Tidbits And Cat Treats: Shucks, Folks, We're Speakerless

By Baxter

We cats returned from our travels thinking that surely the nation would have a Speaker of the House by now. Au contraire! It truly is appalling that the Republicans have allowed one-half of Congress to become a new edition of the Keystone Kops. Have we mentioned how effective Nancy Pelosi was?

Meanwhile, tomorrow night is the Democrats' big debate. Here's what we hope to see: "Wolf Blitzer" or some other lamebrain CNN moderator trying to get Clinton, Sanders, et. al. to say negative stuff about Barack Obama (you know, like about Syria, or the ACA or gun control, just to goose up the ratings) — and every one of the candidates responding with something like, "Sorry, Wolf, we hear enough from the Republicans and the teabags about how absolutely horrible Obama is supposed to be, coupled with complete and total amnesia about the disaster that was Bush/Cheney. Not playing your game, thanks very much."

And gosh! As if Jeb! Bush needs another thing to go wrong, ya know? It turns that in addition to his measly 7 percent in Iowa, his top campaign guy in the Hawkeye State has just been diagnosed with an incredibly aggressive form of leukemia. Not much chance he'll be rounding up folks on caucus day, we think.

Finally, to all those yahoos who keep trying to insist that the Confederate battle flag is not racist, we offer this. We cats say, it's not heritage, it's hate. And we HISS.
