Happy Presidents' Day, everyone. Today we've seen news items that have made us cranky, and news items that have made us pleased. Here are a few.
Every time we hear Republicans say that workers' benefits must be cut and unions have to be busted because "we're broke," we want to knock them upside the head.
Republicans are the ones who took a nearly $100 billion Clinton budget surplus and squandered it on tax cuts for the rich, two wars (one based on lies) and a Medicare prescription drug benefit that wasn't paid for. And today, Wisconsin's Governor — Republican, of course — is crying poor after having given his corporate pals $140 million in special-interest tax breaks and spending. We cats don't understand why any American voters are willing to put their state or national economies into Republican hands. Buyer's remorse, anyone?
Scott Walker, by the way, is so repugnant he's positively Vitterian. Were they separated at birth?
But back to Commanders in Chief. We cats have seen some grousing about tonight's Chris Matthews special on President Clinton. "A valentine," sniffs The Washington Post. You know what? Too freaking bad. We'd say that the media kind of owe Bill Clinton some favorable coverage for a change. And may he someday join our other Democratic Presidents — Carter, Obama and Gore — as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
Finally, speaking of the Nobels, it appears that war criminal Donald Rumsfeld thinks that President Obama's peace prize was undeserved. This is so hilarious that we cats don't know where to start. We'll just stick with the observation that real American patriots are happy when their President is so honored.
