Tidbits And Cat Treats: Biden-Harris Inaugural Edition


By Miss Kubelik

"President Biden." Suddenly there is music in the sound of that name. And everything went so well today that we cats didn't even miss the crowds or the silly parade. We're also looking forward to "Celebrating America," the TV show that's going to be way more fun for those of us in the cheap seats than any Inaugural balls.

AND what a treat: On the eve of the big event, a fabulous rumor circulated, that Donald Trump is thinking of starting his own political party. Great! Please do it, Donald — you'll hasten the death of the GOP. It'll be the Whigs and the Know-Nothings redux, will dry up Republican grass-roots fundraising, and is sure to throw their 2024 primaries into further turmoil. (Betcha the My Pillow guy has been whispering in Trump's ear about this. Keep it up, guys!)

But enough about America's worst President. Let's move on to Biden-Harris, with joy and relief.

Today's best bits: Amanda Gorman, showing every writer on earth how it's done. Lady Gaga doing the same for would-be belters of song (and in a fabulous dress). Doug Emhoff rescuing Kamala's fallen earring on their walk to the OEOB. Kamala swearing in three new Democratic Senators (thank you, Georgia!). Q Anon getting very upset and confused. And Michelle Obama's queenly couture, taking our breath away.

Also swell: Biden's shout-out to Jimmy Carter. (Joe was the first Senator to endorse Carter in 1976.)

Most hilarious bits: Bernie Sanders, sitting like a cranky old man outside the fitting rooms at Loehmann's. Moose & Squirrel's cheap-curtains caftan (she really doesn't care, does she?). Ted Cruz trying to pretend he didn't try to disenfranchise 81 million Americans. Historian Michael Beschloss, unchained. And Hallie Jackson's tweet from 12:01 PM: "The pool of reporters traveling with now-former President Trump peels away from Mar-a-Lago. That’s it, folks." We cats PURR.
