I thought we’d do a headline day today just for fun. First up USPS cuts Saturday delivery now you’ll have mail those checks earlier (yeah right ) next now this one is important the new Monopoly piece is a cat (once again cats rule) next Betty White turns 91 (OK that’s cool) couple wins lottery twice in same weekend (and they insist it’s not fixed) now here is one that goes under the heading who cares Amazing abs of music stars (they’re all airbrushed pics so who cares) next who Is Justin Bieber kissing (knowing him probably himself) . Here’s a WTF one man blames aliens for DUI ( Not bad but WTF) and man shoots himself in groin with flare gun (Guess he’s a little hot down there now) lightening blows breasts of statue now this is really a WTF. Gina the chimp is addicted to porn (you can’t make this stuff up). All the above stories were taken from the headlines so I ask as a Intelligent cat WTF is going on with the humans CIAO.

You humans really say and do some strange things take for instance the story of a 5 year old child being held hostage in a bunker by a disturbed man. Now the law enforcement people got the child out ,after five days, safe and sound and the first thing you guys do is say what took so long , you should put sleeping gas in, you should of dug him out. The FBI that seems to have been in charge has been criticized for acting too fast for taking armed action rather than waiting for the suspect to get tired and surrender. There is no right answer only wrong ones to this type of situation, but the way I look at my only concern would have been get the kid out alive and well if you have to snake up on the guy and cut his throat I’m fine with that. I don’t care if he’s suffering from PTSD or his father beat him. Hostage situations are very delicate things and they have a tendency to end badly, so when one comes out OK people should say great job thank God the kid is safe and let it go at that. Now I’ve said my piece now it time for you to give me yours and remember I’m just a cat.

Well it’s Monday Super-Bowl Sunday has come and gone, the game started slow looked like a blow out then finished up pretty exciting. If I or Jeff were betting people we would have lost money, not because we didn’t pick a winner (Jeff has picked 45 of 47 winners) but we wouldn’t have covered the spread. When the Raven punter ran out of the end zone he made the San Francisco betters all winners and you could hear Raven fans screaming fix. I don’t know if the game was fixed or not, it certainly is a possibility given the investigations into European soccer, you’d have to say anything was possible. The half time show was a complete let down from the pregame festivities featuring Jennifer Houston sing America the Beautiful with the Sandy Hook Chorus and then Alicia Keys singing the National Anthem. Beyonce should have gave up after she got caught lip sinking to the National Anthem at the Presidents Inauguration. A half naked woman doing a dance routine in front of a paid audience just doesn’t do it for me or Jeff says this was one of the worst shows he’s seen and he has seen them all. I asked if this was the best game he had ever watched and he said no the San Francisco Cincinnati game with the Joe Montana comeback with lees then 2 min was the best. I then asked him what was the best Half Time show he ever saw, he said that was hard because he doesn’t remember all of them but he said U2 And the who were too of his favorites. Well American Football is officially over coming up is Colombian soccer with the boys favorite teams Nacional and Medellin. There is also the Championship series starting up again at the end of the month and of course American basketball both College and pro followed by Baseball so it won’t be a dull sports time. I just hope Jeff doesn’t forget he has a book to finish in the mean time I’m going to get some rest CIAO

Super- bowl Sunday and the world stops to watch this is something I really don’t understand. This Sunday phenom has me completely baffled it has become the second biggest party day after New Year’s Eve and if you’ve ever been to a Super- Bowl party you know you really can’t watch the game and by half time most people are too drunk to try. Millions of dollars are bet on ridicules things such as what player will wave and say high mom to the camera first or what rating the new commercials will get. I think this whole thing is out of hand as for the game itself only a few could be classified as great most of the really good games are in the playoffs. Well I better go and get some rest Jeff has invited a couple relatives over to watch the game with him not sure if anyone will make it but it’s better to be safe than sorry CIAO.

Today I decided to do a little variation of my headline news and instead ask you if you care about this stupid stuff that they use to fill in space on a news channel. Do you care that Beyonce lip synced her Star Spangle Banner performance or that Phil Michelson didn’t break 59 on the golf course. They had a survey on Yahoo the other day that asked do you care how much your co-workers are making. Do you care that Demi Moore has a hot dress or that Paris Hilton and her boyfriend are in Spain at a fashion show. Do you care that the state of Alaska is giving away a 78 million dollar ferry or who has the most famous legs of all time or that Steven Tyler showed up on American Idol in drag. Does any of this stuff interest you if you all said no then somebody is lying why else do you think they put this useless crap in the middle of a news site personally I don’t know and I don’t care, but after all I’m just a cat CIAO.

