    While you are thinking Happy Puppy Thoughts, the Way of Cats fund drive is happening NOW.

    Let’s keep the Way of Cats blog Blooming

    Since the Republicans pulled the Debt Ceiling debacle, my cat toy and instruction book revenues has fallen off a cliff. Talk about ruining the economy. I can’t keep up with the bandwidth etc without a bit of help.

    Lend a paw? Even the price of a latte would thrill me!

    What was the name of that young woman way back in the mists of history who was the first up with a live cam in her home? Christ, how long ago was that? Revolutionary at the time.

    They’re outside playing right now.

    Now it’s chow time. With Mama standing closely by.

    Oh and PUPPEH!!

    PS: All six of these little guys will grow up to be service dogs!

    Japan beats Spain and the UAE is carving up Uruguay and serving them well done so far. It is looking like a bad day for the Spanish speaking world.

    To my uneducated eyes, this UAE team looks fast.

    Edit: And so Uruguay promptly ties it up.

    @Litlebritdifrnt: The latter part is sort of Basic.Human which is why it escapes the RomBot. You do seem do have a solid talent for the former though, along with deft language skills. I’m dying for the Now Show already, which should be an epic battle of the three tendencies.

    My Lab gets jealous when I look at other dogs. Also, I’m having too much fun savoring the schadenfreude surrounding Mitt’s London visit. The latest is that he’s having trouble selling tickets to his fundraiser and has had to slash the ticket price in half http://order-order.com/2012/07/26/exclusive-romney-struggling-to-fill-tonights-fundraiser-prices-slashed/

    I’m happy to say the British are abandoning their Oakshottian Burkean civility in savaging this assclown.

    Thanks. Very cute. Awwww, the puppy wagged its tail and rolled over.

    Really cute.

    But a vid or napping puppies is not dynamic enough to get a horde of viewers. I will click the link a few times today, though.

    @Litlebritdifrnt:

    I looked at the invite on the Guy Fawkes blog. Is that really Romney’s logo because it’s very unattractive. With all that money he’s getting, one would think he could have paid for a better graphic.

    Litlebritdifrnt

    LOL some of the comments at the Guardian Live Blog are priceless

    Blimey, that went well… Good to find out early that Romney is even a bigger ass than Dubya Bush. Come on Obama!

    Regardles…Romney’s concept of diplomacy is jaw-dropping. I’m gobsmacked.Dubya wasn’t this bad, was he?

    That puppy cam did not want me to leave. I hit the back button about 6 times before I was able to escape back to here.

    Cute puppehs.

    @Litlebritdifrnt: What gets me about the gaffe that started it all (“Those Olympics of yours: gonna be a disaster”) is how utterly avoidable it would be to anyone with even a modicum of understanding of human interaction. How hard is it to show up as a guest somewhere and say something nice about your host’s big new project?

    The wingnuts are trying to change the subject by pushing another criminally edited video taking Obama completely out of context.

  34. 34.

    Litlebritdifrnt

    @dmsilev:

    Exactly. You don’t go to a dinner party and tell the hostess that her beautifully laid out dining table looks like crap and you expect the dinner to be a disaster. I mean apart from anything else it is just bad manners. Like someone said elsewhere the man has no filter because he has surrounded himself with yes men toadies all his life who will always laugh at his jokes and tell him he’s right.

    @Litlebritdifrnt:

    re Brits not lining up for Romney fundraiser:

    Is it possible they have stricter and more immediate disclosure requirements in Britain?

    Also, talk about a perp walk for LIBOR.

    @Hill Dweller: Won’t work. Mitt is comedy gold. I’ll be off the old Python and Onion videos for the duration of the trip.

    Good comedy is hard, and nothing can beat it. The wingers can try all they want, no one will even notice.

    Keep it up, Mitt.

    Edit: as I said in earlier thread, seems like Wonkette gave up and is just posting verbatim reports.

    I just had a robocall from Wayne LaPierre, which started with a long screed of propaganda, and ended with a poll:

    “Do you think it’s okay for the UN to take away our gun rights?”

    Yes or no question. I chose YES, since “this is not a factual argument” was not one of the choices. Up with black heliocopters (sic) !!! Then I told the robot to fuck itself, but it hung up on me.

    I was especially annoyed as I am awaiting a call from someone about fostering their dog, and I got excited when the phone rang. feh

    @Litlebritdifrnt: Even, or especially, if the hostess’s dinning table looks like crap you don’t say so.

    I guess we can be grateful that Romney didn’t vomit in the lap of some Minister or another. That’s something.

    A thought: I wonder if Obama will apologize to Britain for Romney’s behavior…

    @Elizabelle: I think as this is a campaign do, these are ‘sposed to be ‘mercans spontaneously (with no hinting from the banking/hedgie bosses, uh uh, no how, nada, none, Barclay’s officially denied it) showing up and donating out of the goodness of their very widdle hearts.

    @Litlebritdifrnt: That makes one of us. I thought all I was doing was saying that Uruguay looks much sharper in the second half than they did while the UAE was carving them up in the first.

    Sometimes a soccer comment is just a soccer comment.

    Litlebritdifrnt

    @J. Michael Neal:

    Sorry! You are correct of course, sometimes a comment is just a comment, but I am still chuckling about Ricky Gervais getting Gary Linnaker(sp) to use some of the best “cliches” on air with the promise of a large donation to Great Ormond Street Hospital. It was brilliant.

    mingo

    @Hill Dweller:
    I saw that. I’m thinking from now on Obama should start every speech with a jocular request to the audience to enter a contest (maybe on Twitter), to predict which talking points are going to be carved up, misrepresented, then skreed over. It could be fun.

    Ha! My sister’s Pomeranian barks at the computer when she sees other dogs on the monitor. Also if you try to take her picture. She’s a bit of a princess.

    I have actually wondered if our ambassadors will send out quiet questions as to whether an apology is desired.

    What rock have you been under the last 5 years. There are hundreds of puppy cams and yes, several are golden retrievers.

    Talk about reaching for something to write about. How about writing about these global food riots that Cole says are nearly upon us. Go hang out at the local 7/11 (assuming you don’t already do that) and give us the man on the street story of how the food riots are going down.

    Well, I went to see the puppies online but some doofus pulled out two lawn chairs and set them in front of the camera, so all you could see was her fat ass and the backs of two chairs.

    @foodriots: I see you are reading Mitt’s book on how to make friends and influence people. It’s working like a charm.

    There’s something about “foodriots” that screams Derf, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

    @Jay in Oregon: Yes, that’s the one. I recalled that myself, over lunch, after posting the question. The Wiki article is pretty good, although somewhat ambiguous about how “first” she was. In 1996 it was pretty revolutionary, though. Apparently it resulted in several academic articles as well. For instance, I bet you didn’t know that “JenniCAM reveals cultural tensions surrounding epistemological conceptions of vision, gender, and identity and raises questions for future conversations regarding the role of technology in the representation and
    construction of gendered subjects.”
