And so the government limps along, not being able to be effective, and the same Republicans who cause the problem claim -- without admitting they caused it -- that it's proof that government is ineffective.
Sheesh.

All-Time Obstructionism
I knew the Republicans in Congress were doing all they could to block presidential nominees, but holy crap!!

Sheesh.

More Childish Childhood Memories
Remember LPs? Records?
I know all of you do.
When I was a kid, I used to listen to records all the time. My parents' and my "own" (I didn't buy them , and many of them were a part of the household before I even came along, but as my sibs were all muuch older [or so it seemed at the time] than me, the records were mine). So at a young age I was well-versed in The Sons of the Pioneers, Harry Belafonte, Bing Crosby -- and lots of the Walt Disney records.
Which brings us to tonight's memory:
Kipling's Just So Stories, read by the inimitable Sterling Holloway (who was also the voice of Pooh Bear).
Can't you just hear him saying "the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River"?

| Guard Kitteh -- "protecting" the front step |
 |
| Carred Kitteh - Raxi likes to be in the car, as long as two conditions are met. 1) no one else is in the car and, 2) the engine isn't running... because if those two things happen, that means she's going to the place with the metal table and the man who pokes and prods at her. Kitteh no like that. |

One Years Ago
A year ago today, I got a kitteh:
Look how much smaller I am now:
Oh, wait. I guess it's Raxacoricofallapatorius has gotten bigger.
Happy Raxi Day*, everyone!
(*aka, my birthday)
