Speedy
Delivery!
 This
past weekend held its share of suprises, the
first of which was the unexpected appearance
of a litter of newborn
kittens in the back seat of my car Friday
morning.
I routinely leave the windows down in my Mustang
(whose restoration is coming along well, thank
you) during
these warmer days. I knew the little neighborhood
stray cat was pregnant but I never imagined
that
she'd set up headquarters amidst the odd loose
screws and pocket of old leaves just behind
the driver seat.
I should mention at this point that I often
trap local stray cats and have them neutered
and released. The vets clip the tip of one
ear
during surgery which lets Animal Control
know
they're not breeders and so leave them alone
afterwards.
It's a good system and I hope they employ
it where you live, too.
I tried on several occasions to catch what
I
assumed
was a young male cat and even managed one successful
capture in my Havahart cage but, as I watched
incredulously, she managed to
squirm out of the
cage in the blink of an eye. From then
on she'd never go near the trap again, no
matter how tasty the bait.
Mmmmm, fish squeezin's.
Right now the plan is to somehow shift the
kittens to a little used storage shed as soon
as mom will allow, which is going to be tricky
as she makes it perfectly clear that she hates
my guts and wishes violence upon me with all
due haste. I'll keep you posted.

On the political front, you can already pencil-in
Mr. Obama as commander-in-chief in 2012. Why?
Because Republicans know they can make a ton
of money scaring
the vast population of nincompoops who recoil
at
the spectre of a black man in the White House.
Racism can make you rich, and conservatives
have no ethics or shame when it comes to making
a quick buck. As long as a minority of
Conservatives can gridlock the Congress, making
it impossible to kill the Bush tax cuts or
raise taxes on the rich, then all the better.

 February
10, 2011: "We're going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs." -
John Boehner.
So far the list of GOP accomplishments for 2011 is:
(1) Attempted curtailing of abortion rights.
(2) Attempted defunding of Planned Parenthood.
(3) Attempted defunding of NPR.
(4) Investigating Muslims.
(5) Declaring English as America's Official Language.
(6) Reaffirming "In God We Trust".
(7) Challenging AARP's tax-exempt status.
(8) Approved defunct funding for failed
religious schools.
(9) Attempt to destroy Medicaid.
(10) Attempt to destroy Planned Parenthood
(11) Shutting down the government
(12) Attempt to destroy the EPA.
(13) Attempting to eliminate financial
counseling.
(14) Passed a House budget that gives $4 trillion in tax cuts to the
rich.
(15) Spend $500,000 to discriminate against gays.
(16) Continued
toadying for the rich.
(17) Pretending the deficit is to blame for slow
job growth.
Nope. No job creation here. Move along. Move along.
I'll keep adding to this list until the Republican House does something
to create jobs. I unhappily predict this is gonna be one lonnnnng list.
