The piglets are doing fine, but here is a pic to prove it (although it is from the other night, so I guess I am not proving anything):
But this is basically what they are doing right now, just being bitchier and less photogenic. In an odd note, Steve is the first cat I have ever known who likes steak. I really think this kid is part bobcat.
And you all keep calling him fat like I am over feeding him, but I swear to you, yes, he has the little paunch that all toms get when they get snipped later in life, but he just really is a big damned cat. His frame is massive and he is bigger than both dogs, even if he was skinny. He’s just a big man.

Is that your resident animal whisperer with them? And where’s Rosie?

Then there is the conflict, which may quickly escalate if Israel decides
Both Sides Do It!
it’s not the racist triumphalism that is most annoying, it’s the “Of course, they are also prisoners of their situation,” Both Siderism of Haaretz on the Hudson that really grates

You know if you go to http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/ you can actually interact with a few ISIS/ISIL members. Granted the NSA will be on your ass but Lambert assured me that “The NSA doesn’t spy on it’s people.”
Plus there’s an insane asian guy posing as a Russian posing as a Brit!. It is literal madness and an NSA cornucopia.

real live nude ISIS members? was John Bolton and Pam Geller informed that Jen Rubin’s BFFs were in town?

I feel pretty confident the hasbara is talking about you, Omnes Omnes Hotels Inc. are you on the side of Lincoln or on the side of Calhoun?

@some guy: OK, I do not know who you are but I do believe that Omnes would be insulted by your flagrant assertion.
Only an ignorant swine such as myself might hope to like, you know, say something to, like, make you stop saying things, or something.

@some guy: Of course the fact that Omnes is several hundred years old might temper your enthusiasm and stay your poisonous keyboard whilst we await the foul breath of his response.
I always pictured him as the Great owl from Secret of NIMH.

Can there be anything better than a really big affectionate cat on your lap when it’s 92 out and the humidity is pushing 100%?
Seriously, I really like a cat purring on my chest as I go to bed, it puts me out quickly.

My husband sent me your pic, he’s your most avid reader fan! — He sent this to me, because of the cat! — I would judge by those beautiful paws and those lovely tufts between the paws and the handsome tiger markings that your cat is going to get pretty damn big! — Mostly likely a Maine Coon Cat! :) — Good Luck with him, he’s awesome! :)
