What a busy news week this has been. We cats have been on sensory overload, but here are some stories that have stood out for us.
The murders of the three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina have all the markings of a hate crime. But maybe it's about... parking? This Hicks guy sounds like a George Zimmerman-type neighborhood vigilante. Which means there's one thing we know for sure: Take away the guns, and the Muslim kids are alive today.
Want to tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to cancel his stupid speech to Congress? It's easy: Email him at bnetanyahu@knesset.gov.il. If he still does the speech, write him again and ask for our US tax dollars back.
Why is it that Republicans scream about "choice" only when it's about vaccines and not women's reproductive freedom?
Speaking of which: In all the discussions of the brouhaha that followed President Obama's "Crusades" remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, we never heard any pundit or columnist ask why we have a National Prayer Breakfast in the first place. And we never heard anyone cite the murders of abortion providers by Christian fanatics.
Finally, there's an old saying that no one's irreplaceable, but Jon Stewart just might be. We cats were fixed long ago, but we've always wanted to have Jon Stewart's kittens. We'll just have to jump up on his lap and PURR instead.
P.S.: Here's the Jon Stewart question nobody's asking yet: Who will be his last guest? Hillary Rodham Clinton? Pope Francis? The Dalai Lama? Start your Internet meme today!
