Four reasons my cat will never win a Nobel

1. Her name isn’t Doris Lessing, it’s Hubcap.
2. She can kill people by shooting death rays out of her eyeballs and hasn’t once hesitated to use that power. (Note to self: Don’t forget to take out the plumber.)
3. Her brain is approximately the size of a lima bean.
4. She once dated Åke Altéus, Deputy Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation, and the relationship ended bitterly (she tried to kill Altéus with her eyeballs).

This is my first visit to your blog and I LOVE it! Very funny and clever. I chose this thread to comment on because I have a demonic cat as well. I would swear that she is autistic, if cats can be autistic. Whenever I pick her up in an attempt to show affection, she gazes steadily over my shoulder, across the room, or at the ceiling, making her body rigid and sticking her legs out so I can’t cuddle her. I call her Bitchkitty.

I’m also a music fan and like the links you’ve posted. Two of my teenage sons are DJs at their respective colleges and they feed me all sorts of good stuff.

Donnah, thanks for the kind words and for stopping by.  Please return!

And, like your sons, I was a DJ in college, too (University of CT), but many, many years ago.

Thanks for the welcome!

I became “politically aware” relatively late in life. I was never outspoken about politics or current world issues until after I had kids and realized that the world is in our hands. When Bush won the first time, I cried. When he won the second time, I was physically sick for a week. And now I read dozens of blogs, my husband is a member of a group for truth in media, and we both are outspoken, anti-Bush fanatics.

I will share your blog with my friends (I do have a couple) and get the word out. Your blog is diverse and funny and deserves exposure. If we can’t laugh at the stuff going on now, we’ll all go insane.

Hey Donnah, great to have you and thanks for the recommending Rumproast to your friends.

I was “politically aware” in college and co-hosted a political/humor talk show on the college station where we lambasted Reagan and, every now and then, Joe Lieberman (yes, I was ahead of the curve on him—he was CT’s Attorney General at the time).

I distanced myself from politics post-college, for the most part, until 9/11 and what I saw as a drift toward some pretty scary maneuvering on the part of the Bush admin. I guess you could say I had adopted a post-9/11 mindset, but in the “wrong” direction.  ;)
