Since it’s Friday, I thought I’d spread the joy of humor-free, apolitical Friday Catblogging to IMAO.
Today, it’s Nardo the Killer Orangeboy leaping for a crawdad tail:
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 Nardo 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 The Friday Ark and Carnival of the Cats on Sundays.)
BY THE WAY:
All the news has been about the .xxx pornographic top level domain proposal, but nobody seems to have noticed the .cat domain sneaking in for approval!
Catalan language sites? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, right. What’s next? .heeb for Hebrew? .jew for Jewish content?
This was all a ruse to get cats their own TLD, and it has worked! And it was all Edloe’s idea!
Katzen uber alles!
Maybe that picture represents the average american male’s defiance of PETA by feeding an animal to another animal?
Think of Nardo as Mayor Nagin & that class of Nawlins citizens that DEMAND help – “where’s my $2,000 debit card? Don’t you people CARE?”
Pomoze Bog.

The Nardster as a poster-boy for the Blue constituency? Hmmmmm…cute image, but it breaks down from a logical standpoint. My thinking:
Cats are by far the most intelligent of domesticated animals, and are also the Conservative form of pet. Here’s why:
1) Their spirits cannot be broken; they always maintain a haughty contempt for any attempt to dominate them
2) Cats have the ability to understand free market forces; if they are not fed from a can (i.e. welfare) they go out and earn their own (i.e. hunting)
3) Cats are family-oriented, being prodigious breeders and excellent providers of their families once birthed
4) Cats are very independent; you never have to take a cat out to void its bodily waste or bathe them—they take care of their own business instead of relying on outside forces (i.e. government intervention) to take care of them
5) Cats tend to be libertarian, fighting any attempt to abridge their rights
6) Cats are highly intelligent; they will not do things like run themselves to death, or drink too much water for their own good—they show a temperance that more “liberal” animals are incapable of showing
7) Cats have innate dignity and do not feel the need to make obsequious gestures (such as “tricks” and “fetch”) to gain favors; they are also immune to lobbying for such demeaning activities; they “bow to no throne”
8) Cats are territorial, and will fight to protect their “nation-state” against all comers. They patrol their territories constantly, keeping secure borders
9) Cats are very sanitary animals, constantly washing themselves and not allowing excessive hair to grow on themselves (they are not hippies, after all…)
10) Cats rarely make vocal protests, but instead prefer to fight a war using guerilla tatctics, such as wetting on furniture, to achieve their ends. They understand the effectiveness of brute force and are not afraid to use it. A cat NEVER runs with his tail between his legs if you yell “Bad cat!”
Contrast all of this with dogs, and you will see why cats are conservatives and dogs are liberals.
And remember: Cat starts with a “C” for Conservative, while Dog starts with a “D” for Democrat.
Thus endeth the sermon.
Pomoze Bog.

Hey there, my Hebrew friend!
Crawdads ain’t kosher!
And, Tsar, have you ever heard the saying:
Dogs look up to you.
Cats look down on you.
Pigs look at you as an equal.
Pomoze Bog.
Given the inherent conservative nature of cats (as demonstrated above), I would say that Nardo is an investor and the crawdad tail is a sweet stock issue that he is snapping up before Greenspan jacks the rate up again. Good to see a true Bull in action… 🙂

He’s thinking, “I’m hungry because Fema didn’t allow people to take their pets when they evacuated because Bush wants Feline-Americans to die so I’m going for the fingers.”
You are all fools!!!
Nardo is Ted Kennedy and/or Michael Moore at an all-you-can-eat buffet!
Pomoze Bog.
JMK:
Nah, can’t be; he doesn’t have a drink in his paw.

Although, come to think of it, Edloe looks like them. Sitting in an attitude of lazy indifference with generous paunch at the fore…Eyes glowing with too much drink…smug smile of entitlement on his face…
Yep. Edloe fits the bill.

I’ve recently petitioned to have farm-raised crawdads declared kosher.
Otherwise, I’m converting to Cajudaism. (Cajun Judaism)
What does it mean that the company trying to do this is named puntcat?
Mmmmmm……crawdads…
That’s hilarious. I liked the pic. Paul
