I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

Re: Bush's dead cat bounce at the polls.

People knew the media would hype this. Why wasn't the Kerry campaign working the poll angle before they did?

p.s. James Taranto and a few other Inernet types are on CSpan and they're discussing "trolling" and how the "give money to Dean everytime a troll posts" strategy worked.


cat love


awwwww...


GravatarMake Sure Your Cats Don't See This.

Zell Miller must have one as a pet.


GravatarThank you, thank you, thank you! I was afraid that you weren't going to do cat blogging today. BGK's cute kitties helped me avoid withdrawal, but I'm glad to see one of the Atrikitties, too.

GravatarI love Friday cat blogging - I'm pretty sure that John Asscroft is convinced that we are all Satanists by now.


GravatarMissy does not want to look at the camera when I am trying to take her picture. Silly cat.


GravatarWell, I'm happy we got to see lots of other folks kitties while waiting for the Atrios cats to show.


GravatarOh, lord! That turkey vulture brings back memories. I once worked in a building where turkey vultures nested. They're actually quite beautiful in flight, but they have the ugliest faces in nature. Their skin looks like raw meat, which is appropriate since they eat roadkill. Saw one close up on a window ledge -- not something you want to see at lunch time!


GravatarNice. comfortable-looking chair.

Too bad it's now covered with shed cat hair...


GravatarMissy is cute! I love that banded tail.


Gravatarjust me, that is one hefty cat! and the tail is unbelievable-is it a cross between a calico and white Persian?

GravatarMissy is a 10 year old long-haired Calico according to my wife. And yesh, she is getting a bit large. She belonged to my wife's mother.


GravatarAs far as I know, 'yesh' is not a word.


GravatarRe: Bush's dead cat bounce at the polls.

Hey, remember that bit of hilarity after the Dem convention, when a poll came out INSTANTLY to prove Kerry had No Bounce and it was Panic Time for Democrats, and we found out that the poll was actually crap because of when it was taken?

Maybe that's happening now in reverse! But no... isn't the media liberal?... How could that be, then...?


Gravatarjust me - gorgeous creature.


GravatarAs far as I know, 'yesh' is not a word.

It is to all self-respecting fans of Mooch 'n' Earl.


GravatarYesh!


GravatarMaybe that's happening now in reverse!

No "maybe" about it...


Gravatargeor3ge - The damn dumb Dallas paper dropped Mooch 'n' Earl; I was heartbroken.


GravatarSo did the Daily Oklahoman before I moved the hell out of there. The Charleston paper doesn't run it either. I get my fix via email, but it runs two weeks behind because of syndication rules.

Everybody knew it was going to happen so why didn't the Kerry campaign put out press releases to dampen it.

Kind of the way a football coach talks up his opponent before a game.

GravatarFelis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.


GravatarTall sink, short troll.

Dammit, you beat me to the punchline.

GravatarFriday cat experiment.
Wet both hands.
Place a drop of bleach on one hand.
Do the hand-wash thing.
Dry hands on you choice of--
...100% organic cotton cloth
...paper towel
...your T shirt, if you're the Goob.
Present hands carefully to cat(s).
Observe response.
Repeat with other cats if necessary.
Have bandaids ready...just in case.
Those of you with agressive cats or very sensitive skin, or who hate the sight of blood, do this with gloves on.

She's a strange girl.

"George W. Bush, His Faith"

"Will you vote for Bush?"

I'm just saying, this doesn't really look non-partisan to me. I see three pro-Bush ads and no pro-Kerry ads. At Time freakin' magazine!

This is a "likely voters" poll, and Time gets to decide what "likely" means.

GravatarJack MEHOFF?? Sweet baby Jesus, did the O'Reilly not learn in 8th grade you don't respond to anything by anyone named Jack Mehoff or Mike Hunt?

GravatarBeautiful cat. My cat is named Lulu,and, since she is fifteen and a half, she was named before Lulu became such a cliche pet name. I named her in honor of Ed Norton's (the sanitation enginee, not the actor)little dog that ran away.
I don't know why we make such fools of ourselves over these fluffy creatures but, I'm pretty sure it reflects well on those of us who don't require slavish devotion from our pets.

blowing in the wind, civilization
at an end.

Tangerine,
She is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine,
When she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen
Toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she has them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine

(Female singer)
Tangerine,
She is all they say
With mascara'd eye and chapeaux by Dache.
Tangerine,
With her lips of flame
If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame.

Clothes on Tangerine
Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine".
Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl
But she's only fooling one girl
She's only fooling Tangerine!

GravatarO'Reilly took to avoid saying "MEE-hoffer."

Sounds like he pronounced differently every time he said it.


GravatarFor all of Tweety's protestations, he's still a pussy (miaow!) when it comes to interviewing.

I really wish there could be a one-week exchange programme between the British networks and a cable news network: stick John Humphrys and Jeremy Paxman and Jon Snow up with the politicians -- from both sides -- and get them squirming.

