“But I do know that it’s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down,” – Former Education Secretary William Bennett

Quite honestly I’m speechless. I’m quite sure Alexander Pope is somewhere in a gaseous form (or if you’re a conservative Republican – rotting in the 7th layer of the Inferno) laughing his ass off.

While I support everyone’s right to have an opinion, racial slurs are an exception. Especially by rich white men (who seem to corner the market in inappropriate xenophobic slander) who’ve never been a victim of prejudice – why- because they have no idea what it’s like to live in skin of a different colour in a society which deems what colour your hair, eyes and skin tone and body shape should be (blond, blue, white, emaciated with big tits), have no idea what it’s like to be spit on, have no idea what it’s like to have people look at you in fear even though all you’ve done is sit down in the only empty seat on the Muni, have no idea what it feels like to overhear degrading comments about you and what you look like.

But I’m sure what all his friends were really concerned about was who will sell them their crack if all the black people are dead?

I’m going to have to side with the cat and vote for mandatory spay/neuter programs for bigots.

Thanks Puggyspice!

Come home early to feed me!

Sniffle – I’m so proud of them.

Last night the fluffies and I decided to test the M.E.O.W. (Mommy Emergency On-call Wake-up) System based on Timmy’s recent adventure. We tried with all our might to get the mommy up every hour last night. We were very successful. Full report below:

11:30pm – Action: Sophia jumped on mom Result: Instant wake up
12:30am – Action: Orlando chomp Mom’s toe Result: Instant wake up
1:30am – Action: Fiona hop on Mom’s bladder Result: Instant wake up
2:30am – Action: Sophia singing at the top of her lungs Result: Mom snoring
3:30am – Action: Orlando and Fiona performing the Bunny 500 on Mom’s bed Result: Instant wake up
4:30am – Action: Sophia cleaning Mom’s face with Turkey breath Result: Instant wake up
5:30am – Action: Sophia stick whiskers up Mom’s nose Result: Instant wake up & breakfast crunchies!

Results – physical pain works best. We are now prepared for future emergencies. This concludes this test of the M.E.O.W. System.

The Cat, Orlando and I are thrilled to be a link on the BBC. Mom spends countless hours on the Yank version – Binkies all around.

So what’s the point of blogging?

Why do you blog? A question that’s asked both in a nice way and in a way which often means “what on earth possesses to you to write for no money and, probably, no readers?”.

Supervision. It’s a tough job but some cat’s got to do it!

I don’t care what time your flight came in.

…of Mom’s house as she knew it! She left us AGAIN! We could tell because she filled up the bowl with pellets, we never get pellets AND Sophia got a full bowl of crunchies. Her baseboards and carpet are so toast. Sophia just went to poop on her pillow.
