Little Kitteh catches some z's atop the micro in the setting sun.
"How come no posts for so long?" imailed Goomp this morning:
We: I don't know. I've written a handful but never managed to finish them.
Goomp: Michelle and I miss them.
We: I do too. Hope to get back to it soon.
Goomp: You will. The world is mighty discouraging so it is hard to know what to say.
We: Plus I keep repeating myself!
Goomp: As does everyone. Some things bear repeating.
Earl Grey stops by for a spot of catnip on the terrace early morning.
"What are you doing," our sis imailed this afternoon:
We: Reading … Wondering when I will blog again … Dad asked about it.
She: Don't let it wear you down. No blog before its time. I can imagine that you are feeling pressure.
We: LOL. I am getting restless.
She: I would suggest a quick kitty-post, just so your fans don't worry about you. Right now, there is so much blather out there, it would be hard to get a word in edgewise.
We: And they really are repeating the same themes I've covered before. The one about establishment Republicans dissing Sarah. Been there and fully analyzed it long since.
Matt Lewis said it best this morning:
The truly interesting debate relates to whether or not Palin is experiencing (as they put it) a “backlash, not from liberals but from some of the country’s most influential conservative commentators and intellectuals.”
Among the most prominent names cited by Politico (to reinforce this narrative) were conservative columnists George F. Will and Charles Krauthammer.
These are big names and smart people, but it’s also worth noting that their disapproval of Palin is certainly not a new phenomenon.
As we twittered Matt about it:
SPOT ON! KRAUTHAMMER DISSED SARAH FROM DAY ONE.
Tiny, atop the dining room table, sees things we don't.
"Some cute domestic tale would be refreshing," continued our sis:
She: People LOVE a little peek into your private life. Show a little ankle. It would take a lot of pressure off your trying to save the free world.
We: Nothing I don't already know, of course.
She: SO … Let's get some kitteh pictures out there!!!
Glad to see you back. It is all up to us common voters. Do we understand that human nature leads to control of others and that the founding fathers designed a form of government that would allow us freedom to control ourselves?

Buddy and Rusty have been asking about their friends Tiny and Earl Grey. And I've been fretting that some illness had invaded Chelsea-by-the-Sea and caused our Sissy and Tuck to be unable to post! Now Sissy - if goomp and I both miss your posts, you know you need to return to action!

Glad to see that the Massachusetts Kitteh Clowdah is back in session . . . I was starting to worry too.

There are the kitties! And there is Sissy! Yay. I think this has just been an all around depressing winter even without all the world falling to pieces as we watch.
Maybe the spring will bring a brighter outlook and more kitty and salt pictures and make us all happier. ;-)

What a wonderful post this is -- you make it thoughtful, kitteh-ful, topical, and funny, all in one column. So cool.
The cat pics are great, especially the one of Tiny, looking so intently at That Which Only Cats Can See.
Off the topic though this may be, I love your dining room built-ins, and the beautiful wall treatment.
("Show a little ankle." What a great line!)

It's hard to post when your fingers are glued to the Twitter keyboard, alas.
