I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

linda - the link didn't work for me.

Heckuva job, Issa - blowing the CIA's cover in Benghazi because you're trying to embarrass the Obama administration. Trying to create MORE dead diplomats you can use for political purposes?

"Republicans were aiming to embarrass the Obama administration over State Department security lapses. But they inadvertently caused a different picture to emerge than the one that has been publicly known: that the victims may have been let down not by the State Department but by the CIA. If the CIA was playing such a major role in these events, which was the unmistakable impression left by Wednesday’s hearing, having a televised probe of the matter was absurd."



Kam, DH is from Appleton, WI, hometown of Tailgunner Joe. He has always warned me to never mention that name there -- half the population is mortified that he came from there and half the population think he was great. I never mention it!

gg:  Don't know why the link didn't work but if you go to cbc.ca/news you'll find the article about Pastor Terry Jones being stopped at the border and not allowed into my fair country.  He was planning a protest in Toronto.

Riley - I can't get these pics into a PM, so I'll just put 'em here.

Ms Boo (my alpha empath cat)

Emma (my feral sweeheart - a real lover) - no, not related!

Well good on Canada! I don't think that anyone in their right or left mind could condone burning another religion's holy book. God knows what shitstorm Jones would have brought down on Canada.



I hear that Romney's touting his emergency room health care plan. Again. Because ER care is so fiscally and medically efficient and effective for a chronic disease?



I really think that Romney is ignorant of strife, and deprivation, and dealing with life-threatening diversity without a mattress of money to ease his fall. He's speaking from a dearth of experience, I think, not necessarily from a fully informed yet uncaring heart. I am not sure which is worse, presidentially speaking.

KITTEHS!



That is all.

Kam love the kitties....Miss Boo has eyes like my ( he's been gone for a long, long time ) Woody.  Short for Woodrow Wilson.  Quite a guy and many said there was something  ( a knowingness ) going on when they looked at him.  He was a charmer that knew how to work you.  When I was gone to work, he would go two houses down and talk/asked to be petted and get treats from the man who lived there.......and John would later tell me.....when Woody heard my car getting ready to enter into the long drive to our house.......he would take off and run as hard as he could home.........be sitting on the driveway when I got there looking oh so bored but convincing me that he had patiently waited for me to return back home.  John and I had many a laugh over it. 

Just read the piece about the health care plan before I tuned in here......maybe he should try it out for himself and family.....just so's he could get a little inkling of how well it works.  SIGH !!!!!

linda - thank-you.  Went and read the article.  Good for Canada - now if only he couldn't have come back here either.  I'm with Enjoyful - it is just WRONG to burn any one's holy book.

Enoyful - I also agree with your assessment of Romney (and his wife for that matter).  They think they understand the problems people face, as they have definitely faced problems.  Breast Cancer (as we all know) is a major problem.  Raising 5 boys - problems.  MS - big ass problem.  But they don't understand the difference between facing major problems when you have a shitload of money and facing problems when you are wondering just how on earth you're going to pay the doctor bills, pay the mortgate, buy oil, buy food, help your kids out (who are even worse off), get to work when you are still feeling like death on a grill, etc.....  I don't think they are bad people at all.  I just think they are clueless about the regular problems of regular people, which doesn't translate at all well into the President of those same people. 

Hope this works.....a few of my friends....the most prominent kitty is the gray and white one.  His name is Beau Freckles:  By the way they all put up with their sister...Teeney Weeney who indeed has a training collar on.  She outgrew it a couple of weeks after this pic.

Good for Canada. No country should accept a person who is guilty of criminal solicitation.

Sweet litties! Of course, may I remind y'all who rules....

Kitty porn!  With a cute doggie too.  I have Ceiling Cat living with me ...

And orange kitty who showed up on my porch went to the vet today.  He is limping because somebody kicked him and injured his pelvis.  Will heal itself but I want to go find and kick the sh*t out of whoever did it.  Now to try to find him a home.  Ceiling cat is not in favor of other cats in her realm.  Might have gotten away with it if he was an old cat who would just lay around and not pester her to play but he's only about 3. 

Ok, I will continue with some big litty porn (while we wait for the debate to start):

I know nothing really about Ann Romney so I will not comment.

But I do know immensely rich people who are able to put themselves in others' shoes - and would NEVER, EVER say what Romney said about the 47 percent. They would be shocked at such a sentiment.

Romney doesn't feel for others because he can't - not because he has money. It's an insult to rich people to say otherwise. I do know rich sociopaths, too - and I've come across many a poor and middle-income one as well.  I don't think Romney is a sociopath because his intentions are to do his duty. But he has no empathy, so he can only be mechanical about it. He can't really feel. I feel pity for Romney. Always have. The inability to feel has to be the worst deprivation one can think of.

Hey, I have a couple of lovely litties too, but their pics are sitting in my Apple Photoshop and I haven't a clue how to get them over here.  HELP!

BTW, I LOVE seeing everyone's pics.  Enjoyful, where are yours?  (Or maybe you have the same problem as I??)
