Reading this reminded me this morning when I was putting the clothes in the dryer, Meowza stuck his head in. I made sure to gently push him away before closing the door. I’m not that stupid. Now when it came to the dishes, I had to shoo them off the counter before I rinsed them. I have to dry them fast too or the cats walk all over the counter knocking them on the floor. And yes I fed them first. Didn’t work as can be seen.

Psycho Cat demands it. You don’t want her on your doorstep or in your nightmares.

The polls - that’s the news being discussed at Wizbang. FoxNews has it a virtual tie. The only good thing about people predicting a close race is, aside from the obvious ratings boost, maybe more people will get out and vote tomorrow. Legitimate votes that won’t be contested would be nice.

For a good read, check out Sisu’s InstaLanche winning post comparing everyone’s favorite terrorist with everyone’s favorite Liberal loonie. Food for thought.

Sharp as a Marble has the first election lawsuit, will be following this closely to see how it is resolved.

The almighty Glen has a very insightful post about how a free and democratic Iraq will deal the fatal blow to Al Qaida. Diversion indeed!

Dean has an instructive interview with one of the Swift Boat Vets that actually served with Kerry. One wonders how many vets were traumatized, their lives destroyed by Kerry’s actions.

And in non election blogging, Lair is in less than a good mood possibly cause of rain possibly cause peeps aren’t visiting such wonderful places like the DeadPool. Christmas IFOC is coming along nicely. Imagine as the holiday spirit hasn’t hit people yet, they haven’t taken full advantage of his site.

To cheer him up, Richie has the ultimate iPod ad.

From MEMRI is a corrected translation of Osama bin Laden’s taped message. Quoting:

“Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al-Qa’ida. Your security is in your own hands, and any U.S. state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security.”

What this means is vote for Kerry as he won’t fight against Al Qaida. They explain it.

The Islamist website Al-Qal’a explained what this sentence meant: “This message was a warning to every U.S. state separately. When he [Osama Bin Laden] said, ‘Every state will be determining its own security, and will be responsible for its choice,’ it means that any U.S. state that will choose to vote for the white thug Bush as president has chosen to fight us, and we will consider it our enemy, and any state that will vote against Bush has chosen to make peace with us, and we will not characterize it as an enemy. By this characterization, Sheikh Osama wants to drive a wedge in the American body, to weaken it, and he wants to divide the American people itself between enemies of Islam and the Muslims, and those who fight for us, so that he doesn’t treat all American people as if they’re the same. This letter will have great implications inside the American society, part of which are connected to the American elections, and part of which are connected to what will come after the elections.”

Guessing Al Qaida has been so weakened, best they can do is verbally threaten us. Sure makes for one fine Kerry commercial and it was free. Osama has such name recognition he just has to release the tape.

Note this tape is similar to one a few months ago where he offered a truce to the Euroweenies. Don’t think Al Qaida is getting nice by not attacking. Think stages of jihad explained here and here. Bush’s actions have effectively weakened Al Qaida so they need time to regroup and regain their strength (which they are sure to get under a Kerry Presidency) then watch out.

Again. I had fed the little monsters twice but they insisted, ganging up on me as soon as I went into the kitchen. So in order to be left alone to fix me something, I grabbed a can then a spoon whereupon Izzy made a leap for the counter, missing and falling down into the food dish. Soon as I scooped some in a dish, Keefe gobbled it down. I scooped some into all the dishes and by the time I got to the last two, Keefe ran to it leaving one half empty. One dish got ignored initially which dish Bazel soon found. Three cats descended on the very last dish.

And typically, one cat got left out. This time it was Psycho Cat. And no, I wasn’t going to open another can. Too much canned kitty food leads to gooey poopy.

And as it was very late, approaching Midnight, I didn’t blog about this exciting meal then. All I did was change back to the default theme so peeps could skin the blog as opposed to skinning a cat. Now, back to those sixty plus cat blogs.
