Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Giving up is unforgivable.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Come on, man.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

When we show up, we win.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Cat Rescue Bleg – Peekskill, NY Area

From commentor Tony S:

I have a cat situation I need to deal with… a beautiful Tiger Tomcat has taken up residence on our front porch.
__
We’d love to take him in, but we have four dogs. One tolerate cats, one sees them as potential appetizers, one loves to stand and woof at them for hours once he’s treed them, and one sees them as a great opportunity to do some sprint runs.
__
Here are some images of the feline we’re calling “Tiger Tom.”
__
We know the animal control officer and will be calling him, but we’d rather not send the kitty to prison or death simply because he’s squatting on our porch.

If anybody in the Peekskill can help ‘Tiger Tom’, please email me at [email protected] (or click on my name near the top of the right-hand column), and I can forward contact information between you and Tony.

    He’s very handsome. Can you ship him to London? ;)

    Trap and neuter him, then let him live out there.

    Oh, SUCH a pretty kitty. That kitty needs a lap. Wish the hubster weren’t deathly allergic to cats. I love that kitty’s face.

    Beautiful young cat. Think of this as a great opportunity to teach three of your four dogs some manners.

    He’s a fine looking cat. Unfortunately, I live in Texas. [Insert Perry Joke Here] I also have four cats in my household which is at least two too many given the crackerjack box that I live in. There seems to be a sign over my house, visible only to cats, that says “Sucker lives here.” They just show up.

    Maybe wyou could let him live outside your house. Get a really nice doghouse, put a big soft bed in it and put it o yur porch. He’ll be all nice and warm that way this winter. I have a friend who cares for a colony of thirteen cats who live in a wall of crates on the south side of a shed. None of them are her cats, but, with the help of local charity, she gothtem all spayed and neutered. They always have water available and get fed twice a day. She sits out int he morning and drinks her coffe with them.

    OMG, he’s just a baby.

    Peekskill is a few hours from me; if he needs to be distributed in upstate NY, let me know!

    We’ll have us a convoy…

    @WereBear: I’ve volunteered to do cat driving before, and if you get him as close as Madison, I’d be happy to do a shift from there.

    OT: Don Kelly (?!?) and Delmon Young go deep. Tigers up 2-0.

    FTFY

    Edit: Kelly is playing instead of Betemit? Gotta say, Leyland was ballsy on that call, and is luckier than he deserves, frankly. Don Kelly just isn’t a major league quality hitter.

    It’s a beautiful cat and hopefully he finds a home. Don’t worry about the dog that treed a cat. Miss Moxie still does that with strays although she shares the house with a cat.

    You might want to try Little Orphan Animals in Peekskill, a no kill shelter.

    Unfortunately my current rescue cat does not play well with others. I am only an hour away, though, and would happily help in transport.

    Oh, he is a lovely cat. Very young, I’m guessing. His body hasn’t quite caught up with his head yet. I would take him in a heartbeat if I didn’t live in Atlanta and have vowed no more animals until I retire in 2013. I travel too much to be fair to them.

    Dangit! He’s too young to fly without an escort, or I’d send a one-way ticket from Newark to John Wayne.

    Speaking of rescue, did you know that in addition to dog and cat rescues, there are bee rescue organizations? I certainly didn’t, but I do now, and Backyard Bees (www.backyardbees.net) is coming to our house tomorrow to relocate a colony from our front hedge (next door neighbor has started complaining) to a commercial box hive in the backyard.

    We pay a fee that is a fraction of the cost of the service, and they show up occasionally to harvest honey which they sell to Whole Foods in order to cover their expenses (we get some for free). More importantly, we get to keep the bees that pollinate our tomatoes and other stuff.

    I like win-win solutions. I guess that means I’ll never be a very good Republican :-/

    I’ll take him if the caretaker can ship him (to Texas…sent an email). He’d need to be somewhat submissive, though…my gargantuan alpha tolerates little dissent except around food.

    how far are you from the border? Can I smuggle him into Canada, do you suppose?

    @burnspbesq: Bee rescue, so cool. And free honey, even cooler. Love bees, which lately in our neighborhood are getting pretty rare. Sad that, with all the gardens cropping up in the neighborhood.

    What a pretty boy. I would gladly donate funds to help transport him if somebody distant wants to take him in.

    @PIGL:

    how far are you from the border? Can I smuggle him into Canada, do you suppose?

    Peekskill to Champlain, NY, just south of the border, is an easy 5 hour drive. It’s straight up 87, the thruway.

    It’s just under two hours from Peekskill to Catskill, NY. I am an hour from there. Will happily meet and drive North. Perhaps Glens Falls? Then someone does another 2 hours to the border.

    That way eveyone does 4-5 hours driving.

    Seriously. I’m on deadlines for work. But so what? Save a kitty! Just say the word.

    Since it’s going to traumatize cat anyway, possibly useful to start journey with cat sleeping off anesthesia from being neutered. (We’ll all chip in for same.) Not a big operation for a male cat. And at least it would give some quiet for a while.

    Plus a rabies vacine shot could be administered, which will be needed for Canadian entry, and a vet certificate accompany.

    Pets are allowed into Canada meeting those requirements.

    I just wanted to thank everybody for their kind words. I will keep you updated on what happens with Tiger Tom. He’s still spending time on the porch, and still looking adorable.
