Glossary for newcomers:

Chief of the Counterfeit Compassionate Conservative And Oh Yeah By The Way Conspicuously Caucasian Caucus
= George W. Bush
Dither of Dolts = The Bush Administration and heads of agencies
Lint Twins = The Bush twins, who, like lint, are neither useful nor decorative
Shithead = Karl Rove.  To save typographer's labor and print space, this combines the two soubriquets frequently applied to Mr. Rove: Bush's Brain + Turd Blossom = Shithead 
XianXrazies  = Any group professing to be Christian which believes the faith excludes any of humanity from the hope it presumably offers since Christ's sacrifice or which believes it has successfully learned to read God's mind or which believes God wants followers who are drafted or gathered by impressment or which believes God hates or wants anyone else to hate those who do not believe in Him.
Ambulatory Emetic = Condi Rice, Secretary of State, aka the cacophagous, fawning bitch cur that slithers and crawls behind her master. A gourmand of whatever shit he deposits, she mixes it with her venomous digestive juices, then vomits it forth before the leaders of the world
War = .
The indefeasible demonstration in support of the premise that we aren't good enough to qualify as fallen angels and aren't smart enough to qualify as risen apes.

The cat's perspective of power in action…

A cat may look on a king.  -- …  John Heywood, Proverbs (1546)

Cats, cartoonists, satirists -- thank God for 'em!

First up, thanks to my computer guru and good, good friend  Rob Bell who called to my attention a video titled "Hu's on first."   If you feel awfully secure about your employment -- or truly don't give a damn about offending bloated capitalist GOPer pigs -- play it full volume.  It's rib-crackingly funny with a tinge of terror that, "Oh my God! It might be real!"

Then stop by Bob Geiger's site to look at the work of the growing roster of cartoonists who have given Geiger express permission to post their cartoons!  There are some pe-wowzers among'em!  And I enjoyed the "Republican Revolution" animation, too -- it's not very long, so check it out if you have time.

By the way, the cursed cancer has begun to insist I take it a bit more seriously than I had been doing.  So the blizzard of e-mails, postings, and comments  will be lighter for the future. 

That does NOT mean you don't have homework:  Find out what's going on, and if it ain't right, FIX IT, dammit!

1 - That Hu video was the funniest one I've seen today. Thanks. Also, thank you for the kind comments about Kate who is btw accepting a job at hospice. That has been her goal from the beginning. I hope the people who are helping you know what a gem they have as a client. I think of you during the day and send all the best thoughts your way. Pat, Pat to Miss Betsey. (Comment this)

2 - PC Mary, yes, the Hu video is marvelous -- though, as I said, I had a momentary clutch of terror that it might be real! It's not as though we're dealing with a first rate mind in the White House at present!

I was very pleased to hear Kate passed and am doubly pleased that she has chosen hospice work. My primary care physician for many years, Dr. Ko, recently assigned me to a new primary care doctor so that he can take over as head of Kaiser's hospice operation. Who knows? Perhaps we'll be back together sooner than he anticipated!!! LOL!

Believe me, I am constantly astonished by how nice everyone is to me...doctors to washroom attendants, I am treated to excellent care, beautiful manners, sunny smiles, and more than one raucous laugh per encounter! Kaiser here in Oakland has wonderful people. I am grateful for them everyday!

3 - I've been missing your pithy commentary at various hotspots around the lefty blogosphere, and been a bit worried 'bout'cha! You know, you really don't *have* to test the limits of modern medicine... we need you kicking righty @$$! ;)

Seriously, though, I'm thinking about you and sending entreaties and petitions unto the heavens in hopes they'll reach the appropriate dieties. (Comment this)

Have my pitchfork and torch at the ready!

Sending you big hugs, XristiM. (Comment this)

5 - It's so good to be back online. I've missed your entertaining pithy comments. Take it easy, y'hear! ("y'hear"? Oh dear, I think I'm finally turning into an American!) (Comment this)

6 - chimera, thanks, m'dear! All pleas and entreaties to whatever deities are appreciated -- but let's limit them to asking that I be "functional"! I really don't need to leap over candelsticks most days!

7 - ellroon, I have this strong suspicion that you came into the world armed with a pitchfork and torch -- so I know your mum was a heroine! Poke, prod, and ignite: There are all kinds of wrongs to be righted! I'm counting on you! (Comment this)

8 - Mr. Adams, it was such a relief to see you "absentee" announcement at SparrowChat the other day -- I had begun to fear for your health or safety!

I think perhaps you have a way to go before you need worry about sounding American! Curmudgeonly good-sense is not a national characteristic here yet!
