Tidbits And Cat Treats: "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" Edition

By Baxter

We cats have spent the day moving snow around. And tomorrow we'll probably move some more. But despite the weather, we've been keeping our eye on the world of politics. Here are a few headlines that caught our attention.

Some TV talking heads were sniffing about Donald Trump's latest tacky outburst: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." Tasteless, yes — but just to anyone sane. With Trump supporters, it won't hurt him one bit.

Speaking of which, we were highly amused by The New York Times's coverage of Republicans in New Hampshire who are repelled by The Donald. He's offensive, juvenile and inexperienced, they say. We cats couldn't agree more — but one GOP voter's comment stood out. "He's very entertaining, but I don't want an entertainer for President." We cats are dying to ask that woman whom she voted for in 1980.

We're also pleased to see that the Des Moines Register endorsed Secretary Clinton in the Iowa Democratic caucuses. But on the Republican side, Baby Marco better prepare for some serious incoming from his fellow passengers in the clown car.

Meanwhile, we hear that Joe and Jill Biden, unable to fly back into DC from an overseas trip, are stuck in Miami. (That's "stuck" in Miami.) But as former longtime residents of South Florida, we cats just have to say that having been in several hurricanes and now Snowzilla, we'll take the snow, thank you. The white stuff can be a pain, but generally it makes us PURR.
