Itty Bitty Kitty KOMMITTEE

Well tonight I tried three times to catch one more stray. The one I wanted got loose, so did the tuxedo. The third try was successful and now I have a slightly larger smoky grey tiger in the same cage as booby kitty.

They're not killing each other so it's all good.

P.S. I fell in the living room tripping over a small box while carrying new kitty to the bathroom. Ouch. I'm in one piece but I know I'll hurt tomorrow.

How the GOP Became the Party of the Rich

A key element of the GOP's war on the poor was cemented by the surprise election of Scott Brown to replace Ted Kennedy in the Senate in January 2010. As a candidate, Brown had made his high-mileage GMC pickup truck the star of his campaign commercials. "I love this old truck," he said. "It's brought me closer to the people." But Brown's real allegiance was to his wealthy donors: the billionaire Koch brothers, who bankrolled the Tea Party, and the financial interests who made a last-minute investment of more than $450,000 to propel Brown into office.
