Another Misunderstood Gay Republican Lawmaker

♠
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 — Senator Larry E. Craig, Republican of Idaho, was arrested in June by an undercover police officer in a men’s bathroom at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in the case three weeks ago.

... By Roll Call’s account, the officer said Mr. Craig had tapped his foot, in what the officer called a known signal to engage in lewd conduct, and had also brushed his foot against the investigator’s and waved his hand under the stall divider several times before the officer showed him his badge. After the arrest the senator denied any sexual intent, and in a statement issued Monday afternoon he attributed the matter to a misunderstanding.

Another Republican lawmaker has been caught playing in the gay closet. I don't know if he is of the ruling block that is adamantly against gay rights, but that would make it perfect. Senator Craig pled guilty, but later said that this, too, was a mistake.

I guess it was just a really bad day.

But, hey, when you're horny, you're horny! We've all been there, in one fashion or another, straight or gay. Though, we are not all shamelessly hypocritical about it.

Showdown At The Cat Dish

♠
A tense time around the cats' dish this morning.

All three cats were here and crowding the plate, wanting to eat at the same time, for the first time since kittenhood days.

Evidently, the plate isn't big enough for the three of them. Only two will eat at the same time.

Socks was the odd cat out. I watched with some concern, as Socks walked around the other cats, looking braced with his tail sticking straight up and his body stiffeningly arched. Ready to pounce? Or is it possibly fear and cowardice?

It didn't come to violence, not this morning.

Calico got up from the plate, and then Socks came to eat trepidatiously, still uncertain about the Mother Grey. Socks eventually settled down and ate. And it was Calico who now felt obligated to sit aside, following the precedent that only two at a time can crowd the plate.

I had Bo outside, and feeling that the situation looked stable, I went out front to be with Bo. When I returned, we were back to the old normal, with Calico and Socks eating together, and no sight of Mother Grey.

I guess I need to be sure to provide an ample serving of cat food in the morning, in order to preserve the peace, if peace can be preserved.

I suppose one could provide another dish, but that is one precedent I don't want to establish. We feel partial to these cats, but we don't want to open up a general cat sanctuary. This little family is more than enough.
