Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... a Valentine kitty from the warmest state right now.

Where's The Snow? On The Ground In 49 Of 50 States

Happy Friday everybody... make the best of what you've got on this Valentine's Day.

Pricey Dud

CNN: Michelle Obama's 'Dress Probably Cost Around $12,000'"

How can such a pricey outfit look so darned bad?

Is it just me?

Let Them Eat Fancy Dogfood

What do the low information voters think of this?

Stunning Insensitivity From Michelle Obama

Ummm, I guess not much ;-)

Girafficide

Danish Zookeepers Kill Baby Giraffe Then Fed Him To The Lions

I've taken enough biology classes to understand the need for culling a herd, preventing genetic inbreeding, and all the excuses given by the Copenhagen Zoo.

What I don't understand is the dismemberment of a giraffe IN FRONT OF A CROWD INCLUDING MANY CHILDREN and then feeding the parts to the lions.

What were they thinking?

Our Dot In The Sky

Curiosity Rover Takes Snapshot Of Earth -- From Over 350 Million Away On Mars

Cool!

First Word

What do you see?

Realistic?

Realistic Statue Of Man In His Underwear At Wellesley College Sparks Controversy

This statue is threatening the girls of Wellesley?

Really?

We're not all married to John Stamos.

You girls need to grow up and stop being such drama queens.

Smokin'

Study: Third-Hand Smoke Exposure As Deadly As Smoking

Holy moly!

Did you know that living is hazardous to your health?

Super Bomb

When bad things happen, my first inclination is to think they happened in Florida. Thankfully, this did not...

Super Bowl 2014 Moments

*whew*

This is one on you, Jersey.

Shuttle Columbia

Eleven years ago today, my husband and I were watching the Columbia's approach to Earth and I ran outside to wait for the sonic boom as it passed over Florida. I waited and waited. After a while, I realized something was wrong. Finally I ran inside and the look on my husband's face said it all.

Shuttle Columbia's Demise 11 Years Ago Today

Cat Blog Friday

For this Chinese New Year Cat Blog Friday...

... a Chinese cat.

Chinese New Year 2014: In With The Horse, Out With The Snake

Hmm, the year of the horse... mayhaps that foretells a victory for the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl?

I'm betting on it.

Happy Friday everybody!

Nature: Red In Tooth And Claw

Birds Of Pray: Doves Released In The Vatican As A Gesture Of Peace Are Immediately ATTACKED By Vicious Seagull And Crow

Were those attacking birds members of the "religion of peace"? I'm just asking...

Cold Dobie Woes

A Cool Friday, But A Slight Warm Up For The Weekend

Our Doberman will be happy... she hasn't let us take off her coat in over a week. Her teeth chatter as much as mine

:-)

Shattered Cube

Oh-so-cool Apple's Iconic Glass Cube Store SHATTERS In The New York Cold

I want to say something like, "Oh, the humanity", but it would sound trite so I decided to refrain.

Jonathan Livingston Not Allowed

A rebel.

:-)

The Blue Dress

OK, I meant to post this yesterday...

This Day In History: Drudge Report Breaks The Monica Lewinsky Scandal

Can you believe it's been 16 years since The Drudge Report broke the story of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky?

Time is fleeting.

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

... an homage to Gilligan's Island with cats on a three hour tour.

Happy Friday everybody!

Russell Johnson 1924 - 2014

I was saddened to hear this news today:

'Gilligan's Island' Star Russell Johnson Dies Of Kidney Failure

The Professor was always my favorite character on Gilligan's Island.

R.I.P.

Clean Dishes?

This Self-Cleaning Plate May Mean You'll Never Have To Do The Dishes

OK, reading this I was brought back to an old post... Can Cold Water Clean Dishes?

I think I prefer hot water.

Texting

Texting Allegedly Triggers Movie Theater Shooting By Retired Police Captain

Really?

I think a retired police captain should know better.

419.99 Is The New 420

Colorado Replaces 420 Mile Marker With 419.99 To Thwart Thieves

Now that marijuana is legal in many states and on its way to becoming legal nationwide, we should fear a bigger danger...

A New Gateway Drug: Puffer Fish

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday...

only a fat cat will do.

I'm not a fan of Chris Christie, but I don't think he deserves the level of scrutiny for this traffic debacle. Barry O and his administration have a lot more to answer for yet all we hear is crickets from the MSM.

Nets Give 'Bridgegate' 17 Times More Coverage In 1 Day Than IRS Scandal In 6 Months

Happy Friday, everybody... at least it's warmer.

Fracking Lies

'Of Course Fracking Doesn't Cause Your Sex To Change' Writes Jane Delingpole

The writer, James Delingpole, is just being cheeky with the title, but his piece is spot on regarding the hysteria of the left when it comes to the "the ideological war being waged by the green-liberal-left against Western Industrial Civilisation."

Short, but sweet.

Information Overload

What The Color Of Your Urine Says About You:
Color, Density, And Smell Can Reveal Health Problems

OK, this is an interesting, but delicate subject, so don't feel like you have to give too much information in your comments ;-)

Oh Fuuuuudge!

New Hampshire Girl, 12, Gets Tongue Stuck To Flag Pole After Licking It During Blizzard

The poor thing was stuck for 15 minutes before she was freed.

No, she never saw "A Christmas Story".

Real Florida Snowbird

Some uplifting news on this "Blue Monday":

Rare Snowy Owl Snowbird Graces Little Talbot Island, Florida

It's on vacation.

:-)

Cat Blog Friday

For this Cat Blog Friday which also happens to be my birthday...

... what better than a birthday kitty with an attitude.

I'd wish you all a happy Friday, but I'm always grumpy on my birthday, so have a mediocre Friday today ;-)

Reconquista

Today Is The Anniversary Of The Fall Of Moorish Spain.

522 years later and it still feels good.

Get the heck out of Dodge.

Martian Bonus

Winnipeg Deep Freeze As Cold As Uninhabited Planet

-31 degrees in Winnepeg

-28 degrees on Mars

... really?

Post-O-Mayor

Bloomberg Reflects On Final Day As Mayor: ‘I’m Looking Forward To Tomorrow’

Don't let the door catch you on the way out.
