Having given TMF an opportunity to blog about politics, I of course had to give Mencken his chance. So I woke him up as he slept on my bed and asked him if he wanted to do a political post.
Me: Do you want to do a political post?
Mencken: Bah humbug.
Me: Oh come on. What do you think about Obama?
Mencken: He sucks.
Me: Why do you say that?
Mencken: Everything sucks. You suck. Obama sucks. McCain sucks. The world sucks. Go away.
Me: Oh come on now, surely something doesn't suck?
Mencken: Pet me. That doesn't suck.
Me: So you aren't going to enlighten us about politics? C'mon, give us your wisdom!
Mencken: [hack cough cough cough PUKE!][giant hairball now adorning my quilt] You want wisdom? There's your wisdom. Now sod off, you silly monkey, I'm trying to sleep here.
Sigh. How I envy Pissed Off Patricia and her wise kitty, Fred the Cat, who always has something to say about current events...

Methinks that Mencken's namesake would be disappointed. While the acerbic nature fits, the failure to comment on politics?
ReplyDeleteWell, he is a kitteh. And they are emotionals....
I am with Mencken. There is naught to say.
