Tidbits and Cat Treats: First Weekend In 2013 Edition

By Baxter

Have you noticed? There's so much in the news with the New Year's dawn. Here are a few items that have caught our attention between naps.

Sorry, Orly Taitz, but it's official: America has re-elected Barack Obama. In the meantime, Obama supporters, if you've got a spare 80 minutes to kill, watch Joe Biden swear in new and returning Senators and schmooze with their families. Who says there's no civility in Washington?

Tempted to believe Republican denials of a GOP war on women? Guess again: A Texas judge has ruled that the state can strip Planned Parenthood of its funding. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has signed off-the-wall abortion legislation. ("Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell has done the same in the dark of night.) And of course, the incompetent House Of Boehner adjourned without passing the Violence Against Women Act. Please tell us cats why any woman should vote Republican, ever.

We cats still wanna know why Republican Senator and Mormon drunk Mike "Crapo" was in Washington days before Christmas, instead of being home in Idaho with his family. And what's this about using shots of vodka to medicate his "stress"? Mikey has a lot of 'splainin' to do.

We're also amazed at Connecticut gun owners' continuing umbrage at the Journal News' gun registry publication. They say they're afraid for their own safety. Why? They have guns.

Finally, while we won't inflict their actual comments on you, trust us when we say that the right-wing maniacs at Free Republic are really upset about this. Lots of 'em appear ready to bolt for a Palin-West third party. Which makes us cats PURR.
