I wish I had photos to share, but I was busy monitoring the introduction. The results were satisfying and at times hilarious. First off, Bodie is a 20-30# cocker spaniel mix. He's young and full of joyous energy. Bodie lives with my fiancee and he and our Maximum Leader had never met. Latin name: bodius spasmodius . Our Maximum Leader is 14# and about 10 years old. She's...

Hope ‘n Change is a leftist who’s totally incompetent at just about everything except political scheming and his own personality cult. His latest brainstorm – Barney Frank’s, actually - is to ‘fix’ our financial system, primarily by awarding the Federal Reserve unprecedented powers to meddle in markets. In their world, our current crisis is all the fault of those...

Every morning, our Maximum Leader exercises her editorial control over the content on this blog. Here, she's researching some economic statistics. Apparently they're in the pile of papers on the floor*. * - We're not always the tidiest of bloggers, you know.

... return to what I read from Singh one day. He found that Mr. Jagdeo’s presidency was based on the maximum leader syndrome and he likened the style to the days in Guyana when the leader was coterminous with the society. It was a trenchant castigation of how power was being exercised. It was analysis that many couldn’t believe when you thought of whom the author was -Rickey Singh...

We've recently moved into an area that has many coyotes. They're known to be out during both day and night, looking for animals to eat, animals like cats. To give our Maximum Leader the outdoor access she craves, we've made the back yard cat-proof. It was already coyote-proof, but it needed some simple modifications to keep her from escaping. It was the perfect solution - a nice-sized,...

Our Maximum Leader is a very adaptive cat. She's usually very calm and collected, no matter what's going on around her. Throughout most of our packing and moving preparations, she went through her normal routine, unfazed. When the movers showed up, though, she got very worried. I don't like change! Once we moved, she adapted to the new place very quickly. Today we're going to cat-proof...

... I has them! We moved everything into our new house (most of it is still in boxes) and we've managed to bring the Interweb Tubes into our house. Hurrah! I've got my morning coffee, our Maximum Leader is exploring the house after spending the night in the Catican* and I'm surfing the 'net. It's all coming together. * - Our Holy Scribe came up with this moniker for the garage in a comment...

There they go again. Republicans’ Maximum Leader Rush Limbaugh is trying to manufacture a new bit of outrage, this time to boycott GM. That’s right — boycott General Motors. Clearly these repubs have not spent any time mapping out where the GM plants will survive. And clearly these repubs don’t give a damn about whether Americans actually [...]

In connection with my post below, our Maximum Leader has this to say about the Nats' possible rendezvous with the Big Unit's destiny: Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader did a very bad thing yesterday. While talking baseball with...

"We're out of money," said the Maximum Leader. And he is. But that can be fixed ! Obama wants a state-run component to his health care plan even if it means jamming through a bill on a party-line vote. To pay for it, he is willing to do what he mercilessly attacked John McCain for proposing during the election: taxing private health insurance benefits. ...But while McCain wanted...

Our Maximum Leader is on his way to the Middle East to try and sell some GM cars (given that he is now the de facto CEO). Okay, not really, although I am currently picturing the adverts for "Crazy O's New and Used Cars." Anyway, he is heading there to give speeches, shake hands and try to convince the locals that peace is nice and does not involve getting nukes or killing Jews....

Today, in never before seen footage, we reveal the Inner Sanctum of the Maximum Leader of the Feline Theocracy . This is where she meditates and prays in preparation of bestowing her blessings on the faithful. Just looking at it makes me feel holy.

Dell's earnings have dropped by 63% this quarter . However, Maximum Leader Michael Dell sees blue skies on the horizon and says "We are preparing for what we believe will be a powerful replacement cycle". One of his wish-dreams is that next year businesses and governments will rush out to buy new computers to run Windows 7. Of course, this is the same guy who in 1997 said of...
