Shhh. The monkeys went away and left me, so I’m hiding out behind the green sitting bench. Hee hee! The monkey lady couldn’t find me this morning because my hiding skills are so effective. I guess she was pretty frantic; I don’t know, I was asleep under this flap thing at the back of the bench. It’s like a green cave back there. I’m invisible unless the flap gets lifted up, like she did after looking back there 3 other times. She seemed pretty happy to see me, though. Which is only right and proper, because I am the cat…

Signing the paperrs… this service provided by Pact Humane Society. It took a while to get through the paperwork, but at this point it was all over except for buying food, litter, a collar, a nametag, treats, and some catnip toys. PACTHumane does it all with volunteers, and they do it very well. One of the ladies tonight was a trainee – she very happy to complete her first adoption. We are now the proud people of a really nice brown tabby cat. He seems to be settling in nicely, though he seems to have a serious catnip jones. Oh,…

What a day. Where to begin? It was another long, boring, crappy day in my little metal cell with the picture window. Some more of the big monkeys came by. One of them came when I was trying to get some shut-eye and try to ignore the monkeys. Then it was dinner time – the monkeys that cleaned out our cells came in as usual, cleaning each cell one at a time and letting us prisoners out for a little precious “freedom.” While I was waiting for my turn, the one monkey that’s been hanging around a lot lately came…

Petfinder PetNotes Notes: Hi, my name is Dickens and I am a 4-5 year old male DSH black kitty. I am neutered, front paw declawed and weighs 12 lbs., 5.5 oz. Crap, I can’t remember the name of the cat I liked so much 2 weeks ago. We were planning on going to the other Petsmart store in the area, but I keep thinking about the big black cat I held at the other location. Crap, crap, crap. I think it may have been this one, though. And I don’t know if it’s still there. Crap. The last few days,…

Obama: White House blind to poverty in U.S. WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama on Wednesday night again criticized the Bush administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina and urged a black policymaking conference to make sure the poor are not left behind again. “The incompetence was colorblind,” said Obama (D-Ill.). “What wasn’t colorblind was the indifference. Human efforts will always pale in comparison to nature’s forces. But [the Bush administration] is a set of folks who simply don’t recognize what’s happening in large parts of the country.” MSNBC: The Other America “I hope we realize that the people of New Orleans weren’t…

Salt Lake Tribune – Salt Lake Tribune Home Page On Wednesday, Rocky Anderson will make history. At noon in City Hall, the Salt Lake City mayor will quietly sign an executive order to offer a handful of health benefits to gay and unmarried heterosexual partners of city employees. This won’t last long – probabably not through the end of the next legislative session – but it’s nice to see these two categories together for the first (and probably last) time.

This weekend is going to be pretty busy. I’m not looking forward to all of the meetings and running around, plus it gives David and me very little time to take care of an essential item on my agenda. I’ve got an all-day meeting Saturday that’s a kind of retreat for Holy Moly, and to be ready for that I’ve got some formatting to do for fliers and things that we’ll be handing out in bulletins. The meeting goes from 9am to 3pm and is supposed to be a planning event. We had better get some actual planning done, rather…

Scandal Visits the White House: The Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal reached into the White House yesterday, picking off President Bush’s top procurement official — who just barely had time to resign before being arrested. The federal charges against David Safavian stem from his tenure as chief of staff of the General Services Administration, predating his arrival at the White House a year ago. But his arrest nonetheless draws renewed attention to the ongoing corruption and influence-peddling inquiry swirling around Abramoff, a lobbyist well known for his connections to conservative Republicans in the White House and Congress. And for a White…
