A cogent analysis from an 'uncut' Cat - and a contrarian perspective, well argued.

Truly creative and brilliant, Kevin. BRAVO!

I think you are the first analyst to taxonomically transmute Luigi from a mere MURDERER into a Robin Hood-esque TERRORIST hero. Very perceptive.

Has Muse grokked that North Korea is his Exhibit A poster child?

Yeah, Muse likes Kim even more than Trump does ; - )

Also, your cat looks too old to be classified acceptably as a terrorist. Did you not know that the label has been revised to only include kittens? Please do not try to confuse us! It's the litters that are the most dangerous.

Never too old to be a "terrorist." I mean, look at me ; - )

Souls are ageless, but you do have a way of scaring the terror, tears and rage right out of me and replacing it with a therapeutic type of jolly chuckling laughter.

Can't go to prison for imaginative revenge - not yet anyways!

In this weird upside down world turns out real genocidal maniacs can't even go to prison, in the Hague, for imaginARY revenge- not yet anyways! But......hopefully......

I think you'd make great films. The kind where a Peter Sellers type genius could play all manner of characters including some Al-Cia-da guys (with a little bit of blackface applied) and mainscream media pundits and blackmailed politicians, and blacksouled politicians etc.

When Stanley Kubrick was researching Atomic Warfare in an effort to make a serious documentary he, after awhile, realized people just couldn't confront the degree of evil on the subject without making it all into a spoof as a lighter gradient. The "Dr. Strangelove" DVDs that have special featured interviews are interesting.

Anyways, thanks!

Your cat has more common sense and real politick than most humans.

Wolfowitz Doctrine: Won't let anyone challenge their hegemony the promise sealed by 911.

To quote a certain influential Joo - one Robert Zimmerman:

For you don't count the dead when

God's on your side

To quote another - one Leonard Cohen:

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

What a strange and distorted world, full of shadowy Sayanim and grinning Cheshire cats!

When the world wakes up and Jews are once again banned from positions and professions of inordinate wealth and power, I will argue for a "singer-songwriter exception" with Zimmerman and Cohen as Exhibit A.

Kevin, I don't mean to be overly cynical or jaded, but as a representative "westerner" I don't see much hope of that judging by the vacuous credulity and (in the words of Orwell) "protective stupidity" I see exhibited all around me. Most people I speak to - average Joe's and Jane's - couldn't differentiate between Assad and Mossad, never mind find Palestine on a map. We need "Torches of Freedom" tactics to turn this thing around 180 degrees. Sorry for the pessimism. It's all so fudging tragic.
