Tidbits and Cat Treats — Back To Reality Edition

By Sniffles

Time to hit the road again for the land of E Pluribus Unum. We cats have enjoyed Quebec, and feel sorry for any tourists who canceled their trips here because of the student protests. (We've yet to see one.) In the meantime, here are some news items that made us appreciate being offline for awhile.

What's going to happen in Wisconsin? We cats have seen lots of polls. How can they be reliable? We ask because we're not sure how one polls for a type of election that's never been held there before. There's no turnout model for a recall, so we're not confident that anyone can accurately gauge likely Badger State voters over registered Badger State voters. Therefore, despite premature Republican victory laps, we'll bide our time and see what actually happens.

Let's make sure we have this right: Thaddeus McCotter is too stupid to get a measly 1,000 signatures to qualify for his Congressional re-election campaign, but he thought he was smart enough to be President?

Whoops, we cats think that "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell just dropped off the Willard veep list due to a sudden attack of Cory Booker Disease.

The only jerk masquerading as a person whom we cats will miss less than John Edwards is Tim Thomas. (Assuming, of course, that both of them do the right thing and disappear from our sight forever.)

Last but not least, now that the Republicans seem to have embraced the inevitability of Willard's nomination, we cats are looking back at what was probably the worst primary in political history and mulling over Questions That The Media Didn't Ask. The first one that pops into our heads is for Rick Perry: Governor, when did the Perry family farm, which has been passed down from generation to generation, first get electricity? Was it thanks to the federal government? And if so, will you pay Washington back with interest?
