We cats are not sure if the newspaper that got the Iowa polls wrong is going to get anywhere with its call for the caucus results to be audited. ("Smell"? What smell?) But if you're feeling nostalgic about Democratic politics in the Hawkeye State, you may want to check out this terrific short video that Nate Silver's put out. We were big fans of Howard Dean in 2004, so it was one of those things that wasn't funny at the time. But the video made us Cheshire-cat grin.
Meanwhile, the other headlines we're seeing today should go over well at Hillary Clinton headquarters. Gee — Republican Secretaries of State got classified stuff in email! And Chris Christie is refusing to release his Bridgegate-related messages! (Do recall that Secretary Clinton has turned over thousands and thousands of pages of hers.) And just to remind Americans how bad their lives can be under Republican rule, it appears that Rick Snyder in Michigan learned that Flint's bad drinking water raised the risk of Legionnaires' disease — and, of course, didn't say a word!
(Paul LePage wants to bring back the guillotine. Should Rick Snyder's be the first head it takes? Just sayin'.)
But nothing struck us quite so much as the news that the Koch brothers would be willing to bench themselves for a Trump-Clinton match-up in the fall. First, they loathe The Donald. But more important, there's this little nugget: "There is absolutely no love between the Clintons and the Kochs, whose company experienced one of the most traumatic periods in its history as it fought off regulators during Bill Clinton's Presidency."
We cats sure hope that all those young voters who are angry about the corporate takeover of America — and who are flocking to Bernie Sanders as a result — will take note that when they were still in grade school, people named Clinton were making the lives of Charles and David Koch miserable. That's important news for them, and it makes us PURR.
