Your clever cat sounds like our Whisper. He is very intelligent and loves to explore (fortunately he tolerates a harness and we either take him outside with it or under strict supervision). He also knows what doorhandles do, but fortunately can't operate them himself.

As for food fussiness, our cats amuse us too. There is a wet food brand called "Fussy Cat" here that Tabitha won't eat at all and Whisper only under protest (and he's the food-oriented one). Tabitha definitely prefers anything fish, even to the extent that she'll voluntarily go to her dry food feeder (containing salmon-flavoured kibble) instead of eating the chicken or beef wet food. As for the loaf type foods, I don't think she even recognises them as being edible! Fortunately Whisper has not worked out that human food is edible (and we plan to keep it that way), or he'd be intolerable at meal times.

I'm not sure if this is Johnson acting immature and throwing a tantrum because the GOP couldn't get their way, or if he's buying time to make sure they can get the nine Republicans into line before trying again.

I really hope so too, but it worries me.

David Geier isn't just a vaccine skeptic.

He has no medical or scientific qualifications and his father (who does) had his licence suspended.

Basically this is exactly the kind of guy you'd hire if you already knew what conclusion you wanted your "study" to reach.

I'm not a lawyer either, but my take on it is that they will argue that whilst the 12th Amendment requires that the VP candidate be eligible for the office of President, that eligibility is not the same as the election constraint of the 22nd Amendment and that the 22nd Amendment doesn't actually address eligibility.

So much for cutting the waste!

The LNP don't seem to actually have any plans for anything. They seem to put out ideas either as political distractions (such as nuclear power) or to test the waters, but they're really not providing any substance for anything.

Out of curiosity, how many of the downvoters on this article have actually read it? Most of it is not about Fetterman but the fact that the Democrat leadership seems to have their heads in the sand and is neither demonstrating leadership nor willing to learn from their loss last year.

Insane, no. Malevolent and sociopathic, yes.

At least she regrets her decision and seems to be capable of learning.

The horrifying thing is that they are just getting started.
