Tama-Chan: Our #1 was a little miffed yesterday because our Monday post ended up publishing on Sunday, even though she thought she had clearly scheduled it. Ah well. It's not the end of the world... On the other hand, we are told that the end of the world may be on its way today...
I like to keep up with world affairs and regularly check the BBC website. Our friends across the Pond are having an election today, it would seem. It is not our business to get involved in other countries' affairs, but we do share the dismay of most Europeans at the hatred on display, and at the "Ayatollah" mindset being shown by some, something which would be considered totally unacceptable over here. We have found The Economist to be intelligent in its analysis of the situation, and all we can say at this stage is may the best candidate win!
Pondering such weighty thoughts requires great concentration...
And serious reflection...
Leading to utter exhaustion!
Those kind of things are very exhausting. Good idea to have a super nap. Have a super day.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check the timezone of your blog - it might be incorrect. :D
ReplyDeleteWe will be voting early this morning!
Sam
We altered our time zone by an hour last week - did that make a difference to your blog?
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
mom saw the post but figured it was a time zone thing - which she is still baffled by sometimes. :)
ReplyDeletemom voted and just hopes the ads end soon - she is tired of it all as well.
Now when Äiti gets the scheduling wrong we just totally blame her incompetence and old brain, but maybe there are some genuine gremlins in blogger.......
ReplyDeleteAnd what a weighty matter you are pondering! We are very happy to be European cats, and have indeed been horrified by some of the things we have read while peering over Äiti's shoulder (while trying to distract her of course).
We will be sleeping away until the results come in, Äiti says it might be another case of hanging chads - whatever that is.
I am ashamed for my country for the campaigns of both candidates. I am also disgusted by the derisive behavior of far too many enthusiastic and outspoken people regarding the election. I wound up un-friending about 3/4 of my facebook friends and family without prejudice. If they were hateful, mean and calling names... off with your head. Very unattractive and mean-spirited. A line from The American Presiden, one of my favorite movies, keeps springing to mind... Sydney Ellen Wade: "How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can't stand Americans?"
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what the rest of the world thinks about this nation. It makes me mourn for the great nation were once were. Truly.
My human is heading to the polling booth today! The whole world is looking at our presidential election with concern (as well they should be), but she is more interested in the local measures and propositions, which REALLY make a difference in her life! Her presidential vote doesn't really matter since she is not in a "swing state," although she is certainly voting for her guy!
ReplyDeleteUtterly exhausting! Oh, how we agree! Soon, we hope to do some reflecting of our own...with our eyes closed. MOL! Purrs...
ReplyDeleteI agree, naps should be enforced today, after voting of course.. but then naps until tomorrow! We don't need minute to minute updates on what one percent of voters have decided... Just tell me tomorrow! MOL
ReplyDeleteSleep well kitty!
I love seeing you two there resting after pondering the troubles of the world and here in particular. Very pensive. xoxox
ReplyDeleteWe're exhausted just WATCHING you ponder. For realz! Now we needz a nap....
ReplyDeleteMom had a very hectic weekend and when your Monday post popped up, she wondered if she had lost a day somewhere:)
ReplyDeletePolitics can be so nasty and so stupid. We hope things go well for Poland (and us too).

Tama-chan, you look lovely, as usual.
ReplyDeleteRe: PollyTicks. Most of us are just stuck where we were born, with little chance of changing things or getting out. Lots of people are hoodwinked over here, not seeing that both parties are two sides of the same coin. And the coin is a wooden nickel.
When all is said and done, a nap is always the best thing :)
ReplyDeletethe amigos and san
Sigh! The Internet gremlins really knows how to muck us up! And everything around here is all about the US election. Me has been sleeping too
ReplyDeleteKisses

ReplyDeleteHave you seen the video on you-tube with the little american girl who is crying and when her mom ask´s her why she is crying she answer that she don´t want to hear another word about Mitt Romney or Barack Obama :)