I am of the theory that cat lovers
are extremely secure people inside
and do not need unconditional
devotion. People I run into that
actually say they dislike cats in
the end display all the signs that
they cannot deal with an animal that
can make the decision to not associate
with them. The ego takes a hell of a
hit.


GravatarI think one of the five most upsetting things I've ever experienced is discovering my cat Kafka drowned and left on my doorstep by people unknown to this day, when I lived in New Orleans.

They's some sick fucks out there, my friends, I assure you.


Gravatarrorschach:
My three males are only borderline interested in it, most of the time, but Fruney the Mama Cat loves it. Onliest thing is, she reverts to her kittenhood, and tries to shred the hand that feeds her. It's kind of a nice flashback, but it really is safer to use a glove with her.


Gravatarrorschach

Yes sir and sorry to hear that happened.


GravatarOur beast is named Angus Crookshanks McPhee. More commonly known as "You fat bastard." Well, the wee Biblios call him nicer names, but Mr. B and I like to insult so we can see him tune us out with his unshakable cat aplomb. I just brushed him vigorously while watching TDS. Good stress relief for troubled times, eh>


GravatarThank you EkCenTrik. Everything about Kafka was so strange. She just moved into my house the day after I got my cat Calypso fixed--and their markings were nearly identical. It was as though Calypso had said, "Fix me? I don't think so!"

She was something else. I buried her at the foot of an ancient oak in City Park...


GravatarAttaturk

That was just way way way below the belt.

Buh buh buh She looks gooder on the teevee. < /freeper >

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.


GravatarPeople I run into that actually say they dislike cats in the end display all the signs that they cannot deal with an animal that can make the decision to not associate with them.

I dislike cats personally because after five minutes of exposure to them I have an allergic reaction that makes me unable to breathe. But every time I see a cat, no matter how ornery or shy that cat has a reputation for being, that cat will immediately leap at me and try to rub every inch of their poisonous hide against my person.

Cats are trying to kill me. I have the proof. I am not sufficiently Christlike to love them in return. Sorry.


GravatarI just acquired a room mate and her two black cats, bringing the total to 4 black cats. One fat psycho domestic shorthair, one big-head no neck skitso medium hair, one manx with a white hitler mustache and white paws, and the star of the show, Mr. Dino J Mcgillicuddy, who's mostly Burmese.

My life is very cat-centric right now.
Cat-tastic, even.

GravatarAnd now for something completely different: combining cats & guitars...
Backslider, re- aminals performing you a service. If you aint never had an almost-twenty-pound friendliest-cat-in-the-world type kitty jump on your chest, look you right in the eye, put his paws on either side of your neck, nuzzle his head under your chin (where he used to be able to fit back when he was the runt of the litter), and go to sleep, there's a service you aint been performed.
Not a criticism of you, 'slider; we're all different, and you aren't missing anything you don't want in the first place, ("Let them that don't want any, have memories of not gettin' none")
I'm just sayin'...
Kinda like my younger sister, who I tease about having no "guitar receptors" in her brain. She can hear some dynamite lick by Hayward, Gilmore, or Stevie ray, and her face just remains totally blank. (While the closing chords of Driftwood, or a really good Zappa solo can almost lift me out of my chair, my hands assuming the Air Guitar Position).I love her dearly, but damn, girl, what you're missing!

GravatarA couple of weeks ago, Mrs Anon found a young cat and took it to the humane society. It looked as if it had never been a pet. She went back a week later to check up on it, but with the area's overpopulation problem, it looks like they had to euthanize her. Sad, sad.

Anyway, Mrs Anon couldn't help herself, and so we now have Licorice the kitten to keep us company.


GravatarEkCenTrik, so true about those who are not cat lover (with the exception of allergies).

My first cat was
Blaze

He was the best judge of character ... in people and food. If he didn't eat it I wouldn't touch it, and he didn't take to person, I always became suspicious of the person.

If only Cats could pick our leaders. ... hummm ... which reminds me of that sorry ass of an excuse for canine comic relief at the RNC. .... FeeFee Kerry and Barney? wow


GravatarMy best friend's cat was named Bodine(after the Pynchon character). Another friend's cat was Livia, after the poisoner in I, Claudius. Really a bitchy cat, and no wonder, saddled with a name like that.

One of the first books my mom ever read to me was "the lives and times of archy and mehitabel, by don marquis, illustrated by the incomparable George Herriman of Krazy Kat fame. This book planted the seed of my interest in American cartoonists and comic artists, a field I have made my business for the past 16 years. So, naturally, when a stray gutter cat showed up on my doorstep and inserted herself into my houshold eight years ago, my first thought was: "Here's Mehitabel." And here she still is. She's gone through a few archys, though.


GravatarYou guys are stupid.


GravatarAlright, you asked for it.

