Goodness gracious. We cats are looking at today's headlines and finding a lot to be grateful for (or amused at). Let's review a few as we all get ready for those visions of sugar plums, shall we?
Despite a year and a half of rending garments and gnashing teeth over the so-called IRS "scandal," Darrell Issa and his committee have come up empty. The House Republicans hatehatehate the Internal Revenue Service, but they sure don't seem to have any problem wasting taxpayer money on fruitless witch hunts. When is somebody going to call them out on that?
The economy is booming. This, after Barack Obama inherited the worst financial meltdown since the Great Depression. (Of course, Democrats being weenies, we'll never hear them boasting about any of this. That makes us HISS.)
The world has taken note and will long remember what an idiot Rudolph Giuliani is. And people are also starting to realize how stupid toy guns are. They're both only small nuggets of good news — but we cats, who find all these stories about the police wildly depressing, will take what we can get.
In the category of "WTF, Is That Still the Law?", the FDA is finally allowing gay and bisexual men to donate blood again. Jeez. Now, if we can just get that "celibate for one year" restriction removed.
And finally, the Republican gift that never stops giving: "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell! His lawyers are on their knees begging that Bob be given a zillion hours of community service instead of jail time next month. We cats say, fat chance. But in the unlikely event that Judge Spencer is tempted to agree, we cats have some suggestions for organizations Bob could volunteer at: Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, the Immigration Advocates Network, Gay Men's Health Crisis, the Human Rights Campaign, or the NAACP. We cats PURR.
