a post to prove that protein wisdom is not "the most depressing, disheartening, negative, pessimistic, debbie-downer site" on the web

See? Cute kittehs!

Too bad both these little fuzzballs will be forced to live in Obama’s socialist America — where life is spent with a boot on the neck, crushing debt on the shoulders, and red tape tethering us to our tiny rental efficiency apartments.

Just sayin’.

  2. Bob Reed says:

    Dude! You’re harshing my kitten induced mellow. VIOLENT EXTREMIST!, H8TER!, DEBBIE-DOWNER!

    Ok, maybe there’s a little chronic involved, but, well, the kitten pictures are the true catalyst. And Rick Moran cautioned me against reading the text anyway…

  3. Not to mention those little fuckers spend their days sucking the milk out of the last productive teat the momma cat who was wounded while catching the rats has. She’ll die, of course, but they’ll be full when she goes. It’ll be later that they have to eat each other.

  4. John Bradley says:

    …and this is why we can’t have nice things.

  5. bh says:

    Gallows humor might well be the best humor.

    Kitty cats? Brotha please!!!
    What this place needs is Danger encore!

    From an earlier post:

    The GOP problem is that they seem perfectly content to grind it out on the ground. Which makes perfect sense if you are the 72 dolphins (the no-name defense hardly ever let’s the other team score and your fullback is Larry Csonka who once received a personal foul penalty for throwing a forearm shiver and running over a hapless defensive back while he was carying the ball in his other arm, but I digress;).

    Unfortunately, they (the GOP) are more like the 76 Bucs and they are behind by 20 points half way through the fourth qtr. I’ts well past time to scrap the game plan (although I’d be happy to reassess if Boehner ever throws Harry Reid a forearm shiv;).

    NOW WITH BONUS CSONKA FOOTAGE!!!

  7. Joe says:

    Our Chinese overlords love kitties.

  8. cranky-d says:

    Those kittens only look cute. They are tools of the state, used to oppress us. They carry parasites that put us under their spell.

    BE FREE OF THE KITTIES!!

  9. geoffb says:

    Poor kitties. They will be forced to eat people food cause people will be eating all the kitty food.

  10. Darleen says:

    Remember, according the Left, those aren’t “pets” but animal companions.

  11. Mikey NTH says:

    Just so long as I can make an energy drink out of the kittehs like the ‘puppey blender’ does and then I can survive anything.

  12. Mr B says:

    Sorry, this is a Soros site. But, it has all the video from the Bretton Woods 3 conference discussing the new global order, reserve currency, all that fun stuff. http://ineteconomics.org/

    Anyone watching this stuff? I posted a link earlier and nobody seemd to care. Right out of the gate, the first speaker can be summed up: Capitalsim is the root of all evil. Global Govt. Social justice will solve all our problems. Just what you might expect.

    Are these guys just having an academic conference, or is this a big deal?

  13. Jeff G. says:

    Mr B —

    I had posted on it a while back. I think that’s why nobody commented. We’d discussed it a few weeks ago. But the footage should be cool. We haven’t seen that yet.

  14. Abe Froman says:

    Thank God. Previously I had to go elsewhere for kitteh refreshment after being enveloped in the stench of doom around here.

  15. Jeff G. says:

    I’m a giver, Abe.

    Speaking of which, I’m going to go give myself the gift of tall glasses of vodka we’ve learned to call martinis rather than admit we’re drinking tall glasses of vodka garnished with snacks.

  16. McGehee says:

    Down Debbie-doo down down
    Karma karma
    Down Debbie-doo down down…

  17. motionview says:

    John forgot one word in his long description of pw – truthful.

    If I wanted sunshine blown up my ass I’d be listening to Michael Medved.

  18. McGehee says:

    Sunshine
    Up my —

    Nah. That would just be crude.

  19. Mikey NTH says:

    #17 McGehee – please. Some things are not so hard to do.
    Really.

  20. McGehee says:

    At this hour you’d think stopping wouldn’t be so hard to do.

    Think I’ll go find out. See y’all later.

  21. Mikey NTH says:

    McGehee – you are not authorized to go John Denver. Please stop now.

    For all humanity – please. Stop.

  22. motionview says:

    13 tears old, just woke up and called in to WLS radio to be the 10th caller. Hey you won the John Denver Album. Really? My friend won last week and he go the Who album. John Denver, huh? No thanks. Click.
    I was always a prick.

  23. bh says:

    13 tears old

    Tears old?

    That’s not bad, actually.

  24. geoffb says:

    I want to live to be 96 tears.

  25. motionview says:

    Yeah, that “t” somehow got away from “he go the Who album”. Can you pick up WLS by you bh?

  26. Mr B says:

    Thanks Jeff. Late to game again, I am.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/after_financial_crisis_world_leaders_regroup_at_bretton_woods/2011/04/12/AFzsHtSD_story.html?wprss=rss_homepage

    Academic then?

    “There are unlikely to be any major breakthroughs this week in solving some of the nagging problems that put the world on course to the 2008 crisis, those involved with the talks said.”

    ““Today,” said James, “we have neither the optimism, nor the urgency.”

    If I interpret that correctly. I like what that actually means.

  27. Darleen says:

    OMG … I remember hearing that song over and over on my transistor radio, KHJ AM … it was IIRC, a fave of The Real Don Steele

    yep, I was 12.

