Two Hours Of Kicking Ass


By Miss Kubelik

When we cats were kittens, we heard then-Senator Joe Biden speak on our college campus. He was then-young, too. But we saw the same guy at today's Presidential press conference.

Back then, he held the rapt attention of a large auditorium's worth of students, simply by answering questions and being informative and fascinating. We weren't quite as combative with him then as the press was today, but this afternoon was basically the same experience. In nearly two hours in the East Room, Biden was thorough, patient, frank, and explanatory. He called out the Republicans ("What are they for?"). And he made us Cheshire-cat grin way more than once. (By the way, James Rosen from Newsmax needs to lose his press credentials. Dude was obviously so busy thinking of the stupid question he was going to ask that he forgot to read the room.)

The presser reminded us that for all its successes (there are many) and frustrations (also many, but in governing a democracy, there always are), the first year of Team Biden has been pretty good. At the very least, we've spent every day since January 20, 2021 profoundly grateful that Benedict Donald — who lost a big fight in the Supreme Court today — is out of the White House. We cats PURR.
