Because it is my only goal in life to keep you all happy and because I am apparently all cracked up on sunshine and posting with the ferocity that only Steve Benen or Sullivan’s interns can match, I have some fresh new Zsa Zsa pics for you from her new home:
She was such a pretty, chirpy little girl and I am so happy she has her own people and own house to make her happy and take care of her every whim. Because seriously, that top picture is the look of a demanding diva.
*** Update ***
I am sure some of you will see the humor in this, although I think it is an attack on my beautiful and docile Tunch who only wanted to be friends with her and really is not that fat:
He only wanted to snuggle.
Dicks.

Nice to see she retains the ability to defocus the camera.
Happy kitteh is happy–although I suspect the flipped-on-my-back pose is a mew for help.
Or not.

Ah, she’s a little beauty! I’m glad she’s so happy, and once again I thank and congratulate you, John Cole, for doing the right thing by her.

KITTEH!!

Rilly? OK, then, answer me this: what the fuck was LL Cool J thinking exactly?

Thanks for the pics! She is full on, you can tell in that first picture.

I like the slightly out of focus pictures. That’s basically the way I see, and I prefer it. No wrinkles, no spots, everybody looks groovy.

@max:
My best guess? “Cowboy Dude means well, and what have either of us got to lose, at this point in our careers?”
It’s a heinously stupid song, but well-intentioned. Paisley’s not targeting the urban hipster demographic, but he’s certainly not a Reconstructionist supporter either.

I am so glad Zsa Zsa doesn’t have to deal with ugly bed sheets anymore.

This post is rapey.

Zsa Zsa looks extremely happy. In that first picture you can almost imaging her thinking “You are NOT going to take me away from here and return me to the lair of that fat beast.”

@Anne Laurie:
This. Obviously, neither Paisley or LL Cool J are the brightest bulbs in the box. But I know that Paisley is that elusive creature known as a southern liberal. He means well even if he can’t quite get it right. I give him points for trying and am glad that not every redneck is a paranoid fantasist with sociopathic tendencies. I’ll get Paisley’s back just for the fact that he is one of the exceptions.
Anya
@max:LL Cool J is a Republican douchebag. Paisley on the other hand is actually one of the good guys. But I don’t know WTF was he thinking about that crazy song.

Let’s get to what’s important: I still think you shave your legs.
Jim, Foolish Literalist
I can’t see inside his mind, I don’t think he’s a stone racist, but he clearly has bought into the Noble Cause Myths on some level. He was probably fed it from birth. The line that gets to me is “we’re still walkin’ on eggshells”. Who’s we, white southern man?
Yutsano
@geg6: Thete have been occasional rumblings to get Tim McGraw to consider running for Senate from Louisiana as a Democrat, but so far he’s just been out doing his thing. He would increase the attractiveness quotient of the august body that’s for sure. I have a hard time believing he’s 45.

I have to call shennigans on that 2nd pic. People in WV don’t golf, so something is not up to par here.

Koda just looked over my shoulder at the picture of Zsa Zsa. And then she looked at me and cocked her head like does when she’s trying to figure out what I’m thinking and kissed me.
Not sure what about Zsa Zsa had her so perplexed, but I have to say that Koda is a very smart pup and very emotive. That cocked head look is so intelligent and you can almost see her thinking. Smartest dog I’ve known since my sister first got her spitz, Cookie, fourteen years ago. I gotta up my game. Otis is the sweetest dog evah, but no one accuses him of being too smart. And as I get ready to post, Koda is telling me she wants to go to bed. She has more than made herself at home here. I adore her.

He’s a little fat.

@Yutsano:
Yeah, McGraw and Hill are both southern liberals, too. I’m not at all a country fan but I make exceptions for the country artists who aren’t whackaloons. And yes, Mc Graw would up the hotness quotient on Capitol Hill by about 1000x.

Yay! Floofy Zsa Zsa kitteh!

I love Tunch’s tail. It looks like an aftermarket part.

