Nick and I were talking - well, truth be told - Nick was talking, I was listening.
When he gets going the guy can’t stop talking. And it always starts, “You know cat, I’ve been thinking…”.
And there goes half my day as I politely pretend to listen to him pontificate. I’ve mastered the art of sleeping with my eyes open, giving the impression that I am actually paying attention.
Damn two legs, you guys never know when to shut up. Cats just say what needs to be said and we stop. Oh, I know you’ve all heard cats yowling for extended periods, usually in the middle of night as you attempt to get a good night’s sleep, but the yowling usually involves something sexual. We’re not proud of it. It is a force of nature of which we have no control.
But it is seasonal. Similar to the Vulcans for all you Star Trek fans. Mr. Spock and his periodic lust - pon farr - every seven years. Sounds like my last marriage. But that was nothing to do with biological cycles – she simply hated my guts.
Anyway - modern America - an attempted coup d'état, (with doubtlessly more on the way), teachers on their hands and knees grabbing at money for student school lunches, textbooks and pencils ala SQUID GAME, state governors usurping federal powers, gerrymandering as a state past-time, an anti-science, anti-civil rights Supreme Court that appears to totally misunderstand the Second Amendment, and is being driven by church doctrine and payola to rid the nation of the scourge of women wanting control over their own bodies. The will of a minority of the wealthy and an election ploy.
BTW - how did Kavanaugh miraculously come away debt-free after his appointment to the bench?
I’m just a cat, but even I can see that this is not the America in which the majority of Americans grew up.
Nor is it the America that the rest of the world respects and looks to for guidance.
Now back to my original thought - if you were in another country, reading this news or watching it on TV - would you think that you were seeing news from America?
