Tidbits And Cat Treats: Biden G7 Edition


By Hubie and Bertie

Well, thanks to Trumpian perfidy at the Justice Department, we really had to hunt for G7 coverage on the mainstream-media interweb sites today. But that's okay, we found it. At a later time, we might even have a few opinions to share on Jeff Sessions, William Barr and their merry band of traitors over at DOJ — but for now, our hearts are in Cornwall. Here are our thoughts.

Goodness gracious, but Queen Elizabeth is amazing. She's 95, has spent most of her life — or at least 70 years of it — standing and talking to people, and she still doesn't use a cane or a walker. We've decided that she has nine lives and is a cat. (That probably doesn't make the Prince of Wales very happy.)

You can't see it in this picture, but Jill Biden needed to buckle the second belt on her fetching Gabriela Hearst trench coat. But we're still in awe over her mastery of diplomacy in high heels. (Yes, Moose & Squirrel wore stilettos, but she never practiced diplomacy.)

Seen on Twitter today: "Overheard in the White House press pool: Why is Justin Trudeau's hair so long?" This sent us through the roof. Where has this person been for the last 15 months? And if this person is that stupid, why is he or she in the press pool? By the way, if Justin feels like cutting his hair when salons open again in the True North, fine — but we hope he keeps the beard.

Many, many comparisons online these last few days between the Bidens at the G7 and the Trumps at just about anything else. Upshot: It's important that our leaders represent us with class and grace abroad. And with uncrossed arms, and tuxedos that fit them. Just sayin'.

Finally, back to the Queen. Wow! As the leaders assembled for their summer camp photo, she made a racy joke! "Are you supposed to look as if you're enjoying it?" This is exactly the sort of comment we'd associate with her late husband Prince Philip, and we have to think it was on purpose. We cats PURR.
