Einstein the cat

Click the link if one or more of the following is true:

1. You know and like dethany and want to help her out;
2. You like cats and want to contribute to the well-being of one;
3. You couldn't give a damn about this stranger or her cat, but live in a place where hair extensions and a cat's digestive tract could come into contact;
4. You're curious what this is about.

(The short version: the cat ate some synthetic hair out of the trash and is now undergoing expensive surgery.)

Paging conservatives, etc.

In reference to this:

... I ask -- without meaning to provoke flame wars here -- for someone to explain to me how Pelosi's comments are "dangerous" to the troops. I am genuinely curious.

I am not asking whether you agree with Pelosi, or to explain to me just in what way she is a commie mutant traitor, but rather, to abstract it, to tell me how criticizing the way any President handles a war can by itself put soldiers at risk.

On my own, I can only assume that the logic is that freedom-hating terrorists become so enraged when they see Americans exercising their freedom to dissent that they are driven to attack.
