MEGHAN MCCAIN DECLARES THAT SHE DOES NOT LIKE KARL ROVE

Aw, that’s too bad, princess! Who doesn’t like Uncle Karl? He is so cuddly cute when he’s bashing liberals on Fox News, and he’s so endearing when he gives us his bizarre takes on American history. 

 

Actually, I’m kidding. I can’t stand the melon head, which (when you think about it) is still a compliment when you consider that his former boss (Bush the younger) nicknamed him “Turd Blossom.” 

  

PRESIDENT OBAMA ACCEPTS VA HEAD ERIC SHINSEKI RESIGNATION AMIDST MOUNTING EVIDENCE OF CORRUPTION AT VA FACILITIES 

Okay, so the cry babies on Capitol Hill now have the head they sought. Perhaps they’ll stuff and mount it next to Susan Rice, who saw her career go down in flames when she relied (perhaps too much) on talking points from the CIA in the wake of the Benghazi attack. 

 

So we now have a scapegoat! Great! So how about a solution? Surely between the hundreds of heads on the Hill and the White House, somebody should be able to come up with some way to serve those who have served us. For those playing along at home, the score at the half is Conservative Critics 1, Obama Administration 0, and America’s veterans…still waiting.

MEANWHILE, ON THE CAT FRONT…

We’re seeing some improvement in attitudes among the old and new children at Chez Gunther. Oreo is still living in our basement, but she is more relaxed and willing to approach the door at the top of the steps. Beyond that door, “Psycho Cat” Nyla still has the run of the first floor. 
  

Gray Girl has been living in my room for the entire week. She is also comfortable with her immediate surroundings and anxious to explore the world beyond my bedroom door. "Psycho Cat" also lurks behind this door.

We’re encouraged that their relationship has progressed from anger paws poking under the door with much hissing and guttural growls (guess who?) to touching paws and finally Nyla sitting outside the door, staring at the crack, and meowing softly as if she were calling to her little sister. This has all happened within the space of four days.

So this weekend along the cat front we expect sunny skies, lots of napping, with only a slight chance of fur flying. Tonight, 90% chance of cat nip under clear skies. 

THEN FINALLY...

Here’s a thought that popped in and out of my head in a flash this week: Wouldn’t it be disillusioning if someone determined that the Mona Lisa is a selfie?

Thoughts?

(Thank you for reading. Karl Rove! No sir, he definitely does not arouse me in any way, shape or form.)
