So Much Silliness!

Hello my dear friends!  I just love a good catnip buzz early in the morning. It just makes dealing with Goobers so much easier and, let's face it, this world has been overrun by Goobers!  Today's Goober is Professor John Banzhaf, a law professor at George Washington University. He has filed a Human Rights complaint (two actually) against Washington D.C.'s Catholic University of America stating that Muslim students are being discriminated against. From the Washington Post:

The official allegations claim that CUA, “does not provide space – as other universities do – for the many daily prayers Muslim students must make, forcing them instead to find temporarily empty classrooms where they are often surrounded by Catholic symbols which are incongruous to their religion.” 

Are you scratching your head too?  So, to be clear, students (I assume voluntarily) attending the Catholic University of America are somehow surprised and offended that they are surrounded by Catholic symbols. A law professor is somehow shocked that the Catholic University of America doesn't have a Mosque? Gee, I wonder how many Muslim schools have the Virgin Mary in their in-school chapels? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Professor Banzhaf also filed a human rights complaint against CUA challenging their same sex dorms.  Apparently that is sex discrimination. That case has been tossed out on the grounds that, well, it's just plain goofy. I don't believe the former case has much merit either but, hey, you never know. The world is full of Goobers!

Oh What a Party!

Hello People.  Well, the captors threw my annual Birthday Bash this weekend. What a time it was. All the people, all the food, all the NOISE!  I skipped most of it. Do you know what it's like to be a kitty in a room full of humans! My tail was in jeopardy the entire time. I'm not sure what time they left but when I came down,, Yikes! What a mess!

I'm talking full blown disaster area! What we're they thinking!

It took them all morning to clean it up and, for some reason, they were moving pretty slowly. They kept sitting down and moaning. It was very strange.  Anyway, a good time was apparently had by all. At least it sounded to me like a good time was being had by all. We'll have to wait and see if the captors are a little more perky today!

Seriously People!

Hello my dear friends! I know, as people, you sometimes over react to the silliest things.  You can't help yourselves, you're "human". But this goes beyond silly (even for humans). A 9 year old North Carolina boy was suspended from school for 2 days for sexual harassment after a substitute teacher overheard him tell another student that he thought one of his teachers was "cute". That's right. A nine year old boy was overheard telling another 9 year old boy that he thought one of his teachers was "cute" and he was suspended for SEXUAL HARASSMENT!  I feel quite comfortable in saying that this world has GONE MAD! He never approached the teacher in question; never spoke to her; just told a friend what he thought and was suspended for it.  Here's a link to the article: Click Here.  I have never been to Brookside Elementary School in Gastonia, North Carolina, but I suspect their library may be in need of a dictionary! Regardless, it got me to thinking. This is a new world we live in and people are a little, well, nuts.  So I've compiled a short list of 5 things you, as humans, should no longer say to each other, in order to protect yourselves from possible legal action in the future.
1) "Hello"; "Hey"; "Hi" or any other type of open-ended greeting.  This could be construed as an attempt to engage the unsuspecting person in unwanted conversation, which could then lead to verbal harassment.
2) "What time is it?"  Clearly this could be misinterpreted as a backhanded way of implying that you want to have sex with that individual.  Why else would you want to know how long you have?!?!?!
3) "I beg your pardon".  Clearly you're begging for sex! How could you! You Pig!
4) "Is it hot enough/cold enough for you"?  Please! Obviously you just want to get in my fur!  SECURITY!
5) "How about those Buffalo Bills"? There are no sexual implications here, it's just sad.
So people, when in doubt use my simple NSATAEA approach:
Never Say Anything To Anyone Ever Again!  Thank goodness for Facebook.  Oh wait, Facebook!  Are you a stalker?  You must be a stalker.  Why else would you bring up Facebook?

Dear Santa...A little Help Please

Dear Santa Paws,

I certainly don't want to tell you how to do your job. I know you've been at it a long time and are doing the best you can. But, in case you're not sure what to bring the Buffalo Bills for Christmas (Obviously our pleas for a playoff berth were beyond your ability) I have a simple suggestion for a stocking stuffer

Thank you for your time.
Much Love

Deck the Halls!

Hello people.  The process of decorating for my annual Birthday celebration has begun!  Soon the entire prison will be aglow with lights, shiny baubles and bells, a big tree and so much more. Once everything is in it's place, I will, as always, begin destroying it! Hey, it's how I roll.

First I pull the little ornaments off and toss the around the room.  That's Awesome!

Then I open some of their pretty little packages to see what's inside.  I also like to play with the little bows!

What fun! And, we're just getting started! I know what you're thinking. 'Gee, it's a little early, isn't it?' Well, the captors throw a little shindig on the second Friday in December so the prison has to be ready. This year there's a "Buffalo Bills Shrine" in the bathroom (where it belongs) and some much more. I'll keep you posted as the countdown to my Birthday progresses!

Scary Words Indeed

Hello my dear friends. As many of you know, because of my diabetes, I spend a lot of time at the torture chamber known as The Vet's Office. I used to think the scariest words known to Cat were "We're going for a ride in the car" or "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you".  I was wrong.  My hero, Ronald Reagan once said "the 9 most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'." That's certainly has to be in the top 10! The way the world is changing, it got me to thinking (and hopefully you too) about which phrases make my ears perk today.  Here are my top 5...
#5  Do you smell that?
#4  I was watching Fox News today...
#3  People say I'm easily excited
#2  You call that a fire?
AND, The Number One Scariest Phrase today is.......

Ladies and Gentlemen, Justin Bieber!

Let the Season Begin!

Hello my dear friends! The preparations for the Christmas season have begun! The BEST part of Christmas at this prison is all of the cool new places to nap! This cloud-like stuff is popping up everywhere. I don't know why they don't use this year round. It rocks!  Soon, the captors will be bringing a LIVE tree right inside.

Trees are great places to hang out.  Ignore the Gnomes (we all do).  And the GIFTS! So many gifts...

It wears me out just thinking about it! I have to enjoy my cloud-like bed while I can because soon (too soon) it will be home to the UGLIEST tree ever!  Seriously.  The captors call it "tacky chic". As a matter of fact, that's pretty much how they describe the entire prison but I digress. This tree is, well...you be the judge!

Yup! As I was saying...
