Please don't associate Neanderthals with Trump. They are older and wiser than that (and have bigger brains).

The Scottish wildcats are not going extinct by hunting or disease or anything, they readily breed with domestic cats so genetically they are going extinct or at least the full blooded wildcat is going to be gone sooner or later. Australia has a similar issue going on with the Dingo population there, its not under any threat of extinction by man but rather its mixing with domestic dogs and its creating a population of Dingos that is less and less genetically Dingo as the generations go on.

That is an intensely beautiful image. It kinda makes me wanna turn into A Ghey just a little bit. Or at least have those two lovely gentlemen as my A Ghey Unkles. Or A Ghey Nekst Dohr Jim Nabors. (Yeah, I'll stop now.)

But seriously, thank you Dominic. That is just a wonderful representation of the human spirit (and just a great photograph, really excellent composition) and gives me just a little bit of hope. I'm stupid that way.

Forget Congress, Mueller should have it on his to-do list.

I just went and watched the thing about the Brazilian election. I want to wax prophetic and predict that mounds of evidence will be bared. I'm sure the prosecutors will make the charges stick fast and rip those bad actors right out of government. They're caught by the short hairs!

There. How's that for therapy?

Nah, altho' I have "inherited" a cat, following my aunt's ultimately unsuccessful fight against ovarian cancer.

I was just so used to seeing therapy dogs around the cancer center that that story caught my eye. Kids aren't the only ones with compromised immune systems....

We are all consumed by infuriating frustration with this situation.The only thing I can compare it to, is the hopelessness we felt after Watergate.(This is much worse, I know.)

It has been a shattering experience to realize that so many fellow Americans are idiots.

All it will take is one good indictment to get the ball rolling.I eagerly await that day.Hang on until then, and let others (like Rachel) worry about the details.

No shit. I prefer to keep large animals with large teeth away from my underwater breathing apparatus, thank you.

Damn. I regret that I don't have any close Scottish cousins with whom I could conspire to form a sanctuary for these precious cats. They MUST be saved!!!

Sorry for beating deceased equines, but seeing as how nothing will be signed into law until 2021, Congress might as well investigate Kennedy, his son, their investments, their Russian ties, Deutsche Bank, where they got the money for Trump, and probably the Irish Mafia.

Sorry those Scottish wildcats are so close to extinction. Damned shame.
