November 18th, 2008 by TRex @ 7:30 pm| Posted in monsters of entitlement |

 

Yes, Joe Lieberman should have his head shoved into a running wood-chipper, but that’s not the only thing going on in the world today.  Here’s a list of five things to help you think happy thoughts.

1. The video above. (via Jezebel via Wired)

2. Mark Begich is now more than two thousand votes ahead of Ted Stevens.

3. There is actually a place on Earth called the “Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital”.

4. Salon devoted several thousand words today to singing the praises of our new First Lady’s butt.  (Best line: “Talk about a power base”)

5. Johnny Rotten has a new paying gig.

Enjoy.

    oh, I get the cute, just like this one.

    It’s just that Lieberman deserves the 1984 rodent in the face cage treatment.

    But I’m not bitter.

    “that’s not the only thing going on in the world today..”

    sigh…..nice try, but it’ll never wash. We’re finished, kaput, stick a fork in us done. Survived 8 years of rethuglican murder, rape, robbery and pillaging……wars, tanked economy, trashed planet, shredding of the Constitution…..Then there was that brief glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel that we THOUGHT we saw two weeks ago today, but it turned out to be a mirage. Obama Shmobama. [laughing bitterly]

    Howl howl howl! O you are men of stone! Joe Lieberman keeps his chairmanships! We are plunged forever unto eternal darkness!! [Wailing and gnashing of teeth.]

    (Now that you mention it though, I loved that article about Michelle’s butt.)

    Certainly headed into “pissed off base” region, tho a lot of good that will do.

    Yeah, he doesn’t think we’re base, but we are.

    How to Tell if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You

    Oh, litbrit, thank you for that link. Hilarious. And, there is something cosmic about this. I had written a kitty post for tomorrow, but went ahead and put it up, so that you could read. It’s the text that matters. twolf’s comments (which he sent me way back when) cracked me up. The cat wasn’t trying to kill me, but as twolf suggested, she probably would have eaten me, if I was the next available meal.
