Technological Difficulties


By Sniffles

Something very fishy is going on in the Northern Virginia Technology Council. On Friday, its political wing allegedly decided to endorse Ken "I Never Met a Woman As Smart As a Fetus" Cuccinelli for Governor, but then pulled back on its planned announcement.

The implication is that Terry McAuliffe supporters in the organization complained. But although that may seem benign on the surface, we cats are highly suspicious.

First, why would the Council decide to unveil its endorsement on a Friday? As previously noted, that's a dumb day to get publicity — unless you're trying to hide something.

And, also as previously noted, this past Friday evening happened to mark the start of Yom Kippur. Which sounds like a real news dump to us — as in, some Republicans on the Council thought they could slip this Cootchy nod by. Guess again.

We cats simply have to assume that the women, the gays, the straight couples with exciting sex lives, and all the other clear-thinking Council members caught wind of this and raised holy heck. Or maybe it was just tech-firm owners who despair of ever being able to lure talented employees to Northern Virginia under Governor Cootchy.

Either way this drama plays out — whether the Council proceeds with the Cootch, or switches to Terry, or ultimately declines to endorse — we cats predict that someone will resign in the end. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: The Council has just announced it will stick with the Cootchy nod but tried to paper it over by saying, "Well, we recognize that not every one of our members agrees with this." Gosh. If we were the Cootch, we think we'd want something stronger.
