From the East Wing with Sophia the ACORN Czar and Ghost Hunters at Grand Central Station

Greetings to all, and welcome new friends to the East Wing

Wow ! Did Sophia ever get email last two week. Both on her ACORN visit and her new recruiting group the RCR, (Red Cat Republicans) If last week’s email was any indication of success she may well meet her goal sooner than expected. She’s getting results coming in from Chicago. Talk about a happy cat when she heard that Chicago didn’t get the Olympics. She was watching TV at home and emailed me at the office just to give me the word. That cat just don’t like that mayor of Chicago. Emailed him a map of Brazil.

Several of her emails wanted to know if she had video from ACORN. She does not. But she inferred to me the possibility of some sort of DNA evidence that may exist to substantiate her recollection of those who may have visited the Cat House on the South Side of Chicago.

Sophia has now applied for one of the Obama Czar Positions. She said “they don’t do anything, don’t take orders from anyone, don’t have any background check from congress , just hang out with the President to make him feel good in the presence of weirdoes, and they get paid $172,000.00 per year and get to hire a staff of 10 of their friends at $55,000.00 each”

She took a deep breath and said “After all, I knew him back in Chicago, when he came to the Cat House, I think, but they all look alike to me , those community organizers.”

As she continued “and when I get a Czar Job I’m gona hire Mustina and Gray Lady James, ‘cause the 2girldogs are really good democrats and they’re used to just laying round the house doing nothing, waiting for free handouts. All ya gotta do with the Czar job, just don’t say anything stupid. It’s when ya say or do stupid that gets ya in trouble. One thing these Blue Cat Democrats never learn is that life is hard, and it’s a lot harder when you’re stupid. ”

Ya just never want to get on the wrong side of the rope with a Republican Cat. Ya just don’t.

Several of Sophia’s emails were asking why she didn’t say anything about Van Jones. So I asked her. She said “I didn’t need to say anything ‘bout Van Jones ‘cause he took care of himself. That part I just said bout life being a lot harder when you’re stupid, well Van Jones found that out the hard way, by being stupid”.

Sometimes I think Sophia is made of sugar and spice and razor blades. She can cut ya before ya know it, and always smiles. She just always smiles, and ya wonder is she smiling at ya or for ya.

Happy October ! This month seems to have more drastic changes than most others when it comes to weather, pretty full moon, and change in our surroundings. The leaves all change color and start to fall off. The grass turns brown, if not already so. Birds start to leave for warmer parts of the world.

That little brown eyed friend of my (the hummingbird) is gone for the season. She in late September. As I sat in the East Wing on a Tuesday afternoon, she came to the window, within 2ft. of me. She hovered for a good 15 seconds looking directly into the East Wing. We said our goodbyes for the winter and agreed to meet again when the springtime’s in the valley. I’ll miss that humming bird, that little brown eyed friend of mine.

Took the humming bird feeder down Thursday, dumped out maybe ½ ounce of her special sauce, washed it all up and put it away for another time, another year. When the world starts to turn green, out will come the feeder and I’ll wait the arrival of the hummingbird. When the time is right, she’ll know and she’ll come back again. She’ll hover just outside my East Wing Window to say hello. Only then will the feeder be filled, and hung on the shepherds hook, where she will again dine in the warm sunshine of spring. Together we’ll watch the springtime blossom, me and the hummingbird, that little brown eyed friend of mine.

I may even have a welcome back party. Should I have the party, I’ll invite you for sure. I don’t know anybody that don’t like to see hummingbirds. They’re just special little things, those hummingbirds.

The new babies of the East Wing are doing fine. Like all new babies, eat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep. While Mama Cass fills her days serving breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack, dinner, early evening snack, late evening snack, midnight snack. Ya get the picture. But unlike her first set of babies, this time Mama Cass does not have to fend for herself. She just takes care of the babies and I take care of Mama Cass.

I get the best end of the deal. When was the last time you saw new born babies every day of their life? See what I mean.

