U.S.: JOE WILSON DEMOCRATIC RAGE AAHHHH *CHEST BEATING*

  • I do think that, as I said last night, we have to get to the point where we can have a conversation about big important issues that matter to the American people without vitriol, without name-calling, without the assumption of the worst of other people’s motives.
  • President Barack Obama • Regarding the “You Lie!” comment by Joe Wilson, which may have been the “whine heard ’round the world” based on the response he got. Obama’s response is completely reasonable and should be listened to on both sides. The Democratic Party is using the outrage of the statement against Wilson hardcore, as an excuse to raise funds to campaign against him and smear his image. Bros, set the example. Don’t stoop down to Joe Wilson’s level. It’s missing the point of all the stuff Obama said. • source

U.S.: Near the finish line: These cats strike fear in our hearts

  • Meet the uber-evil kitty Kitty, owned by friend of the site David Putney, is perhaps the scariest, most violent cat you’ll ever meet. According to Putney, she was getting agitated because we took so long to actually get her up. Hopefully she won’t claw our faces now.

  • Meet Buster, a.k.a. Mr. Yawny Lucas McCallister sent us this wonderful photo of a cat yawning which somehow makes us never want to be near a yawning cat ever again. Look at those freaking teeth! They could bite off a finger – or kill an unsuspecting mouse or two!

    Buster yawning. Scary.

U.S.: Felines in California, tell your legislator not to pass Senate Bill 250

  • The law would require spaying and neutering of most pets. State Sen. Dean Florez is attempting to push through the law, called The Pet Responsibility Act. The law would require licenses for pets who wanted to keep their junk unaltered. All they want to do is reproduce! Why do you want to take that away from them, Dean? Anyway, it didn’t pass in its first go-round but will have a second coming up soon. If you wanna stay on the prowl, guys, you best show some solidarity! source
