This is why I like cats. Cats actually do this sort of thing.

They Just Don't Get It
I found it interesting to hear that a cable news guy went on a rant during his report about the economy and mortgage crisis in the US, saying he didn't want to pay for his neighbor's mortgage. He seems to believe that everyone who is unable to pay their mortgage was aware they could never pay it when they took out the loan. Whatever the case, he will pay the price whether the government under President Obama's plan helps bail out homeowners or not.
If a house on his street were to be foreclosed, it will drag down the value of his home an average of 9%. On an average home, that's $20,000!
Under Obama's plan, the government will be bailing out almost 1 million homes to the cost to the taxpayer of about $1000 each.
That's a $19,000 difference.
Of course, he's a conservative, and it is the principle! If it costs him an extra $19,000, so be it!
Likewise, after Obama's State of the Nation address, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal went on and on and on about how he believes "Americans can do anything".
That seemed to be his (and the Republican Party) plan. They want tax cuts for the wealthy, and to let Americans fix things themselves without any aid whatsoever.
Because Americans can do anything!
So, if I am to understand all this correctly what he's saying, under a Republican plan is: Americans, you're on your own!
Yeah, like that's gonna help!
No wonder new polls show the Republican party now is the least-trusted and least-favored it has ever been in US history! They know Republican party policies and ideals were some of the key reasons the economy is in the mess it's in.
Republicans don't.
Republicans still aren't aware they were thoroughly trounced in the last elections, their values, policies, and politics all rejected.
They just don't get it...

Stupidity Clarified
John Stuart Mill, in answer to an attack upon him for calling Conservatives "the stupid party" said: "I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservatives."
Still holds true even today.

Sean Penn Wins Best Actor Oscar for "Milk"
As he took the stage to accept his prize for playing slain gay-rights pioneer Harvey Milk, Sean Penn gleefully told the crowd: “You commie, homo-loving sons of guns.”
He followed with condemnation of anti-gay protesters who demonstrated near the Oscar site and comments about California’s recent vote to ban gay marriage.
“For those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight, I think it’s a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect on their great shame and their shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that support,” Penn said. “We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.”