BTW, are we to take it that her new

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: I don’t know. I don’t go into a Starbucks wearing my stars and bars shirt, so in guessing eggshells might be the right sentiment. I’m trying to figure out what in my wardrobe would be a potential source of animosity that I might unthinkingly wear outside.
As for the song, it is very likely that this is a story song and neither of characters are supposed to be brad paisley or ll cool j.

Am I the only one who is waiting for an opportunity to say,”You know nothing John Cole.”
I’m sure that I am not.

@B. Lehmann: Durf is that you? Give up on the orange juice nym?

@Suffern ACE: Except Paisley says the song originated in him wearing a Confederate flag t-shirt.
He also says this:
Being proud of your heritage and ancestors, even though they may have done deeply flawed things, is one thing. Making that the “but” of that sentence is a whole nuther thing.
This is good.

I was behind LL Cool J on a grocery line. Late 90s. He was buying such crazy love food — his entire order was like raspberries and chocolate. Or maybe whipped cream and peaches. Very sexy food. Which is kind of adorable. He was suitably embarrassed.

Thanks for Zsa Zsa pet pics.
She looks happy.
There is something Tunchlike in her eyes. I see the TunchForceTransfer has occurred. Nice to know, from a distance. But, has Cole warned the new owners about it?
Narcissus
Lots of people snuggle dicks.
Don’t judge.

@LT: That makes me really sad. I thought he was better than that. This sucks:-@

That photo of Tunch is hilarious. Zsa Zsa looks so happy. So glad she’s found her forever home.

I called the dibs on tunch’s tummy in the last thread.

Speaking from a purely heterosexual viewpoint (as The General would say), that’s not setting a very high bar – a young Groucho Marx would up the hawtness quotient on the Hill by 1000x. Marco Rubio and the zombie eyed granny starver* notwithstanding…..
*Must be specific and do the linky thing, since Wisconsin has at least two of the swine.

Awwww, I’m glad Lady Fluffy Pantaloons is loving her new home. She’s a princess and deserves to be treated as such!

“and really is not that fat”
Right. Just “healthy”.
Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism
@LT: Or has too much exposure to the holier-than-thou sort of liberal. I still run into people who call me a cracker because I’m a Southern dead relative collector. And I remember very well the people who celebrated when Katrina wiped out Beauvoir and mocked those of us who mourned the loss of the historical papers that were housed there. Many of those same people have never forgiven Joss Whedon for using post-CW Southern memoirs in developing Mal Reynolds for Firefly.
On a happier note: Zsa Zsa! Oh, that’s a classic kitty belly trap. Miles is determined I’m not going to admire her. He keeps bringing me an empty treat bag.

Tunch’s tail looks photoshopped.

That is a happy looking Zsa Zsa. You’re a good judge of cat happiness.

Tunch is not fat. Just big-boned.
So glad that Zsa Zsa looks like such a happy kitteh!

Help
I have stray cats that have taken over my yards and porches. It smells like a litter box back there, and it’s almost unbearable. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get rid of these animals? I don’t know if it’s important, but two of the cats appear to be pregnant.
Thanks.
Mnemosyne
@staci:
You could try contacting an organization like Alley Cat Allies and see if they can help you find someone who can trap and remove them. It’s kind of weird that they would all suddenly converge on you — is it possible that one of your neighbors could be a hoarder and they’re wandering over from there?
staci
@Mnemosyne: It’s not all of a sudden – they’ve been coming around for a while but they were fairly transient so I just lived with it. Now, they seem to have taken up residence. You’re right about a neighbor though. She throws food out every morning, and we not only have the flippin’ cats, I’ve also got raccoons and possums, too. What I find weird is that they have decided to use my yard as their habitat. It’s almost funny that of all the houses they could have chosen, they picked my house. I live in Chicago, and I’ve called Animal Control but if the animal is not present when they come, they write off the report as if they’ve fixed the problem and you have to start all over again with a new complaint.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: I think he thinks his fans are all into that Noble Cause ™ myth.

@staci: You can trap them yourself & send them to Humane Society or you can call Animal Control.
