Friday Cat Blogging With Photoshop

From Album 5

Yes, there are much more important things today, but I'll raise a glass to Patrick Macnee...RIP.

Have a good weekend.

Doctor Roberts

From Album 5

So, the wingers are in full whinge mode...good...though it's more cause for relief than out and out celebration. Wow: Six justices, including the chief and Kennedy, managed to keep SCOTUS from forever being a abject wingnut political tool on one issue. Better than nothing, but...I'm guessing it'll take oh, a decade or so, you can bet if the health care law continues to work acceptably, they'll eventually claim it was their idea to begin with. And, in a sense, it was. Hell, I even remember DINO John Breaux talking about a health insurance mandate sometime in the early 2000s. But right now the very fact that what they pined for, more than anything else, was a way to make millions of people hurt for nothing more than a typo, a technicality, tells you everything you need to know about modern wingnut Republicanism. Hate and hurt is all they've got.

Two More On Board The Clown Car

Sorry, no links, just had power restored after an outage...anyway, Gilligan announced today, and Skipper's apparently going to next week...how low can they set the bar?

But Of Course...

From Album3

Yes, a deranged clod comes to the defense of the symbol of treason in defense of slavery...and to repeat, I'm under no illusions as to why some are writing it off, but any step here is better than no step...

Better Late Than Never...

From Album 5

...but still long overdue. Besides not being the actual Confederate Flag -- which itself is not at all any heritage worth taking pride in -- my understanding is that the battle standard was pretty much ignored until the 1950s, when a number of Southern States adopted it as a symbol in opposition to integration. Time to get over it...and time to get over the opposition to integration, which continues to have negative consequences for us all.
