I thought you were bringing us the news Pakistan actually nuked India :dunno: But no, its the news of a dead cat, ah the modern media dont you just love it. Israel blowing the shit out of Gaza, the economys down the shitter, two wars costing $trillions. But no that can wait we have a nice little segment over here about an 18 year old cat who turns out belonged to the current soon to be ex-president just died. Well I dont know what to say George it was 18 and I'm sure you loved it but in cat years that was 126 years old in our years, its like being surprised the queen mother just died.

I'm not sure why people who run these stories think were all actually this stupid, does anyone really give a rats ass? A cat called India died, any other cat dying doesnt get news coverage are we all so starved for "celebrity" attention (thats what presidents are celebrities) that any old mundane bullshit about their lives interests us at all?

I suppose it does

I didn't think this was going to be about a cat.

Was the cat from India, or is that a word Bush could remember and spell?

I'm here all week. :hatsoff:

i thought you meant the georgous black pornstar India. that would have made me sad.....

 

[Jagger69]

I'm sure all those who have lost loved ones in the war in Iraq grieve deeply for the Bush family tonight for their terrible loss.

I knew this would be a fun thread. I actually wasn't going to post it but I decided that there is too much doom and gloom here so I wanted to lighten the mood.

My first reaction was "WTF???"

After reading the thread, my next reaction was... "WTF???"

My understanding is that its name was supposed to be Indiana, in honor of W's favorite literary hero, but, that, his short attention-span kicked in whilst he was providing a spelling sample for the name-tag engraver. How George of him.
Oglero :eek:

I also got duped thinking it was the ebony porn star India.

This is from the article:

"India was named by Barbara Bush after a former Texas Ranger baseball player, Ruben Sierra, who was called "El Indio," but the cat was called "Willie" or "Kitty" by the family."

I thought this was about the country.
But it's a seperate thread for the Bush's 18 year old dead cat.

And people are actually giving condolences? If it was their own cat? Fine. But Bush's cat?

People dieing all over the world from preventable causes and people are grieving about the Bush's old, dead, subservient quadruped?

Take it's carcass and throw it in the furnace.

But no, there will probably be a million dollar funeral with 4 F-16's flying overhead.

What a fucked up world.

And here I thought I was going to have to recall those lessons on how to duck and cover...

 

[Gordar]

I was shocked... I was thinking about the pornstar/DJ India...

To tell you the truth, I don't give damn about the Bushes cat (or about their potential dog, hamster, pony, cows, etc).

Great post. Could not agree more, and if I could rep ya again, I would.

Coincidentally, I thought India was irradiated as well when I read the title. Glad to see that hasn't happened.
