Naw, spoiled is pretty much the natural state of a cat/human relationship. But maybe I’m just brainwashed by my two cats, Tweetypie and Damnitkitty. Their names are interchangeable. More precious than gold for sure.

No, my kitty’s transgression was enough to merit a mild swat but he is fine. Unless you count “spoiled” as an illness. That half-gallon of milk is a total loss though. They are really good pets and excellent companionship 99.9% of the time. I wouldn’t trade this one for all the gold in the world.

I hope that doesn’t imply that one of your cats is ill or has misbehaved so badly its betrayed your affection. It was probably just being a cat and cats treat us, their staff, thoughtlessly sometimes.

And no, it will not be held against me, I won’t allow it. I’m not that kind of blogger sir.
But your ‘welcome’ is appreciated.

Lottakatz, the welcome here comes to those who write well thought out stuff, share a certain wicked sense of humor, or who are like me one of the nicest guys on the internet and so are tolerated. And you all think I’m humble.

I agree with your pet peeve which is why I never use the term anti-semitic, Shoah instead of Holocaust, or if I can help it Palestinians. On the last I know I’ll get some argument from people I like and admire, but that is one of the great things about Professor Turley’s site. It works on the principles which he cherishes and fights for, to wit: The right and power of free discussion is preeminent and necessary to the maintenance of democracy and freedom.

To quote Apollo 8 mission commander Frank Borman, “We can see the Earth from here . . . ”

And it’s always a pretty picture. Well, it is for now anyway.

Although I must confess that at the moment, on of my own cats is in Trouble, it won’t be held against you.

A comment of yours clarifying the sloppy thinking and use of language regarding the use of ‘Jew” v. ‘Semite’ v. ‘Zionist’ as the determinant of a bigoted statement v. a valid political premise and comment was excellent. (That’s a pet peeve of mine.) I wanted to make a response to you on that issue but it had been covered so well any comment would have been redundant. Very impressive. All of the regular ladies and gents here teach me something new everyday.

I have great respect for Professor Turley and I’m very happy to have found his blog. It’s become one of my favorites at light-speed.

QED, Bob.

“BIL,
Nice picture. The face looks great but the color looks a little..irradiated? Green is the heart chakra, hey it’s growing on me already.”

So “BIL” is short for Buddha is Laughing.

Your acronym; not mine.

Righty-o

Thanks!

Yeah, that was a bit much. Looked like Buddha had wandering into a spray booth with a 53 Mercury.

I went back to the green, darkened it and whipped out the old airbrush and smudge tools to soften the forehead glare. I think that’s going to fix what was bugging me most.

dog bone,

Oh my! An intelligence estimate from a Neocon spam whore. I’m just devastated, er, no, giggling. That’s the word. Giggling.

Lottakatz,
Welcome aboard, enjoy the party.

Kellek,
I’m missing her too, but fear not she’ll be back, she gets ratings.

Dog bone,
bury yourself.

Actually, I don’t care about your pitiful spam. I’ve never heard of Randi Rhodes or her show. Until just now, I thought she was a he and he was Ozzy’s deceased guitarist. I just wanted to test if my avatar had updated.

Yes, the last 8 years, that is when it was conducted at all. I say ‘when it was conducted at all’ because ignoring your world neighbors and invading nations willy-nilly may be misconstrued to be diplomatic tactics in some Bizarro world but they hardly rise to the level of actual diplomacy.

Oops, don’t feed the Trolls, sorry, my bad.

Did I say that out loud?

What I meant to say was ‘Cats, they need some good, old-fashioned, courthouse cats.’