Ok no more weird stuff today let’s talk about all the violence I the world today. Now I’m going to talk about the violence to animals and humans first humans you guy are going completely nuts just look around first people are shooting up schools and offices because thing aren’t going well for them so now there’s a cry for more laws about guns. The NRA claims that any ban is in violation of the second amendment which they say allows the people to keep arms so that they can protect themselves from other people or the government. Ok I get they want make sure the country doesn’t turn into a police state there solution is armed guard everywhere now as I see it, and remember I’m only a cat, that sounds like a police state only difference the people with the guns aren’t called police they’re called armed security. OK let’s say we just ban what they refer to as assault weapons and large capacity ammo clips here again the NRA says people have the right to protect themselves. From what a full scale invasion that’s what I pay taxes for to maintain an army so I don’t have to out and be shot at, and there’s no other good reason to have an ar15 with a 30 round clip. You’re not going to tell me you need to hunting, if it takes that many rounds to bring down your target, your obviously a lousy shot and aren’t hunting for food. I know this is going to piss off all the gun advocates but remember one thing I’m not saying ban guns just use a little common sense. As for those of you that like to torture animals well you need to seek some serious help. It is a proven fact that torturing and killing animals a t a young age is a symptom of a serial killer in the making or a pyromaniac. One thing that keeps me loving Jeff is that when he walks down the street he won’t just walk by someone beating an animal or a little child and speaking of children I really can’t discuss pedophiles they just make me too crazy when I think about them and Jeff starts beating on the computer keys so we try to do what we can to stop that kind of violence. I could go on and on and if I let Jeff get started it would turn into another book and a book length rant by him is just something I don’t want to think about mine is bad enough so remember the weekend is almost here I’ll be back tomorrow CIAO.

From the response that I got to yesterday’s blog it would appear you guys like it when I ask the ridiculous questions, so today lets discuss this. Is there intelligent life out there? Well first we have to define out there do we mean out in the yard, out of the state or out in space. Now here’s something I just thought who decided what out meant maybe it means I’m hungry or late for work and along those lines what outing somebody mean, if we take the current definition of out does that mean we just shoved someone out the door? Getting back to the beginning of this blog what does intelligent mean and who decided it would mean that. Look at all the languages we have who decides what words mean when we translate them to other languages and if there is other life “out there” will our words mean the same to them. What if saying hello is a insult to someone from Venus. As you can see this can get very stupid and very complicated but it is fun and us cats like fun we also know all the secrets CIAO

Today is Tuesday and tomorrow is Wednesday now I have to ask you who made up these rules and are they sure tomorrow is Wednesday. I mean think about it maybe if you did some math factored in leap years maybe today is Sunday and Tomorrow is Monday and who selected the order for the days and months why wasn’t Wed. first how did it get in the middle and is Saturday the last day or is Sunday and why are there only seven days in a week why not eight like the Beatles said. I don’t have any of these answers and quite frankly I don’t give a dam I just want to eat when the sun comes up and goes down the rest of this philosophic crap is just here to make people go crazy. Now that you guys have these unanswerable questions to ponder I am going to take a nap after all I’m just a cat CIAO

I was having a little chat with Jeff about his retirement this morning and he seems to be pretty happy with it. Look at it this way today is Monday right and the worst thing about Monday is that the weekend is over and you have to go back to work. The best thing about being retired is you don’t have to get up and do anything, you can sit around the house all day in your under ware, or naked if you’re so inclined, you eat when you want talk to who you want when you want to it’s great. It the exact opposite of working that goes for the day s too like I said now Mondays don’t bother you but Fridays and the weekends they mean going to relatives doing things with the wife like shopping and such, so now instead of hating Mondays and looking forward to Friday it’s a little different. Jeff feels bad for the people down here because most of them have to work six days a week he thinks that’s why they have so many Holidays down here so people get a chance to relax. Well as always it’s been fun this morning but now I’m going to exercise our retirement rights and go take a nap CIAO.

It’s Sunday sorry about yesterday but Jeff was under the weather he’s still not feeling to great today but he’s trying. Do you guys remember when you bought a pair of sneakers not as a fashion statement but because you needed them for Gym class or to save wear and tear on you good shoes when you went out to play? Most of you probably don’t remember but the old grump Jeff does and he wondering when a pair of sneakers started costing more than a pair of Florshiem dress shoes, hell for that matter a pair of Adios or Nikes cost more than a pair of Jeans and a couple of shirts. You don’t want to know the profit margin in these things either, them being made in foreign countries for pennies and then sold here for hundreds. There are two things you can be sure poor people have a Cell phone and a pair of Nikes. Now the sys a lot for the culture of a country and where it’s headed and in the case of the US it not going in a good direction, when Jeff was growing up a car was what you wanted, now you need a car, and I pad, I phone and a 300 dollar pair of Air Jordan’s. I give up on you humans especially those in the US you perspective on life sucks so I’m going to go take a nap and think about what I want (a little food and a clean litter box) CIAO.
