We cats have nine lives — so we well remember how we felt 40 years ago today when we saw Richard Nixon give that really weird speech in the East Room and then lift off from the South Lawn and out of Washington forever. One word says it: Yippppeeee!
So we're in a pretty good mood today, even though some of the latest headlines aren't so hot. Here's a quick round-up of our thoughts before our next nap.
We cats refuse to have kittens over what the US is doing in Iraq. To quote one of our faithful readers, we're delivering some humanitarian aid with a few bombs on the side. Read all about it here, before our brief attention spans get captivated by the next big thing. Sheesh.
If the repulsive and whiny Bob FitzSimmonds — who recently resigned his post with the Virginia Republican Party — called a GOP Congressional candidate a "twat," what does he call his boss at the circuit court, Michele McQuigg, behind her back?
We don't understand why Rand Paul gets to plagiarize but John Walsh doesn't.
Finally, although Richard Nixon left the White House four decades ago today, sadly, the politics he ushered in on the Republican side are still with us. Nixon's "Southern strategy" and Agnew's "effete corps of impudent snobs" have morphed into the aggrieved bleatings of the teabaggers and racists of today. We cats hope to have 10 or 11 or even 12 lives, so we see demographics change to the point where Nixon descendants and all-around jackasses like Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz and Mo Brooks are gone forever. That would make us PURR.
