This was taken at 12:49AM last night. My cat Akira was holding a conference with 6 other kitties - on my bed. At bedtime. Needless to say, I’m desperately needing some shuteye now - they didn’t budge all night… 

None smaller than the de facto leader of today’s Republican party, Sarah Palin, who preceded the Tucson address with an aggressive, self-regarding and petty-minded videotaped message that claimed she had been the victim of a “blood libel”. The contrast between the two performances could not have been sharper.

“雨にぬれる小さな町は活気がなく、すっかり寂れていた。 人々は借金を抱えて苦しい生活をしているのだ。 その町へ、一人の旅人がやってきた。そして町に一つしかないホテルに入ると、 受付のカウンターに100ユーロ紙幣を置き、部屋を選ぶために２階へ上がって行った。 ホテルの主人は100ユーロ紙幣をひっつかんで、借金返済のために肉屋へ走った。 肉屋は同じ紙幣を持って養豚業者へ走り、100ユーロの借金を返した。 養豚業者はその紙幣を握ると、つけにしてある餌代と燃料代を払うために販売業者に走った。 販売業者は100ユーロ紙幣を手にすると、この厳しいご時世にもかかわらず、つけでお相手をしてくれる 町の遊女に返そうと彼女のもとに走った。遊女は100ユーロ紙幣を懐にしてホテルに走り、 たびたびカモを連れこんだホテルに借りていた部屋代を返済した。 ホテルの主人は、その100ユーロを受け取ると、紙幣をカウンターの元の位置に置いた。 ちょうどそのとき、部屋をチェックして２階から降りてきた旅人が、どの部屋も気に入らないと云って 100ユーロ紙幣をポケットにしまいこみ、町を出て行った。 誰も稼いでないけど、町中の誰もが借金を返し終わり、町は活気を取り戻した。”

If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco 
Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope
wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her
mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands 
(outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for 
help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined 
that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and
untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and 
eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in 
what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and 
every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently 
around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most 
incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the 
rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole 
time, and he will never be the same.
