We cats have been in Canada for the last two weeks. So while we were able to observe St. Jean Baptiste Day and Canada Day (complete with fireworks), the Fourth of July got by without us.
Actually, although we're looking forward to returning home, we have to say it was kind of nice to be out of the US for awhile. Because it meant we could be away from:
Guns. We see that lots of Americans shot one another over the holiday weekend. What's that about? Canadians have guns, too. They just don't seem to use them as much.
Ann Coulter. That woman — if indeed she is a woman — is so repugnant we usually barely take notice of her. But with her inane comments about the World Cup, she's managed to offend two key constituencies whose votes the Republicans dearly want and need. After all, who in the US loves soccer more than Hispanics and girls?
The boys on the Supreme Court. Why is it that, in Antonin Scalia's and Samuel Alito's America, gun owners and anti-choice crusaders have more rights than women needing contraception?
Teabaggers. Canadians don't drive around with Gadsden Flag license plates on their cars. So we don't miss those one bit. But we admit we're loving all the fights the Republicans are having down in Mississippi.
Richard Mellon Scaife — whoops! Never mind. We cats PURR.