Best cat poem. Ever.

the song of mehitabel
By Don Marquis, in "archy and mehitabel," 1927


this is the song of mehitabel
of mehitabel the alley cat
as i wrote you before boss
mehitabel is a believer
in the pythagorean
theory of the transmigration
of the soul and she claims
that formerly her spirit
was incarnated in the body
of cleopatra
that was a long time ago
and one must not be
surprised if mehitabel
has forgotten some of her
more regal manners

i have had my ups and downs
but wotthehell wotthehell
yesterday sceptres and crowns
fried oysters and velvet gowns
and today i herd with bums
but wotthehell wotthehell
i wake the world from sleep
as i caper and sing and leap
when i sing my wild free tune
wotthehell wotthehell
under the blear eyed moon
i am pelted with cast off shoon
but wotthehell wotthehell

do you think that i would change
my present freedom to range
for a castle or moated grange
wotthehell wotthehell
cage me and i d go frantic
my life is so romantic
capricious and corybantic
and i m toujours gai toujours gai

i know that i am bound
for a journey down the sound
in the midst of a refuse mound
but wotthehell wotthehell
oh i should worry and fret
death and i will coquette
there s a dance in the old dame yet
toujours gai toujours gai

i once was an innocent kit
wotthehell wotthehell
with a ribbon my neck to fit
and bells tied onto it
o wotthehell wotthehell
but a maltese cat came by
with a come hither look in his eye
and a song that soared to the sky
and wotthehell wotthehell
and i followed adown the street
the pad of his rhythmical feet
o permit me again to repeat
wotthehell wotthehell

my youth i shall never forget
but there s nothing i really regret
wotthehell wotthehell
there s a dance in the old dame yet
toujours gai toujours gai

the things that i had not ought to
i do because i ve gotto
wotthehell wotthehell
and i end with my favorite motto
toujours gai toujours gai

boss sometimes i think
that our friend mehitabel
is a trifle too gay


That is all. Thank you and goodnight.

GravatarAtrios has the best cat pictures in the blogoshere!


GravatarLast cat we had was Perro (which is to say, "dog") because his coloration was so much like that of our dog Yeti that both I and my father mistook him for our occasionally wayward dog. He adopted us, though we were stalwart dog people. He moved into the garage, then my bedroom, and eventually, after Yeti, dominated the remaining carnivore contingent, both mere canine females.

Nuts about cantaloupe, crazy cat. He wouldn't claw your face for a bite, but he'd leap from countertop to table in pursuit, and indulge himself disgracefully with the seeds and pulp discarded in the sink.


GravatarThey do love canteloupe- I had one cat who would try to steal it from your spoon.

GravatarI love cats and thanks for posting this.Anyone who loves animals can't be a complete idiot,although I must confess you do give it a good shot.
Did you know that according to the latest TIME & NEWSWEEK(VRWC media tools that they are),polls,your cat is now tending toward voting Bush-Cheney in 04?


GravatarAtrios:

You are the ultimate representative of the New Democrat. 200 innocent Russian children are murdered by Islamofascists and you post a picture of your fucking cat?!

You goddamn, sorry, worthless cocksucking son of a whore!

Now I understand Zell's raw anger.


GravatarHarriet, the wonder cat


GravatarFix the pic! It's too wide! It's messing up your site.


GravatarGo stink up some other site, Dembasher. Your racism and insults are not welcome here.

My favorite cat name would have to be Schmutz. The Schmutz I know is a black longhair who's skittish but ever so cute...
Thanks for all the cat pics, everyone!


GravatarURGENT--04 Sept 2004 7:00 p.m.

Announcement from Feline Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regarding approach of Hurricane Frances to the home my kitties share with their human:

Three emergency shelters have now been opened in closets. These shelters feature convenient access to food bowls, water bowls, and litter boxes. Any cat who feels unsafe for any reason is urged to proceed immediately to the nearest closet and hide behind stuff.

The screened porches have been closed for the duration of the storm. Cats are advised that once wind speeds reach tropical strength, human emergency personnel may not be able to rescue them should they decide to go out anyways. Cats are advised to remain indoors for the duration of the storm.

After discussion, it has been decided not to open the space behind the hot water heater as an emergency shelter, as FEMA has concluded it does not meet minimum safety standards.

The regular 7:30 p.m. wet food feeding will take place as usual, and no interruption in feeding schedules is contemplated at this time.

Next update: 11:00 p.m.
Feline Emergency Management Agency
Sebring, Florida
(and wish us all luck, OK?)


GravatarI can't possibly stink up this site. It already stinks beyond imagination.

You are a goddamned disgrace to humanity...there is no mention on this blog about an enormous tragedy, just a bunch or drivel about a stupid fucking cat.

GravatarDembasher - Way to double post, jackass. You think that just because we talk about something cheerful means we don't mourn a senseless loss of life? Fucker. Atrios maintains a weblog, not a news page. And if you hate it so much here, GO AWAY. You won't be missed.

Other Charlotte - LOL!


GravatarOh, and good luck Char!
