We cats have been a little bit out of the loop this week, being en vacances, but a few news items have managed to intrude into our consciousness:
The Quebec student strike continues, as do the talks to end them. We cats are mildly surprised that we've been in Montreal since Saturday and haven't seen one manifestation yet. But maybe we're glad about that, since the current tactic is to march through the streets at night, banging pots and pans.
Here's a North Carolina business we all should get behind: Replacements, Ltd. has run into a buzzsaw of homophobia since its owner came out against the state's recent gay-marriage ban. We cats are loyal customers, and although we don't currently need any additions to our china collection (eating mostly out of cat bowls as we do), we plan to place an order soon, just to show our support.
You know, we don't really think that "Polish death camps" is a misnomer exactly. Goodness gracious, don't we all know that the camps were run by the Nazis? But here's a difference between the President and Republicans like Romney: Obama is so intelligent that when he misspeaks you know it's truly a slip of the tongue. With Willard, not so much. (He really does think that corporations are people.)
If Romney is silly enough to stand on the same stage with unrepentant birther idiot Donald Trump, we think that no journalist should allow an interview with Willard to conclude without asking him when he'll release his tax returns.
Speaking of which, we find Romney's cell phone app misspelling the word "America" highly suspect. We think we'd better ask for Willard's birth certificate.
Finally, we cats would like to take a moment to HISS in the direction of all the liberal losers who said that there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between Democrats like Al Gore and GOP disasters like the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived (or, for that matter, who said that Ronald Reagan couldn't possibly be worse than Jimmy Carter). Just look at the Roberts court and Citizens United and try to say that again with a straight face. The damage that this right-wing court is wreaking has been incalculable — and to all those on the left who'd prefer to sacrifice the good in pursuit of the perfect, we cats dump our dirty litter boxes over your heads.
