A Different Question For Debate Night


By Hubie and Bertie

We cats are dipping in and out of the Vice Presidential debate because, gosh, we hate to see a grown man cry. Speaking of crying, has Mike "Poonce" started already? If so, did he read today's polls? Or does he have — gasp! — pink eye? Check out the left one. Did you know that pink eye can be an early symptom of COVID?

Senator Harris, please keep your distance.

Meanwhile, let's talk about something completely off-topic. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania will not run for re-election to the Senate in two years. Sounds like a mundane, Inside-the-Beltway story, but there may be more to it than meets the eye (or the pink eye).

The timing is odd. Toomey has not only taken himself out just as Moscow Mitch McConnell's current majority is teetering on the brink, but he also took himself out of the 2022 Governor's race against the incumbent Democrat, Tom Wolfe. Obviously he was going to face a QAnon primary challenge in either race. But why announce this now? Why not be a good Republican and wait until after November 3?

Maybe he took himself out because he has a surprise coming — an electoral, career-killing surprise.

Is it an endorsement of Joe Biden? A change of heart on the Barrett nomination? And if it's the former, is he hoping President Biden appoints him Ambassador to Ireland? We cats wonder, and we PURR.
