Friday Smithers Blogging

FRIDAY SMITHERS BLOGGING....My guest posting stint is just about up, but before I go, I'd like to share this shot of my cat, Smithers, making what is clearly a powerful political statement.

Or perhaps not. I had a narrative worked out in which I'd explain that Smithers had grown to several thousand times her normal size, but the truth is my wife is a bit of a wiz when it comes to puzzles, and she recently finished a 3-D puzzle of the Capitol (which looks surprisingly good, by the way).

I'd like to think that this is Smithers' way of sharing her outrage over Republican filibusters.