I’m sure glad Mama Cass has place settings for six, I was so afraid that she did not have enough place settings or silverware. It turns out that my fears were unfounded. She can serve six quite well. But for sure does not have any room for additional company at this time.

The Angel is trying real hard to be my new best friend. Sophia on the other hand has a few words to say about that, most of which I can’t print here. Suffice it to say Sophia has called the Angel everything except a white cat.

She seems to have strong opinions, that Republican Cat, I was surprised she has not yet weighed in on the health care issue so I asked her why. She said “they’re only gona mess up the doctor, hospital and pharmacy side of health care, they aren’t gona do anything with the Vet side of pet care. That’s my side. So if you get screwed, oh well, But keep in mind when ya get sick and need to see a doctor and ya can’t find one, or ya need surgery and can’t find anyone to do your surgery, call me up, I can get ya in to see my Vet,” as she smiled. I guess that’s better than nothing.

Had several people tell me they were unable to see the full moon of October last Saturday after I gave it such a big pitch to go out and see. Now don’t feel bad, I had the same problem, it was well after midnight Sunday Night before I could see the full moon, and by then it was past being full. Ya gotta keep in mind I didn’t guarantee the weather, just that the moon would be in the correct position when I said it would be, and it was. Now if ya gotta a complaint, take it to the guy in charge of clouds, I was just relating the moon schedule, that all.

I’m not sure if President Obama is in charge of clouds or he has a Cloud Czar. That might be a good Czar Job for Sophia, but I think she wants something more important than just another Pretty Face Czar. Something like the ACORN Czar would be right down her alley. I’m sure at one time she was an alley cat. Plus she has had experience in dealing with ACORN, knows the operation both inside and out. Has had personal and professional contact with some of the community organizers associated with ACORN. Has business property in the home town of the President, in fact in the President’s neighborhood. Yes, I think Sophia is the ideal cat for the ACORN Czar.
Sophia points out a side benefit of her being the ACORN Czar, a cat in the White House. “Bring on that stupid democrat dog” Cats, ya gotta love ‘em. Even the republican ones.

Are you surprised at the speed of autumn? The season changed quickly this year, sometimes October is a warm as September, not so this year. Just over a week and we’ve seen 40° change in temperatures. This Sunday Morning 33°. Welcome Fall !

Good thing Ole Al Gore’s still pushing his global warming thing or else it would have snowed in September. Did ya see in the news that shortly after the last official day of Summer, the National Weather Bureau announced that the Summer 2009 was the coldest in over 75 years. Another thing we hear so much about is the ice melting and the oceans going to flood out all coastal communities and Cleveland Ohio is going to be ocean front property. Well after all the scare talk about the ice melting and all, the ocean has not yet raised any,,, yes, any, and those people in Cleveland haven’t started building piers in their ocean front yards yet either. And that ice melting, some is melting in some parts of the world. In other parts of the world the ice is increasing, increasing at a faster rate than the melting on a worldwide basis.

Do ya believe in ghosts? I’d sure would like to see one. For years rumor has had it that my property in North Judson, Grand Central Station is haunted. In fact two ghosts may reside at Grand Central Station.

Last Friday night three Professional Ghost Hunters came to Grand Central Station. Come Halloween we’re having a Halloween Party at Grand Central Station and the Ghost Hunters are going to present their findings along with a lot of other surprises so those in my local neighborhood mark you calendars for Halloween Evening at Grand Central Station. Halloween Evening dine with the Ghost Hunters. Do you believe???? I didn’t till I met these Ghost Hunters…….

Did ya ever wonder why the nighttime is called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? Orif a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? These and many other mysteries may very well be addressed by the Ghost Hunters, come Halloween Evening.

I’m so glad you stopped by today, your visit to the East Wing has been such a pleasure. Soon we will be visiting in the snow of winter. I look forward to such visits.

Stay safe in Baghdad, South Iraq and Afghanistan.

I wish you well
