Tidbits and Cat Treats: Money and Morals Edition

By Zamboni

The holidays are indeed upon us, and we cats have a whirlwind week before hitting the road for northern climes. But we couldn't help pausing to muse on the following stories in the news.

Looks like the Republicans went back on their word and dropped more than three-quarters of a million bucks on Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin's hopeless campaign for Senate last month. As Democrats, we cats say: Thank goodness they squandered that money in Missouri — and not in North Dakota or Montana or Wisconsin! (Why are they so stupid?)

Speaking of money spent late in the campaign, it appears that casino mogul Sheldon Adelson wasted a cool $10 million on Willard Mitt Romney just before Willard went down to ignominious defeat. Which makes us grin like Cheshire cats. But we wonder why Republicans give Sheldon — who makes all his money from sin — such a pass on family values. And why reporters don't ask them about that.

It seems like only yesterday that folks were speculating whether Paul Ryan, defeated for Vice President but re-elected by his constituents in Wisconsin, would eschew returning to Congress and burnish his pre-2016 reputation in think-tank world instead. Well, guess what, Paul? The Heritage Foundation has decided you're too damaged for them. Sorry!

Now that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases on marriage equality, we cats just have one question: For whom did Ted Olson vote for President this year?

Finally, Charlie Crist has become a Democrat. Oh, gosh, that segue from gay marriage was another total coincidence.
