Friday Catblogging
Posted by Laurence Simon at 09:03 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (10)

Since it's Friday, I thought I'd spread the joy of humor-free, apolitical Friday Catblogging to IMAO (aka "I-MEOW").

Today, it's Piper the Judgemental perched on a sofa arm:

Doesn't he look happy?

If you're not sure how this absurd scene pertains to IMAO, since IMAO is famous for that "political humor" thing, it doesn't. If you must have some semblance of politics or humor in everything you read here, just assume that Piper is... um...

Help me out here. Make your suggestions in the comments how this scene is, in fact, a political allegory.

(For more animal goodness, try Friday Ark today and Carnival of the Cats on Sundays.)

Hmmm... Condesending look, camera to his side, looking at the carpet with contempt, even though any messes there are probably his own.

Dan Rather??

I'm so hungry I could eat a Michael Moore....

or,

I used to look down on Bush simply because I'm a cat and he is a mere mortal human, but since he nominated Miers....

He an allegory for the blogosphere as it waits and watches the MSM and politicians for the tiniest little mistake.
That, or there's a treat on the floor.

PVT Piper J., first of the Army's new Feline Combat Unit, surveys his intended target, his natural camoflage making him invisible to the blissfully unaware prey...


Actually, when you think about it, Army attack cats are a good idea. They're small enough to get into just about anywhere their head can fit. They possess formidible natural weaponry (remember that 5 of a cat's 6 ends are pointy on the underside). The calico breeds have a natural camoflage (In fact, my grandma's cat is named Camo). They would not require NVGs, as they are built-in. Forget trying to shoot one, they're too fast.

I guess the only difficulty would be training. I am, however, confident that an Army Drill Sergeant could pull off the metaphorical impossibility of herding cats. LOL! (Just got an image of kitty boot camp)

Best way to get them to cooperate? Appeal to pride.

DS: Alright you pack of Garfields! I am here to reawaken to deadly tiger inside each of you! Some people think you can't make a soldier out of a cat. Well, we've had dogs as soldiers for years! You gonna tell me you can't do something a dog can do?

Cats, thinking: Now wait a damn minute here! I can outdo any dog any day of the week.

(Cats fall in)

Actually, he seems a slight bit Catatonic. [I’m sure that’s never been used before]

Piper is, obviously, Harriet Miers awaiting her turn at the confirmation hearings. The oversized collar is Bush’s stubborn reluctance to withdraw the nomination… much to Piper’s chagrine [who in their right mind wants to piss off the POTUS?]

The camera represents the media, both old and new, left and right, scrutinizing the qualifications of the nominee. Notice, however, where the camera is pointed.

Well clearly, Piper represents the sleek, vigilant United States; watching over and defending a beat-up, tattered, ugly, and utterly undeserving couch.

...which represents France.

What, no hat? I told you last week's scheme wouldn't work unless Bushitler resorted to the draft. It's coming, you just wait and see.

And if there was a treat on the floor the Judgmentalator would be in motion, licking his chops.

#7 - Posted by: Art Van Dolay on October 14, 2005 02:34 PM

Piper is obviously watching the Harriet Mier nomination process VERY closely! A true conservative, Piper is not at all happy with his president right now and is waiting for a reason to get back into the game and if Bush doesn't get with the program Piper is going to sit right here until 2008 and the Republicans can go to hell!

"My judgement for Ms Miers will be as sharp and penetrating, as my judgment of the corner of this couch." - Rep. Sen. Piper.

#9 - Posted by: Insolublog on October 14, 2005 06:13 PM

"I hope she's wearing nylons." Rep. Sen Piper.
