Full Comment, National Post (Canada):
A letter from the PM’s cat
Re: @ Work With Harper, Jan. 29; Don’t Be Fooled: Cats Are Evil, Laura Helmuth, Oct. 30.
I appreciate that there was a picture of me with my person, Stephen Harper, published in Tuesday’s National Post, showing me helping him with his breakfast. However, using my picture out of context, and in connection with an absolutely baseless article by Laura Helmuth stating that “cats are evil” is completely off the mark.
I have never been to Washington (where “outdoor cats eat basically all juvenile birds as soon as they fledge”) or lived in an island ecosystem (New Zealand is being urged to outlaw cats “in order to protect its endangered birds”).
I am at 24 Sussex Drive 24/7 and was formerly an inmate at the Ottawa Humane Society, where, before I was adopted was visited frequently by the undersigned ghostwriter, a volunteer at the shelter. We cats are predators, as are many other animals and we are not evil for doing what comes naturally.
Stanley the Cat (as imagined by C. Patrick O’Neill, Ottawa.)

We’ve had 4 shootings here the past few days. And a few media interviews the local media collects from a passer by saying that if just guns would disappear the area would be safe. These are all gang motivated shootings through that the local media depicts as middle class people shooting each other up irrationally. They talk it as a national mental health issue but the only real mental illness here is in the shooters and in the media chasing them. A mental health class for newsanchors might be one of the first best ways to combat gun violence.
While I love Alyssa Milano. I don’t think she realize that the Obama ROE is one of the causative problems of injured and KIA soldiers.
thanks ya senator:
Great Lady. Good Quote.

Even if it seems romantic it is just damed foolish to travel alone in any foreign country. Take the bus tour. Pay for the side vacation. If you make some really good friends go back and see it in more detail.
Women are faced with local customs and laws that make them vulnerble.

@ 8 heysoos:
I imagine the IDF is too tough for them and Morsi will be afraid of the French and Russians now. And on good terms with China, so his only leverage will be against US support forces unless Obama gives him another 8 bilion dollar handout. While 8 million mortgages in the US go underwater.

I don’t know about the tanks, but with the latest avionics, the F16 is an extremely deadly plane…I doubt those models went to Egypt, so in fact if they fight the IAF they are already at a disadvantage, and that’s not even considering the talent of IAF pilots…results in a Israeli shutout…as for the armor, IDF Merks are dangerously close in ability as an Abrahms…there again I doubt the Gyps can outfight them even with a marginally superior tank…result, lots of dead tanks and tankers…but it’s not the fighting capability it’s the goddamn principle of it, like throwing gas on a fire

The percentage of black voters who supported Obama isn’t that much higher than it would be for any other Democrat candidate, really.
He did probably get a higher-than-normal turnout among black voters, though.

They will eventually start beating on each other when their interests diverge.
The question is will it fracture the coalition at election time. I doubt it.

I was stuck at Mc Carran field Tuesday morning for almost an hour waiting for a shuttle bus. Seems that some rich fat-cat one-percenter had flown in on a BIG private jet (which burns a lot of evil,dirty oil). He must have been awfully important because there were all sorts of police around and people with big scary looking guns. I heard that the President was coming to town that day too, and wish that he could have been there to stand up for us little people who just wanted a fair shot at getting out of the airport.

It’s easier to get away with stealing votes in minority precincts because those are urban and are under the control of corrupt city political machines. And if someone complains that Obama should have won the precinct by only 65% and not 99%, how are they gonna prove that, considering all the peer pressure against any black who openly admits to voting GOP?
I would love to see Obamas luck run out & see him impeached.
