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…

Miss Alli checks in with her recaplet of the TAR8 premiere… you know, the one that I called an “interminable crawl to the Pit Stop.” The overnight opinions on TWOP are still mixed but not terribly enthusiastic, with some exceptions. Almost everyone thinks Godly Ma Weaver getting run over by an Amish buggy was a highlight, along with the appearance of our beloved Kevin and Drew. Who’re fine, by the way – Kevin’s already checked in at TWOP and gotten his post edited because he committed the sin of adding a signature (signed posts are frowned on there). So Miss…

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…

Hey! Amazing Race’s 8th season premieres tonight, and I’m really just very “meh” about it. I’m going to attempt to blog about each family in real time, more or less. I can’t find handy little thumbnail pictures, due to CBS’ use of Flash on the TAR8 website, but I’ll try to make do. The teams are: Gaghan (oh, I sense a nickname coming on) This family includes kids, and the daughter is a little too icky-poo cute for my admittedly unkidly taste. Schroeder – featuring a hawt daughter and a really sullen looking son. They’re from Louisiana, and had a…

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…

Chicago Tribune | School Expels Girl for Having Gay Parents ONTARIO, Calif. — A 14-year-old student was expelled from a Christian school because her parents are lesbians, the school’s superintendent said in a letter. Shay Clark was expelled from Ontario Christian School on Thursday. “Your family does not meet the policies of admission,” Superintendent Leonard Stob wrote to Tina Clark, the girl’s biological mother. Stob wrote that school policy requires that at least one parent may not engage in practices “immoral or inconsistent with a positive Christian life style, such as cohabitating without marriage or in a homosexual relationship,” The…
