Gee, quiet around here, eh? Well, when your kid is doing his damndest to fail 6th grade, and your government is ass-raping you in new and inventive ways, there just doesn’t seem to be much to talk about.
Snark will return when I can force this blade out of my hand.
UPDATE: Here, amuse yourselves watching Liberty Dog trying to capture the Evil Red Dot. No sound because I’m too stupid to figure out how to make this goddamned microphone work.
And we can’t have Liberty Cat #5 feeling left out:

Hey LG, sorry to hear about your sixth grader. Welcome to my world — I’ve got a very bright Sophomore who considers it his patriotic duty to drive me to drinking before I can open his damned report cards. I’m literally at the point of just handing it over to his father and asking to PLEASE be exempted from viewing.
Just know that there are millions of moms all over the country who have come to the conclusion along with you that the reason why God gives you babies is that if he gave you teenagers, you’d drive them out into the woods first thing and leave them there. Without a map. As it is, babies are so darned cute, by the time you realize what you’ve done, it’s way too late!

I just went to the GOA alert area and sent the pre-written emails to my reps. Probably the most productive thing I’ll do all day. All week. All month. Thanks for the reminder.

You’re probably not going to believe this, but some clever fool actually got a US Patent on that laser thing:
Title: Method of exercising a cat
Document Type and Number:
United States Patent 5443036
Abstract:
A method for inducing cats to exercise consists of directing a beam of invisible light produced by a hand-held laser apparatus onto the floor or wall or other opaque surface in the vicinity of the cat, then moving the laser so as to cause the bright pattern of light to move in an irregular way fascinating to cats, and to any other animal with a chase instinct.
So you owe somebody a nickel.
Back to teenagers: By the time they reach 20 or so, they will be amazed at how wise you’ve become.
