The Most Belligerent Kitten on Earth (TM) heaved up his first grown-up cat projectile today. He’s a little over two years old now and experience has taught us that Maine Coons, even half-breeds like him, don’t get to that glorious landmark until they’re about two. Here’s looking forward for years to come of waking up, staggering through a dark house to the bathroom, and stepping on a soft cold bundle of bile. This is one of the happiest days of my life.

jeroljohnson 
I vacillated on this race for months. I was an Obama fan as soon as I heard him at the 2004 convention but eventually found myself leaning towards Hillary this year. But as the caucus date got closer I still was not really sure and finally decided I was going to go with Edwards since I was closer to him on the issues. And with the Minnesota caucus moved up I was going to finally, FINALLY, get to vote for my first choice for a change. I never got that chance with Gary Hart, Bob Kerry, Bruce Babbit or Wesley Clark, but this year… But of course, true to form, it was not to be. So the last few days I’ve been in a quandary. So I took the Jerjo approach and asked myself, what would the crew of the Starship Enterprise do? Dr. McCoy would definitely be an Obama man, while I’m sure Spock would be supporting Hillary. Kirk, I’m afraid to say, might be leaning towards McCain. (Picard? I’m sure that wanker is going to support whoever the Tories run against Gordon Brown.)
So where does that leave me? I think I will likely support Obama tomorrow night. I’m a little worried about him, tho. He seems to be running to the right of Hillary and I fear the Republican slime machine (you know, the thing that convinced half the public that a three time purple heart winning was more of a coward than the man who went AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard) will eat him alive. I think Hillary would be a more effective president, get more accomplished, and be able to go toe to toe with the toughest bastards the Rs can throw at her. But I have spent my entire adult life supporting who I thought was the most capable and intelligent candidate only to see the Republicans win by running some amiable dunce. Maybe it’s time to give charisma a try. And maybe slime doesn’t stick to someone people (and importantly, the press) actually likes. We’ll see.
(Oh, and the rest of the crew? Uhura speaks Swhahili so I’m sure she’s in the Obama camp. Scotty was a Biden man, Chekov was too. Sulu supported Kucinich and Nurse Chapel strikes as a woman with a thing for Chris Dodd. Yoeman Rand I’m sorry to say lies awake at night fantasizing that Rudy Giuliani will take her up to his Ground Zero love nest and unbraid her hair. All the guys in red shirts don’t get to caucus since they’re stuck in Iraq. The M113 Creature (aka salt vampire) is not just supporting Fred Thompson, it IS Fred Thompson. The horta is of course all for Huckabee, gotta protect them silicon nod…er I mean, babies! I don’t usually bother myself with thoughts about TNG but I’m sure Wesley Crusher is out stumping for Mitt Romney.)
