Happy Happy Joy Joy

By Zamboni

We cats are not angry. Which makes us different from the rest of America — or at least, from the teabaggers, who are furious and oh, by the way, we know why.

There could be no more compelling argument for the teabaggers-as-racists theory than a quick review of the headlines today. While the world is nowhere near perfect and never will be, we cats see several reasons for rational people to be pleased.

We just nailed a couple of major Al Qaeda bad guys in Iraq — just the kind of thing that the right-wingers used to crow about when they were in charge. (Quick reminder: There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until George W. Bush needlessly invaded the country in 2003.)

The rest of the world likes us again.

GM's paying back $4.7 billion to American taxpayers ahead of schedule.

And that's just to mention a few. For more post-January-2009 developments to feel good about, click here.