  28. Mr B says:

    bh,

    Sen Grothman has been cracking me up at some of the financial committee meetings. He’s been told a handful of times “Glenn, that has nothing to do with the discussion” as he lobs a bomb at Sen Taylor or Larson or another demagogue. He replies, “OK thanks” every time. And does it again. lol

    The March 23rd Joint Committe on education was a brutal 10 hours of testimony. A gold nugget with Superintendent, of Kettle Moraine, Pat Deklotz is at the 8:42 mark. She is fantastic. Great ideas and criticisms.

  29. bh says:

    Listened to that most the time I was in Chicago, mv. Can’t pick it up now unless I’m driving south though.

  30. geoffb says:

    It came out the year I graduated from HS and the band was out of Bay City Michigan.

    WLS was the life line of my teen years as the local stations only played that horrible Rock ‘n Roll one night a week for a couple hours.

  31. motionview says:

    I think you’r right Mr. B. Of course they are completely mis-diagnosing the cause of the financial crisis of 2008 – the world investor class realized with certainty that we really, really were giving the car keys to a drunken 6 year old who thinks he’s Mario Andretti, with San Fran Nan manning the pit and Harry Reid wandering aimlessly on the track.

  32. bh says:

    That’s the truth, Mr. B.

    One reason I get a kick out of some of these recounts. Recount and replace Grothman? Good luck with that.

  33. motionview says:

    OK I gotta go – those kittehs are really pissing me off.

  34. bh says:

    Possibly even recall rather than recount. Words are scary and possibly futuristic to this particular cheese farmer.

    (Has anyone been keeping track? This has to be a brain lesion, yes?)

  35. geoffb says:

    Is there such a thing as a single malt brain lesion?

    Then yes.

  36. bh says:

    I shall grant you one heh, Geoff.

  37. geoffb says:

    All I ask. BTW how do you farm cheese? Anne loves it and perhaps it can grow in a container on the deck.

  38. geoffb says:

    Well it’s late night and bedtime so here is something from April 7th that made me go Hmmmmmmm. Maybe the margin should actually be 17,500 not 7,500 and that they didn’t do 20,000 instead of 10,000 is what has the left so mad.

    On an estimated more than 10,000 ballots in Dane County, Wisconsin, where the state capital Madison is, voters selected only a pick in the Supreme Court race, while leaving even the hotly contested mayoral and county executive choices blank.

  39. Carin says:

    Ha If only I had read this last night. I was so depressed. I’ve been trying to explain to my husband that the budget deal was, overwhelmingly, a lie. He’s taking it hard.

    I just saw a bunny in my yard, and that perked me up a bit. If only I could see a unicorn.

    Nothing says,”suburbs” like a coyote with a cat in its mouth.

    Stephen Green always got that part right.

    After sipping Petron with my brother-in-law once, he mentioned that he preferred tequilla because it tended to tap you on the shoulder to let you know you had enough, while vokda tends to sneak up and club you over the head. Still silver tequilla is pretty pricy and vodka gets the job done (and generally at a bargain)–ask any Russian.

    Here’s a tip–if you take cheap vodka and run it through a Brita filter, taste testers have a hard time telling it from Gray Goose.

  42. Entropy says:

    I can’t stand vodka and it has no love for me either.

    I use to think I hated tequila (jose cuervo = gasoline) until I had Petron. That stuff is awesome.

  43. cranky-d says:

    Cuervo is only suited for mixed drinks. Petron, on the other hand, should be sipped to savor every drop of goodness.

  44. serr8d says:

    Best cat photo EVAH! Just needs a bowl of paella sitting on the nightstand.

  45. serr8d says:

    I just bought a bottle of Mescal, complete with a fat worm. For Friday night, along with a campfire.

  46. Blake says:

    Meanwhile, my cat just took a dump and it’s making my eyes water, even in my currently congested sneezy generally feeling crappy condition.

    May have to rethink what we’re feeding her.

    I’m sure there’s a government spending – kitty poop analogy there somewhere.

  47. Slartibartfast says:

    I like The Stranglers version of 96 Tears just as much.

  48. motionview says:

    Joe you are just a font of information lately – first a delicious cat recipe, then a Vel-u-Rite to Grey Goose conversion technique. What’s for dessert, parfait of NK tree bark?

    I’ve developed a taste for sipping tequila and Modelo Negro.

  49. Mueller says:

    If you can choke down the first couple of shots of Kesslers it really doesn’t matter what the next shots are.

  50. mojo says:

    It’s not for nothing that I am known in certain unsavory quarters as “mojo, Hammer of teh Kittehs”…

  51. SarahW says:

    Put some kitties with cheez on their heads..

  52. LBascom says:

    I’m always amused by life’s little co-incidences. For example, last night the wife was telling me she was going to be drug tested today, and ten minutes later there was an ad on TV for “the Office”, and they were going to be drug tested. Made me smile.

    I mention it because the other day we went to my sister-in-laws re-enlistment ceremony at the navy base, and the conversation turned to Korean food…

  53. J0hn says:

    What I said was that this is the most depressing, disheartening, negative, pessimistic, debbie-downer site of those sites I choose to read. A much smaller set than all sites on the web.

    Also, I think there might be some gray area between kittens and the full-bore doom-mongering of this site. As I recall, the majority of the posts here used to live in that area, but not anymore. Makes me a sad panda, it does.

  54. Entropy says:

    There is no such thing as gray.

    What you are seeing is kittens and doom all mixed up, as if someone had chucked the kittens in a blender full of doom, all too finely dispersed for your eyes to distinguish where doom stops and chopped kitty starts.

    It’s gray on average.

    Under the microscope, it’s all doom and dead cats.

  55. Slartibartfast says:

    There is no such thing as gray.

    Anything between 0 and 255 (at least on 8-bit grayscale), pretty much by definition.
