The trouble with a kitten is THAT Eventually it becomes a CAT. - Ogden Nash

The kitten is no longer afraid of me and in fact cannot keep off of me.  On my lap, biting my feet, crawling over my shoulders and wanting to eat dinner with me – not eating her Fancy Feast in tandem with me eating my rice and pork chop but actually eating  off my plate.  She got the nerve to venture outside Monday, then didn’t come back which freaked me out but now she doesn’t seem interested in going out again.  She is not afraid of the Cooper dog; she wants to play with him which is not on his to do list. Beatrice, who does want to play with her, she is terrified of.  The kitten has no name so I am open to suggestions.

Today's Post Cribbed from Rising Hegemon

The motherfucking windy-fucking-fucking-city!

It appears that we are about to hear Rahm Emanuel is about to announce his departure as White House Chief of Smack. I guess he's leaving so he can spend more time cursing out his family.

Chuck Toddler has his diapers in a bunch over Colbert's testimony as today's faux indignation orgy continue

I don't know who could be worse, but expect Obama will find someone:

Summers Said to Be Expected to Leave White House After Election

McCain: We shouldn't decide on DADT until we consider the opinion of the troops

Should we then ask their opinion on where and if to go to war?
And while I'm at it, has anyone checked Harry Reid for a pulse lately?

Trip to Bolan Lake

One truck.  Six adults, three dogs, one paddle boat, picnic basket, ice chest and assorted backpacks. Through No Monument Alley, past the Weeping Spruces and up the OMG road.  Everyone took a turn with the paddle boat but only Casey and Felice actually went swimming.  A great afternoon.

Sunday Morning Suckfest

Candy Crowley question re the economy includes the phrase “especially now that the country is worried about the deficit.”  Listen Candy – the country is NOT worried about the deficit.  That is a Republican/Tea Party meme which the media has run with because it is simplistic and because they are tools.  That includes you dumb ass.
