Hello, Kitty
There was another cat out on the deck when I got home a little while ago. There was something about his (her?) face that made me think he was young. Fully grown, but still young. The most notable thing was his incredible girth. This was a tubby cat. I admit I'm used to Sammy's supermodel look (pointy shoulder blades: sexy, but not fun to pet), but even so this was one fatass kitty cat. He was like the cat over at Sarah's house a few weeks ago, coarse hair and a vertical tail. How did it ever happen that Sammy would have the softest, silkiest coat around? He's a ruthless killer! Hmmm, maybe it's the bloodlust that does it? Man, that's messed up.

The second "season" of Clone Wars was absolutely wicked. Of course, now I can't believe that I have to wait thirteen blasted months for Episode III. Ki-Adi-Mundi... dead? Noooooooooooooooooooo!

"Linguo... dead?"
"Linguo is dead."

9/11 Circus
Here's my problem with the 9/11 Commission: the commissioners are giving interviews. Every evening, every morning, on the Sunday morning doubletalk showcases, they are everywhere. And though the Democrats are on more often, the Republicans have been doing it, too. This is madness! How are they supposed to maintain the pretense of conducting an honest, objective investigation if they are actively engaging in punditry? Do jurors in the middle of a trial give interviews? Do detectives in the middle of an investigation give interviews? NO! Of course not!

This commission was supposed to point out the structural flaws in our government that left us vulnerable to terrorism, to point out that our intelligence agencies were still set up to fight the Cold War. Now it's degenerated into petty politicking. Sad, really.

Have a repetitive day.
