Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Everybody saw this coming.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

If you’re looking for someone who’s young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Let me file that under fuck it.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Come on, man.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Let’s finish the job.

This fight is for everything.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

From commentor Erin B:

I’m hoping to get some assistance rehoming my mother’s two cats. Her health has taken a rather abrupt turn for the worse and she can no longer care for them. Their names are Pumpkin and Cleo, and both are elderly (12ish) and diabetic, requiring regular insulin shots. Pumpkin is a handsome orange fellow with a long face that looks like Art Noveau, and Cleo is a petite calico.

They are wonderful animals; Cleo is sweet, although not too social with other animals, and Pumpkin is the original nice guy.

They’re in Seattle, but I imagine we could get them anywhere from there down the Pacific coast to the Bay Area. I’m really hoping to get them settled while I’m in town next week, so Mom can know they’re getting the love they deserve and the care they need.

If you are interested, or have any leads, send me an email at AnneLaurie (at) verizon.net (click on my name in the right-hand column) and I’ll put you in touch with Erin B.

    @redshirt: Gee, I can understand why you’re a little jumpy, but as long as you’re not being beamed down to The Planet of Fucking Huge Moggies, you’re gonna be OK, dude.

    Beautiful kitties! So sorry for your mom that she has to give them up.

    Sending warm wishes to all of you.

    @PeakVT: There are better, and more humane ways, than eradication:

    In contrast to the problems in San Francisco, Virginia and Louisiana, ferals in Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, US, were trapped, neutered and released and provided with litterboxes and shelters. At the same time, efforts were made to preserve or increase bird habitats in the gardens. Despite the presence of the cats, the bird population, including ground-nesting species, has increased. The cats themselves are an added attraction with visitors. WHY FERAL ERADICATION WON’T WORK

    We must ask ourselves, why is this only a problem now? In times past, very few people kept their cats inside, and no one tried to care for ferals. Trap/neuter/release WORKS. Encouraging people to keep their cats inside, as I do on my cat blog, works.

    This is as stupid as “breed bans,” which only kill dogs and do not eliminate the threat of stupid and cruel people.

    We had a diabetic cat. The insulin shots were easy peasy, and painless for her. She got treats afterward, and it became a morning ritual. Don’t let this keep you from adopting these cute kitties.

    I know cats are beautiful and cute and awesome, but when I saw the recent study showing the damage cats do to wildlife, I was aghast. As we should all be – unless we think it’s cool to exterminate other species for the sakes of our cats.

    Those two are pretty. Hope they find homes.

    AL: I’ll send you the information in an email but the livecam of kittens I’ve been plugging is for a no-kill shelter in the Seattle area. It’s name is Purrfect Pals and they believe that all cats should be taken care of. Even if they don’t find a forever home, they will take care of the cats.

    No time or place like the present to plug the livecam again:

    The kittens are due back to the foster home from their first vet visit momentarily.

    @MrSnrub:

    Giving cats shots is so easy that I had vet give me hypos instead of pills many times. The cats really could care less about a well placed shot, where any pilling is a traumatizing battle.

    And remember, many here would happily donate for a plane ride or other kitty transport anywhere, so don’t let distance stop you if your heart hears these sweet kitties’ songs.

    I’ve been owned by two diabetic cats, one of whom we adopted under similar circumstances to these beauties. The more intelligent of the two put together cause (Mom pinches my neck) and effect (I feel better) and started keeping me to a strict schedule for the first time in his life. It’s one of the easiest bits of sick cat care I’ve ever done.

    They are both gorgeous babies! I was the enabler of a rather cranky diabetic old man, and we wrestled with his blood tests and his daily insulin shots with crazed glee. He enjoyed hiding from me and I enjoyed the peace after I caught and shot (insulin) him.

    Diabetes is not difficult to manage.

    I hope they find blissful home(s).
