Clinton and Obama on Math:
Addition vs. Division

Inspired By Hillary’s Flat-Bed Truck Debates...

How Democrats Could Be Led By
Hillary Rodham Clinton
To A New State Of National Grace:

With Hillary Rodham Clinton leading the way not to debate on a flatbed truck but to invite Barack Obama to join her campaign with his, and hand in hand together, like that day in Montgomery, join ranks on behalf of the entire Democratic party at the New Harmony, Indiana, bridge into Illinois over the Wabash River now closed for lack of funds --

BOB GWALTNEY / Courier & Press Indiana

-- to begin an old-fashioned voters' rights drive for a summer of activism tours [like the Freedom riders] for college kids on break and limo liberals putting their gas money where their wine-drinking mouths are, helping disenfranchised citizens register to vote, under yesterday's onerous new photo ID ruling by the Supreme Court.

The Democrats could offer scholarships, if legal, for needy people to help pay for government issued IDs.

I Love This Precious Cat...

I stopped long enough to pick up my blogger email and saw there was a notification of a new comment on one of my older posts. It was from Sher.

She wrote:

Upsie will pass over the bridge soon. She will meet up with Taboo and Sushi.

I replied with a brief personal note, part of which I quote [Sher, I hope you don't mind]:

...and I'm crying. Oh god, there is never enough time to be with those we love and who love us, is there? As I go about my day, I shall keep you and her in my heart. Thanks for letting me know.

God speed, Upsie -- say hello to EVERYONE, with some extra loving scritches to all our little beasties! Then give 'em your special brand of a chewing out for leaving too soon, always too soon. And especially enjoy your heavenly feasts. Gentle nuzzy kisses and smooches for your pretty face.

Friends of Friday Ark and Weekend Cat Blogging, be sure to stop by to offer your support and special brand of catblogging kindness ~ to keep Sher and her family in your hearts as they face this difficult part of the journey with their beloved pussycat, and to ask the divine Upsie to say "HI" to your favorite friends waiting for you by the bridge.


After Sundance, I personally hope she meets up with Sushi first. He was always sweet to girl kitties. Taboo will want to wrassle with her as a little test, but I bet Miss 'Boo will think twice if she ever sees this little move Upsie put on Sundance a year of moons and stars ago.

Nice.

In Loving Memory

of our incredible blue-eyed, boy kitty.

Our hearts continue to miss him every day, as did Taboo while she was still here with us.

As they did on meltingly hot, summer days on their porch, they now rest, side by side, under the honeysuckle bush, where much to their kitty-hearts' everlasting delight wild birds would come to splash and drink from a bath suspended beneath its branches. [The birds were safe, of course - the cats were never allowed out.]
Last but never least, be sure to stop by Friday's Ark and the beautiful A Byootaful Life, for some serious cat blogging.

The Dance of the Moon...

Pablo's sister, Luna,
has arrived to entertain
the Friday Ark passengers.

We sail on the tide into
Weekend Cat Blogging, hosted
most festively by
Life From A Cat's Perspective.

PS: If you live near Tacoma and are a kind and gentle person who loves cats, sail on over to Cornelius's house of Itty Bitty Kitties and invite him to visit, maybe even move in!

Bon Voyage!

Meet The Puss...

[click on image to enlarge]

Meet grandson Pablo, rescued as a baby from the streets of Atlanta, now happily ensconced in his Decatur townhouse, where he lives with his mom and pop and his beloved Siamese sister Luna [whose favorite trick is to hide from me and my camera].

And it's better late than never to introduce him to Weekend Cat Blogging, hosted by Sher and the divineUpsie at What Did You Eat, and many new friends at Friday Ark, the finest sunset cruise on the planet for kitties to start their party weekend.

Too bad I don't live closer to make photographing him a regular habit. But he's a little shy and easily overwhelmed by too much hustle and bustle of the maddening crowd. ;-)

Everybody, meow a tenderly gentle "Hello" to Pablo! Ooh, too loud. Again, but softer, like a whispering sigh or a hickory wind.

"Hello."

I Once Was Lost In Internet Space...

But now I'm back from having found myself in some fresh hell of domain name servers and their ilk.

Lesson: I won't do whatever it was I did again anytime soon.

Welcome home, kemosabes.

Happy Birthday, SuzyQ...

A WCB In Silence & Remembrance...




Many hugs and sweetly soft nosy nuzzles go out to the lovingest boys Kashim and Othello, living purrfect kitty lives with their special mommy in wonderful Vienna, for their wonderful remembrance of our gone but never forgotten beloved best friend kitties,
Taboo, Sushi, Bianca, Merry, Beethoven, and Barsoap and his mom, Cindy - a little girl's first kitten.

Please stop over at The Catboys Realm for this weekend's cat blogging -- and to light a candle against the darkness of sorrow, in hopes for loving eternal reunions of beloved pets and their human companions everywhere.
PS: Bring hankies to dry your eyes!]

And scroll down to the next entry, or click here, to see a little video of a young Taboo sending eye kisses. Thanks, and love to all the brilliant blog kitties we have met.
