Exhausted by a long morning spent waiting for breakfast, Field Marshal Turkish von Turkenstein (commander, 1st Feline Home Defense Regiment) commandeers a sunny spot for purposes of R&R.
The cats are getting the old one-two this weekend.
Miss Mia Sopaipilla recovers from a nasty bout of Delayed Meal Syndrome atop the bedroom dresser.
First, Herself has flown off to Florida to visit her mom and eldest sis, which means that reveille and mess call have been bumped from 4 a.m. to a more reasonable hour dictated by the whims of the interim quartermaster, a renowned wastrel, sluggard, and layabout.
Second, Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. tomorrow, which means an additional hour of kip time for staff and more grumbling in the chow line for the cats.
“Unconstitutional! Due process! Coup!” they yowl, baring their fangs, spreading their claws, and hissing like the Devil’s teakettle on full boil.
No, wait, that’s the House Republicans. Another bunch of neutered housecats entirely.

I would welcome spending time with the splendid Mia and Turk any time. And, certainly over most public figures and some people I encounter in my life.

They’re a lot easier to be around than many a human, Libby, if only because they tend to nap a lot. If humans spent more time napping they’d have less time for mischief.

If Mia and Turk were like house republicans, they would have burned down the joint by now.

These two are too subtle for the GOP. Their idea of an attitude adjustment usually involves leaving a hairball somewhere a two-legger can step on it. Barefoot, if possible.

So the Rethugs have given up trying to claim there was no quid pro quo and now it’s “OK, there was, but it’s no big deal”? With the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief able to get elected despite all the previous scandal, I wonder why they didn’t skip all the BS that damaged their (what was left of it) credibility and go straight to “The President (as long as he’s from our party) can do whatever he wants”?
Otherwise, how do they explain the Clinton impeachment? Telling a lie about a blowjob in the Oval Office is a bigger crime than trying to extort political favors from a foreign government using military assistance approved by the Congress? Really?
Well, you know what my wife says…

This has become S.O.P. for this crowd, Larry.
1. He never did that.
2. Whoever told you he did that is a Deep State traitor.
3. OK, so maybe he did that, but it was a mistake.
4. He did that, but there’s nothing wrong with doing that.
5. Obama did that too.
6. But her emails!

This journalist has a interesting response to this.

You need to add Lincoln and Washington to the “But Mommy, the others did it too!” excuse,
IMPEACH THE MOFO ALREADY!

Did he quit yet? I thought I would ask since Herself is in the land of “Florida Man.”

It’s getting rather silly now – Don the Con ranting about how various people hate him or have it in for him. So? It’s like screaming “The guy who saw me murder my rival and then ratted me out never liked me!” Why does this matter Donnie? It’s pretty obvious you committed a crime, one you don’t seem to be denying. How does attacking the person who ratted you out make you less guilty? IMPEACH THE MOFO ALREADY!

Congrats on winning the triple crown, I can do layabout and wastrel but I am never quite up to standard on in the sluggard category. Too much caffeine here in the emerald city I guess.
