I am quite happy with the security offered by my fierce and vigilant watchkitty.
Shortly after this tranquil scene, I exercised her by running the Roomba vacuum cleaner, her mortal enemy.

Free entertainment….
You can take your DVD player and put it in the closet. All you need for an hour’s entertainment is a housecat and a Roomba vacuum cleaner….
Oh, by the way… Gay!
On the Senator Larry Craig thing…
D*mn! Another one bites the dust!
I got news for you. If you’re caught trolling in mens’ rooms for sex, I don’t CARE if you say you’re gay or not.
Yes, there’s a double standard here. I cannot countenance the hypocrisy. Yes, I get mad as hell that the media will continually forgive any transgression by a dimmocrat and pounce on a republican parking ticket. That’s why the media fawns over Teddy Kennedy talking about drowning victims and we conservatives run to the bathroom gagging…
But you know what? This ol’ Cajun WANTS his representatives to represent the HIGHEST standard of decency, not the lowest common denominator.
If you’re going to contrive to present yourself as a man of “family values” and you’re Republican, then you better d&mned sure be dotting your “i’s” and crossing your “t’s” because, in case you’re not wise to the fact, the liberal media is WATCHING you.
If you think you can get away with fooling around and playing a rousing game of “hide the pickle” with some fudge-packer you’ve scored in the airport men’s room, know that as soon as he finds out who you are, he KNOWS he has just punched his ticket for big rewards as soon as he can get to a telephone with his story. Larry Flynt even PUBLISHES the fact that he has monetary rewards waiting for anyone to ‘out’ a conservative.
So all the rest of you bozos who think you’ve hidden YOUR skeletons in a particularly clever closet, I figure that the Left’s minions already know about YOU and you’re just on a list so they can roll out a new scandal involving a “family values” conservative every month or six weeks from now until the 2008 election. Yep! You been saying one thing in public and doing another in private, SOMEBODY ALREADY KNOWS and they’re waiting to spread you on the front page.
And me, imperfect (but waaay heterosexual) as my life may be, I will look at you and ask myself the question:Â If this guy will sell out his family for a quickie, what keeps him from selling out his other beliefs?
I’m getting tired of this crap!
Who’s been sleeping in MY bed?
So I roll out of be this morning, go about my normal Sunday morning routine, then go back into the bedroom to tidy up, and THIS is what I see:
You will note the slightly peeved expression on her kitty face after I deigned to disturb her nap…
The Name Game #111
This is the first morning in months that the temperature outside actually dipped into the lower seventies, 73 degrees to be exact. Walking outside to get the Sunday paper was actually pleasant. Now I’m sitting here enjoying a delightful cup of coffee, this one from Papua-New Guinea, roasted a couple of days ago, ground this morning, and brewed in a vacuum pot. I love my morning coffee.
Passing through the pages of the morning paper, I wade through the articles telling em what wonderful things are being achieved with my tax dollars by my government, and I read the breathless articles touting the opening of football season. It never ceases to amaze me that the same bunch who can’t seem to get consistent with graduating high school students who can read, write and do basic math can manage to field fully-suited, well-coached footballs teams. But I digress…
This morning’s paper reports the births from two of the larger hospitals across the river from me. Together they report 87 births between Aug. & and Aug.28, Thirty-six of these newborns won the race, being born before mommy and daddy decided to get married. Nine of the new mommies got no baby daddy listed.
We have a few of the “where’s you get THAT name?” variety:
Miss Santana D. presents her new daughter, little Malaysia Alanna. She must have walked by a world map on her way to the hospital. Maybe she was USING that map to find the baby daddy…
William & Janica T. present their new baby girl, Kiera Vivian. Why Keira? Because they CAN.
Ronnie A. & Melonie L. celebrate their Scottish roots by tagging their new daughter with MaKenzie Shea.
Anita G. & Shaun R. have a new son, little Maximos Charles.
Christie B. has a new son, presenting us with little Maalik Marquese. I may need Maalox. This one is another for the Hillary!’s village to raise. No baby daddy listed here.
We have several folks who think that it’s a perfectly good thing to spell a baby’s name any ol’ goofy way they can come up with…
Tyler & Bridgette S. like the letter “e”, so when they had a baby girl, they hung a few “e’s” on her, little Sophee Claire.
Kelsey R. & Samantha M. have a new baby girl, and they picked out a couple of good names for her, then screwed with the spelling to show their sophistication, bringing us little Abbigail Elizebeth.
Miss Kasey D. presents her new daughter, little Jaydah Mychelle. One name contrived, one name misspelled, one baby daddy missing.
Marilyn P. & James H. have a new daughter too, little Victoria Biatrice. What was sooo wrong with “Beatrice”?
We have a few folks who thought that there was reason enough to hang three given name son their offspring:
Mr. & Mrs. Dustin F. name their new son Cameron James-David.
Miss Tonisha T. presents us with her contribution to the population, little MaLayja LaNae Pauline. Good! Three names, five capital letters. And no baby daddy.
Mr. & Mrs. Calvin M. present their new son, little Matthew Francis Chad.
Devin C. & Jason B. have a new daughter, little Lauryn Aleyia Jean.
Miss Tiffany L. & Mr. John W. have a new daughter and they gave her a mile of names: Abbiegail Cadence Bryleigh. That’s twenty-four letters worth of names…
And lastly, we come to that segment of society that seems to think that 26 letters of the alphabet do not allow them to fully convey their sophistication, enthusiasm and possibly vocalization of the names of their new offspring, so they throw in a little skillful punctuation:
Tommie & Wyneeshia M. pop out a new daughter and tag her with Ta’Meyia Mariya. I guess if momma’s name is “Wyneeshia”, them “Ta’Miya” isn’t totally unexpected.
Christina W. has a new daughter, little Chryse’Era Marie. Me, I think that’s pretty darned good, making up a name with two “e’s” and then separating them with an apostrophe and THEN capitalizing one. I’m sure the little girl’s teachers will congratulate the mommy on her excellent taste in names. Oh, in all the excitement, she forgot to list the father’s name…
Miss Pamela M. has a new son, little Ralphe’lle James. Question? Do you think she was actually trying to spell “Raphael” and just went terribly wrong? Or do you think this is intentional? And you YOU know where the baby daddy is for this one?
Miss Kariana R. has a new daughter, little Ka’lani Alise. And no baby daddy.
Alicia G. & Jason S. have a new son, little Tylon Tre’von.
Mr. & Mrs. Jason G. present their baby girl, little Be’yonca Desira.
This is one of those weeks, folks, where there IS a name that stands TALL above the crowd, a name that I want to single out and present as the name of the week. Here it is!
Shaloa G. and Rayzel J. conspire to present us with their new daughter, little Zi’Reyla Jhaniaya ShaRay. Now, starting right off, I can’t figure out who’s the mommy and who’s the daddy from THEIR names, and then they tag this poor child with a name that will be an albatross around her neck for life. Twenty-one letters, five capitals, and an apostrophe! And imagine you’re the poor teacher and you get a piece of paper with this name on it. Do you have any clue as to how to pronounce it? We won’t even talk about prospective employers…
So that’s the end of this week, people! And to the proud parents of Michael and Paul and Luke and Katherine and to the Hispanic couple who named their son “Angel”, a perfectly valid Hispanic name, I say “thank you”… Have a good week!
