Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

As I often say, misery demands company.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I took my cat to work in a carrier (in a taxi) a month ago. She meowed once, in the elevator, and was quiet the whole rest of the day.

The most mellow cat I've ever seen....

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I think the last time my cat was ever quiet was when she was at the shelter. She was one of those cats whose personality definitely changed when she got away from the big cat room and was brought into a stable home.

Heh. I know people who went to shelters and picked out "the quietest cat" or "the quietest dog"....

Guess what they found out when they got home?

When America Executed Waterboarders For War Crimes

Paul Begala gets his facts straight:

After World War II, an international coalition convened to prosecute Japanese soldiers charged with torture. At the top of the list of techniques was water-based interrogation, known variously then as 'water cure,' 'water torture' and 'waterboarding,' according to the charging documents. It simulates drowning." Politifact went on to report, "A number of the Japanese soldiers convicted by American judges were hanged, while others received lengthy prison sentences or time in labor camps."

Now, waterboarders, according to John McCain's former spokesman, are American heroes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh dear. A facebook friend, who is a Capuchin Monk, just posted as his status that he likes to mow the lawn. Which of course made me think of those shaving ads.

So very, very wrong.

I dare you to post the link on his wall!

Some three-year-old asked, "Do cockroaches have a penis?" The result was this blog post with probably more info on cockroach reproduction than you want to know:

Science Question From a Toddler: Insect Sex

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Not clicking on Tommy's link about insect sex.....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I don't see smoke anymore at Marina City, but now there's a helicopter overhead and a ton of ambulances, fire trucks, and cop cars near the Hotel Sax.

So that's why there were so many emergency vehicles racing about as I was trying to get to the Goodman.

Cats aren't big on the suffering in silence thing, are they?

Mine only get vocal after we've been in the car for a while, and it's the one who doesn't even have a voice that complains the most. When I'm carrying the carrier they are silent and saucer eyed.

I dare you to post the link on his wall!

Ha! The thought crossed my mind

Worst. Day. Ever.:

COLORADO SPRINGS - Talk about a bad day. A pregnant woman not only was chased down by a brown bear, but got hit by a car in her attempt to get away.

Mother and baby are both fine, and the baby's middle name will be Bear.
