Colin McEnroe Show: A Cat Call & Response To The SOTU
I heard two New York congressmen on NPR this morning talking about last night's co-called Date Night in which Republicans and Democrats had to find people from the opposite party to sit with.
This morning's consensus, from them? It was a nice thing to do, but we probably won't do it again next year. Oh really? For most of us, I think, there was something reassuring about the spectacle of collegiality even if there were a certain number of clenched teeth involved.
Maybe we want them to do it again next year. And every year after that for the foreseeable future.
I mean, are they saying that, by next year, the pangs of conscience occasioned by the Tucson shooting will have receded and will no longer matter?
I have a suggestion to Congress: We'll tell you when we're ready for you to stop acting nice with each other. Until then, humor us with the kabuki theater of cooperation.

On my prairie home companion calendar for today:
" I've never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don't listen, they don't come in when you call, they like to stay our all night, and when they do come home they expect to be fed and stroked and then left alone to sleep. Everything that women hate in men, they love in cats."

The idea of a neutered cat "showing his junk" seems wrong on so many levels.
