A little pet levity

Jay and Jane from The Daily Rant are hosting an online event to lighten up the mood that the war has brought to the blogosphere - Pet Blogging Day. Sounds like a good idea to me, so two of the four members of our menagerie have their photos speeding through the internet as I type.

Perhaps Tom will submit his cat, Porkchop, to the constellation of pet stars.

Now, in the spirit of good petsmanship, I offer the following ground rules:

Liberals, please do not demand that we raise taxes to get all homeless animals into minimal living standards or that we institute quotas so that minority breeds are adopted as often as "popular" breeds.

Conservatives, please don't cut taxes so that rich people can have more dogs and cats than poor people, and don't kick the cute puppies and kitties (the ugly ones, well, maybe just once)*.

* Bite me, PETA, it's a joke.
