Was looking at the Moosey cats and realized it was Friday and time for some cat blogging. Cats reminded me, all of them - together, I need to get the huge bag of dry cat food out of the car. As I wasn’t up to it, I treated them to two cans of fancy food. They will just have to suffer.

This is Meowza lounging on the table. Mind you, nothing stays on the table for when they take over, everything goes boom.

The definitive instructions for writing a document in Word. Thanks Kevin.

Warning: Drink alert!

Decided to show the pic. (more…)

Lucky Star made me a tag I requested and one look and I had to make a skin with it which will stay or leave depending on her approval. I really have to do something with my tags, I have so many. I need to start creating myself too.

At least I feel a little better, dizziness and nausea have subsided somewhat. Maybe I can get something done now.

Correction: Long as I’m flat, I’m not dizzy but once I get vertical, the dizziness (92/70) returns. Guess I won’t be going far.

Have you ever had a thought that just thinking it totally skeeved you and you wonder how you could ever think such a thing. Well, Lair presents just such a thought.

Naw, the word is “Dukakis.” Course, he could just don that bunny suit. Bet he could get quite kinky in that.

For some reason, probably something I ate, when I got home from the store I became ill. Quite dizzy and quite useless I might add. So I’m not doing much here.

Of course, it might be a delayed reaction to Bill O’Reilly. He has the most annoying guests. Hmmm, idea pit Geraldine Ferraro against Ann Coulter. Sit back and watch the fireworks. Better than trying to listen as they tend to yap incessantly.

Dogs. Yappy little dogs.

I had noticed my blogroll didn’t appear to be updating, well they were updating cause it showed when I mouseovered, but nothing seemed to be recent. I couldn’t be the only person not blogging much. Was the news that dull?

Apparently not. All that is over, the poliblogs seem to be alive this morning with lots of posting. Posting about…

forged documents, forged documents, forged documents, forged documents, forged documents, forged documents…

Need I say more. CBS needs to clean house. Retire Rather.

W stands for Women and there is now a site just for that. And just what is W? This.

W Stands for Women is a national grassroots effort designed to mobilize support for President Bush and organize women to:

Communicate the President’s vision to move America forward;
Engage in the political process by volunteering for the President’s campaign;
Recruit more women to support the President.

And here you thought W stood for Wictory Wednesday. Speaking of which, you can still volunteer to the Bush campaign. (more…)

So I finally turned on the TV and lo and behold the fake memo story has finally gotten to FoxNews. A quote here from RatherBiased.com.

That may well be the case but it is becoming increasingly evident that 60 Minutes, and the Dan Rather, the reporter behind the story, may have been relying on forged documents to prove their case.

Several indicators point to this conclusion including the fact that the four memoranda, which Rather said were written during the early 1970s by Bush’s commanding officer Lt. Colonel Jerry Killian, are printed in a proportionally spaced type style similar to the common computer font Times New Roman. But such computer technology had not even been invented when the documents were allegedly written.

The article goes into great detail debunking the memo, worth a read. Or you could read Jay who is having much fun with this. For a complete rundown on the story, no one beats Allah. My favorite quote here.

What does it all mean? Maybe not much more than that the authentic memo was typed on one typewriter and the 60 Minutes memos typed on another . . . which was somehow configured to reproduce a font that didn’t exist yet.

What does this all show? People will do anything to get rid of Bush. Now the question I have is why now? Why not back in 2000 when Bush was running for office? Seems if there were something to this, it would have come out long before now. Eediots!

Laying here half awake half asleep trying to decide what to do. Finally set on checking out Ivan the terrible and associated story on CNN quoting here.

With just a few hours to go before the Category 4 storm hits land, panic buying has made for some long lines in Kingston.

More than 1,000 shelters have been opened, and the head of the country’s Center for Disaster Preparedness, Barbara Carby, said up to 500,000 people could be asked to evacuate low-lying areas in the country of 2.7 million.

Ivan’s forecast path puts the storm over Jamaica by Friday night, and it is then expected to move toward the Cayman Islands and Cuba before possibly reaching the Florida Keys on Monday afternoon.

Jamaicans to prepare for “the worst-case scenario” as Ivan heads their way.

Hurricane season is an annual thing and it behooves people to stock up, be prepared. I remember as a child, soon as we got the warning, bringing anything capable of blowing around inside. Mom had a room in the cellar which was like a small grocery store with a whole wall of canned goods and a well stocked freezer. Always had a stock of kerosene lamps at the ready too. It was amusing that we were the only one prepared too. You’d think the neighbors would learn, but no, they didn’t. Note, we were sufficiently inland that evacuating wasn’t an issue.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 50 miles (85 km) from the center of the storm and tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km), meaning Ivan will start impacting Jamaica by mid-morning.

Guessing I should turn on the news here to see how it blows.

By Thursday evening, the storm had lessened slightly in intensity, dropping from Category 5 to Category 4 after its winds decreased by about 10 mph. Mayfield said fluctuations are typical, and Ivan will retain much of its punch over the next three days.

Still dangerous thou I expect it to lose some steam when it passes over Jamaica and Cuba, Ivan’s likely targets. Irregardless of Category, if it hits Florida, it won’t be good. Guessing Florida is pretty soaked by now from Charley and Frances. Don’t need another hurricane.
