Friday Cat Blogging—welcome to the family edition*

Could you run that by me again?

What do you want to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!

Oh ghods, they’ve adopted Pinky and the Brain.

What makes her say that, Wooster?

Perhaps it’s because of your evil expression, Jeeves.

You guys aren’t fooling anyone. Right, Bodi?

Sorry, Cham, can’t talk, STRING!

Has anyone ever pointed out how easy it is to distract you?

Did you not hear me? STRING!

That joke leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The boys in black and white are Murphy Wooster and Martel Jeeves

and the latest addition to Chez McCullough’s menagerie.

Thumb-monkey, you’re leaving us. Again. We do NOT approve.

There are worse things than the thumb-monkey leaving. Trust me.

Oh my…*

Eek!*

I don’t mean to make little of your plight, but I appear to be flying…

Now that’s funny!

Yeah, see if I ever sympathize with y’all again.

Yeah, somehow, I think, we’re going to be fine.

…

Pardon me, but did I hear someone call for Greensheep?

Or, waits, “sleeves”? Oh. Nevermind.

*With thanks to Sara and James for the spare cats.

You say that like lazy muffin isn’t a cardinal cat virtue.

Your sister is a bit…alarming.

Nothin’. No reason. Why do you ask?

Why does that response make me suspicious?

Because you’re not a trusting soul, like my friend here, that’s why.

You do realize your friend is concrete, right?

That would explain soooo much!

Said the cat in the bathtub. You house cats are super weird.

 

Open Letter to my Senators Re: ACHA

Dear Senators Johnson and Baldwin,
 
I am a county board supervisor here in Wisconsin, Dunn County District 17. I am writing to urge you to vote against the ACHA as presented. The closed doors, secret meetings process for creating this bill has been catastrophically flawed and is a perfect example of the worst of Washington DC.
 
The American people deserve an open and aboveboard process for the writing of a bill that will impact 1/6th of the American economy and directly affect millions of peoples’ health. They do not deserve to be completely shut out of the process, and passing this bill as it stands and after this process is likely to create a kind of rage against the government that this country hasn’t seen in generations.
 
As a local politician I have seen the anger of my constituents when they feel their voices aren’t being heard and I can’t imagine how much greater that rage will be among people who will see their healthcare taken away or greatly increased in price by a bill that was produced in silence and secrecy that was then rushed through the process.
 
All of the polling suggests that this bill is already deeply unpopular and that the more the people hear about it the less they like it. That’s not going to change if it is passed without proper hearings and the chance for the people to be heard. It is going to become infinitely worse.
 
I believe that this is a bill that will do great harm to your constituents and mine and I am certain that the process that has produced it will generate massive anger in the American people, anger of the sort that is corrosive to the very foundations of democracy. I implore you not to vote for this bill as it stands and certainly not to do so given the process that produced it.
 
Kelly McCullough
