Happy 150th anniversary of Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox! Coincidentally, we cats are headed to the Deep South for a day or two, but in the meantime, these news nuggets are catching our eye.
Considering what Brian Williams was caught lying about, perhaps "shell-shocked" is the wrong word to describe how he feels about his suspension.
Did you hear? The US Energy Information Administration says that the Iran nuclear deal could further reduce oil prices by $5 to $15 a barrel. No wonder all those Republicans from fracking states signed Tom Cotton's treasonous letter.
Now that Rand Paul has gotten bitchy with Savannah Guthrie over his post-libertarian flip-flops, all reporters have to do going forward is just read his previous statements to him — verbatim — and ask him to respond. Like this little gem about civil rights: "I think it’s a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant — but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership." Or, on Israel: "Should we be giving free money or welfare to a wealthy nation? I don’t think so."
Finally, now that President Obama has come out against "conversion" therapy, we think it's only a matter of time before the teabags and the Jesus-freak nutcases add that to their "infringing on our religion" list. (P.S.: Guess who signed a ban against conversion therapy in New Jersey? Just one of the many reasons Chris Christie is not going to get the Republican nomination.) We cats PURR.
