The poor kittens are being indoctrinated. Gives a whole new context to Mouseland . . .

Looks like an elaborate public relations ploy to preempt accusations of being a reptilian kitten eater. The aliens are so smart!

But that cat is really cute.

Even if Harper's not a kitten-eater -- for me, the jury's still out -- this still leaves open the question of his reptile-hood.

The only evidence there, so far as I know, is that he was able to campaign in winter weather, where your typical reptile would be sluggish.

But then, in the old days (i.e. the 1970s), your typical Cylon looked like a machine, and we (we fans of the new Battlestar Galactica, I mean) know how things have changed in that respect.

The program fosters out animals with mild health or behaviour issues who need individual care and nurturing to help them recover before they are adopted by new, loving foster families.

It's quite a service our PM provides: Reading aloud to cats as some kind of feline shock therapy. It's a kitty boot camp: "Listen up, Whiskers: Escape is futile, you will listen to this man until you get over your precious "behaviour issues". As soon as you do, you'll be released to a normal, loving foster family."

"Readings will continue until morale improves"? Well, it'd be of a piece with Con philosophy in other areas -- criminal justice, e.g.

I'm a cat-lover, so I guess I will have to grudgingly concede that SH may not be completely totally evil.

I wonder, though, if he cuddles the cats or just shakes their paws?

This is a bit of thread drift, but couldn't find the right thread for this: Susan Delacourt on 'Politics' tonight said Harper may not have expected to win the last election, and thus made promises he did not expect he would have to keep - and now Harper is finding out how difficult it is to govern this country.

- paws -

Okay, now carry on your kitten discussions.

At the back of Parliament Hill, I took this photo of the residence for wild feral cats that were once owned by Ottawa residents but were left abandoned. There's a person who feeds them daily, relying on donations from visitors. When I was there a few years ago, there were 22 feral cats in his care.

Oh, my paws and whiskers!

If so, our friend will have to learn what all cats seem to know from birth:

You make your bed, you lie in it.

'lance, my hypothesis is that Harper is in fact a Therapsid, a reptillian creature of the middle Permian period that did have mammal like characteristics, including being warm blooded. They also had primitive hair.

Truly, an ingenious hypothesis. This would make Harper reptilian, dinosaur-like, and Paleozoic, all at once. In short, it fits all the observed data.

Now, one way to test it might be to ask: were he born in the usual mammalian fashion, or did he hatch from an egg?

Couldn't be that hard to find out -- he's only in his forties. Must be some hospital workers from the time of his birth still with us.

We're overlooking the most important question here -- possibly because Mandos has not yet weighed in with his usual alacrity. How has Harper been able to father children who appear to be human, or at least partly human? And are his origins terrestrial or exogenous?

Quite so, I just found one!

Haven't you been paying attention to his PR flacks? There aren't any hospital workers from his home planet because it blew up. That's why his father, Jor-El, sent him to Earth in the first place.

But of course! (Across the nation, people slap their foreheads). Some characters are simply immortal.

Hitherto -- perhaps foolishly -- I've tended to avoid them, reasoning that if I want to be buried under tons of donkey shit, I need only turn on CTV News.

But of course II. Much, as they say, is explained.

I wonder if the property managers of 24 Sussex require a pet deposit for all those kitties.

I say just put some coke bottle glasses on the old feller and call him bubbles!!!

*another drift*... Why does that kid at the top of the page on the link for Child Care look like its screaming in fear and pain? Do you think Stevie took the picture?
