Today, the world may have moved from panic over the coronavirus to outrage over the stupid things people are doing. Here are a few news stories that we think really stand out.
Faithful readers may be aware that we cats are no fans of the Olympics, which have long been hijacked by hate (1936), murder (1972) and farce (1994). Athletes have been punished (1968) and ridiculously glorified (1976, 1984). And Avery Brundage — ugh. Now the stupidity continues, with hundreds of morons and fools showing up for the "torch relay" in Japan — putting themselves and others at risk during a pandemic. Can we just cancel already?
Are we all agreed that no paper except Charmin, et. al., can be flushed? If this frustrates you, we suggest you try a litter box instead — and scoop your business into a Litter Genie or the trash. Works for us.
Then there's that jackass county commissioner in Kansas who says his state won't have a coronavirus problem because they don't have a lot of Chinese people. JFC.
Nothing, however — except maybe everything Benedict Donald does, every minute of the day — compares with the stupidity of Senators who sold stock after secret intelligence briefings on the pandemic. It looks like North Carolina Senator Richard Burr's name is getting attached to the scandal, but it also has engulfed Loeffler of Georgia, Johnson of Wisconsin, Inhofe of Oklahoma, and, sadly, Feinstein of California. (Unlike the Republicans, we Democrats never claim to be perfect.)
Finally, remember when yesterday's White House presser seemed like the total pits and that things couldn't get any worse? Good times. If you can't take any more of Benedict Donald's coronavirus craziness, try sending some money to your favorite Democrat. (For us, Joe Biden and Tedra Cobb come to mind.) You'll feel better. We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
