Dilemma: Switch seems completely uninterested in the wet food we got for him.

IME, the answer is to have your boyfriend pretend to eat a bowl of the stuff and then feed it to the animal spoonful by spoonful until it is gone, pausing to mimic eating it yourself every few spoonfuls.

Or at any rate, that's what's going on at my sister's house this week. I'm sure it applies in all cases.

Okay, so you're saying I need to find a boyfriend now? I hope S. is okay with this, but he does love the cat, so ...

(Poor Darbs. It's a shame you can't just tell her to relax, you know?)

NYT is reporting that Komen has changed its mind and will maintain PP funding.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would buy a pink gun. Not from the Komen people, but I consider it only a marginal step up from pink wraps or my floral-patterned 6" knife.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

NYT is reporting that Komen has changed its mind and will maintain PP funding.

Yeah, here's the statement:

The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen. We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood. They were not.

Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation. We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh Komen, too late my friends, too late.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

NYT is reporting that Komen has changed its mind and will maintain PP funding.

They say: "After due deliberation, we have decided blah blah focus on the mission blah blah woman power hope! Give us your money and we'll pink up corporate sponsorships."

They mean: "We're getting out ass kicked! Total PR nightmare!"

Barn door ---> horse.

So, we can assume they'll yank the Penn State funding that LeNubian mentioned above? (I won't hold my breath.)

I want someone to pin them down on that one today, and sit back to see how much farther they can backpedal.

OMG! How much bullshit do they expect us to swallow? It was 100% politically motivated. Lying sacks of shit who lie.
