Silver Linings


By Miss Kubelik

The news from Ukraine is universally upsetting. To distract ourselves, we cats decided to focus on stories that have been shelved thanks to the Putin invasion. Here's what we came up with.

The Baseball Lockout — This would have mattered in another universe. But even though we cats love baseball and used to go to spring training games in Florida, we have to say: WHO CARES?

CPAC — Goodness gracious, you'd think that Putin would have checked with Ronna Romney and the other Republican cretins about whether an invasion of Ukraine would push them into obscurity. Guess he didn't, and the right-wing jackasses are simply shouting into the wind. Too bad.

Pennsylvania and North Carolina Maps — The courts have accepted House maps for more than 30 Congressional districts favorable to Democrats. Totally unnoticed in a week of political upheaval and hand-wringing, folks, but worth celebrating.

Excellent Legal Decisions — Yes, two prosecutors resigned from the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation of Benedict Donald this week. But we don't know yet what happened there. And there were some really good legal decisions that came down at the same time: Canadian insurrectionist Tamara Lich was denied bail. (Will white supremacist Pat King be close behind her? Film at eleven.) The three assholes who murdered Ahmaud Arbery were convicted of federal hate crimes. And the other officers involved in the George Floyd murder were found guilty. Things could be worse. We cats PURR.
