Carnival of the Cats #148 is a quick and dirty roundup by Mr. Gato of Enrevanche for your viewing pleasure.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Catmodel of the Week…

It’s Thalia from Athenamama!

Folks who want a shot at being a Catmodel of the Week need to be a part of the banner at Carnival of the Cats. Just send me a 4 by 3 photo of your cat and your weblog link and I’ll add your cat to the banner.

Who knows… you may just see them here as a Catmodel of the Week!

It’s up. It has an interview with Mark Steyn, and the usual cast of characters.

As I said earlier, I’m quite happy with my contribution to this week’s episode. Now to go listen to the rest of the gang.

I really don’t understand how the AP can claim objectivity with a straight face:

Islamic Jihad militants launched homemade rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Sunday in retaliation for Israel’s continuing military operations against their group in the West Bank.

The rocket attacks came despite a two-month-old cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza.

This isn’t even a quote or a paraphrase. This is a direct statement from a supposedly objective news source that states that PIJ, a terrorist group, launched rockets into civilian areas, with the hope of killing civilians, as retaliation for Israel’s tracking down and arresting terrorists. How else do you define the phrase “military operations?”

Nice of the AP to carry the terrorists’ water, though. Shame they refuse to do the same for the good guys.

To post about Carter’s dhimmitude is becoming boring lately. But what can one do when almost every day a new pearl of ex-POTUS wisdom is uncovered:

January 15, 2007 — Has a former president of the United States - a Nobel Peace Prize winner, no less - given his blessing to wanton murder and terrorist assaults against Israel?

Sure looks that way.

How else to read that astonishing statement on page 213 of Jimmy Carter’s new anti-Israel screed, “Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid”?

To wit: “It is imperative that the general Arab community and all significant Palestinian groups make it clear that they will end the suicide bombings and other acts of terrorism when international laws and the ultimate goals of the Roadmap for Peace are accepted by Israel.” (Emphasis added.)

You don’t have to read between the lines here.

Thankfully, no need to comment on this one either.

I’m back on the podcast, which should be up sometime later today.

The subject: The Neturei Karta, the Big Kiss, and actions having consequences. With music! Louis Armstrong! Broadway shows! Looney Tunes!

I am nothing if not eclectic.
