We cats don't do well in crowds — we're too short — so in preparation for Monday's festivities, we're firing up the TV, fluffing up the couch pillows and chilling down the beer. In the meantime, these items from the news have caught our attention.
We cats always thought President Obama's first-term official portrait was a bit dippy, so we're happy he's posed for new one. But our favorite Inaugural photo is still this.
On the Republicans hamhandedness front, today we salute Mr. Appalachian Trail, who's had to apologize for calling himself "a wounded warrior." Goodness gracious, they just can't stop, can they? For a chickenhawk to describe himself the way Mark Sanford did is not only in stunningly bad taste, it's tone-deaf in the "rape-is-good-if-a-child-is-conceived" vein. But of course, Sanford was the lifetime winner of the Narcissism Prize until Lance Armstrong came along.
Speaking of Lance Armstrong, it now seems that when he went cycling with The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived, he was trying to steal that title, too.
We cats think it's funny that, looking for advice on besting Obama, the GOP is turning to the guy who lost his hometown to the 2012 Democratic ticket by 25 points.
Finally, to all those conspiracy nuts who think the Newtown shooting was a hoax to pass gun control, we cats say this: Sandy Hook, never happened? Doubtless, the parents of those 20 murdered children devoutly wish that were so.
