleblowers. We cats completely blame the White House for this. (And you thought we were just knee-jerk Obama lovers.) For some reason this Administration does a crappy job of celebrating — and communicating — its successes. Like health care reform. Let's hope they get better at it before next November.
