Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

People are weird.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

From commentor Caterina:

Our 50+ cat colony in the Brooklyn Navy Yard mostly survived the storm, but many of their feeding stations were destroyed, and we lost a fair amount of stored food. We are afraid some of the missing cats were poisoned by toxic spills, but we are hopeful they will reappear soon. It’s been a tough year for the colony — we’ve trapped, neutered and returned at least 15 kittens produced by intact cats that slipped into the population. Due to raccoon activity we can only feed a day’s worth of food at a time — that means visiting each of the 8 feeding stations every day.

One of our primary caretakers is out of commission because her family lost their home in Staten Island to flooding. Another rescuer in Staten Island who helps us with holding and post-surgery recovery has extensive damage and has evacuated. For the last three years we’ve purchased all the food and supplies for the colony ourselves, with occasional donations from friends. We’re asking for donations now to replace our feeders, restock food, build some new feeding platforms and shelters and to set up a nonprofit (Waterfront Cats) so that we can solicit corporate donations and grants in the future.

We’re inviting NYC cat lovers to join us this Saturday at the Navy Yard for a post-Sandy clean up. Wear warm sturdy clothes and work boots or waders. We can provide transportation by car for a few volunteers each from Manhattan, Brooklyn and possibly Queens.

E-mail Suprina at Suprina11 (at) verizon.net or Caterina at cisobe (at) bsls.org

I’ve got a snail-mail address for Suprina, and I’ve asked Caterina for a PayPal address for donations. Will re-post with further information tomorrow, but I wanted to give anyone in the area a chance to plan for Saturday…

    Caterina:

    As I’ve said before, there’s a special place somewhere, if nowhere other than my heart, for people who help feral kittehs.

    Thanks.

    Feel so sorry for the the cats and kittens. People knew the storm would be over in a day, the cats must have thought it was the wrath from hell.

    Bless your hearts. I will contribute (only a tiny bit, I’m afraid) once a PayPal address is available. Poor little kitties.

    @ADS: I’m sorry to hear about the missing cats. Don’t give up hope- we’ve had cats go missing for as long as a year and then mysteriously turn up none the worse for wear.

    I too will contribute once a PayPal address is available, but you also might want to contact Alley Cat Allies. They work with feral colonies and trap/neuter/release programs and may be able to help.

    @PJ: We save scraps to feed the raccoons and give them dry cat food at times. They prevent us from using dry food dispensers because they not only eat all the food immediately, but they also chew up the dispensers! Since they are more omnivorous than cats, raccoons have many more food sources- they don’t need a diet as high in protein.

    Anne – when you get a PayPal address, will you repost it on the front page? I would be happy to contribute from North Carolina, but would appreciate seeing the reminder on the front page. Thanks!

    Yes, I’m planning on front-paging this tomorrow with the PayPal address, thanks!

    I don’t have money but I can send cat food, if that helps. However, it will take a few days to arrive.
