Catblogging - The Mystery of the Bulge

by Ferdinand T Cat

Ferdy looking at a bulge in the curtain
Even a superior life form can draw an incorrect conclusion, and that's why it's important to be sure of your facts. For example, here we have a bulge in the curtain. On the other side of the curtain is the patio window, through which I would be able to see The Girl Who Feeds Me mowing the lawn. The problem is that there are two possible explanations for the bulge: it could be the result of air rising from the vent, or it could be the Other Cat. The only way to be sure is to poke a paw under the curtain. If someone tries to bite it off, then the Other Cat is in there and she doesn't want to be bothered.


Ferdy posing for the cameraOf course, when you get right down to it, sitting in the window so I can watch The Girl Who Feeds Me mow the lawn is not worth being attacked by the world's grumpiest feline, so ultimately I decided to hunt up one of the twins and have her take a picture of me being gorgeous.

I am a superior life form after all.

Notes from Ferdy - Clarifying Thoughts on Flag-Burning

by Ferdinand T Cat

Our good friend Dumb Ox is seriously riled about the defeat of a constitutional amendment that would have allowed Congress to regulate treatment of the American flag. The problem here is that many years before I was born, the Supreme Court ruled that burning the American flag was political speech, and political speech is protected by the First Amendment.

Of course, the real solution to this problem is not a constitutional amendment. Instead, we need to get the Supreme Court to agree that deploying a high-pressure water hose is also a form of political speech.

Once upon a time, a flag was a symbol with all sorts of sacred rituals applied to it, but nowadays, it's a mass-produced consumer item made in China. It's just not something to get worked up about it any more. Peg-Eye Nate, however, tells an interesting story on this subject. Many years ago, he went to a school assembly with Bruce, and it started off with a pledge of allegiance to the flag. When they sat down afterward, Nate turned to his father and said "Why do you say it like that?" "Like what?" Bruce replied, and Nate said "All dramatic and serious and stuff." Bruce pointed to the flag and said "That flag symbolizes something very important to me."

It's important to me, too. And no amount of desecration is going to change the ideals behind those stars and stripes. The people whose disgust is so great that they feel it necessary to set it on fire have no idea what it's really about.

I think a high-pressure water hose will help clarify their thoughts.

Notes from Ferdy - More MySpace Craziness

by Ferdinand T Cat

You know, at some point people are going to have to accept the fact that if you post information in a public place, anybody can see it. This includes police, NSA analysts, child molesters, and 14-year-old armed robbers.

Two generations ago, stay-at-home mothers glued each neighborhood into a unit where everybody knew everybody else. Without the glue, we slowly became a nation of strangers, where any given address could house a quiet man who never bothered anybody but turns out to have been a practicing serial killer. Now the information age has once again connected us, but it's not the same. On the one hand, you can learn an incredible amount of stuff about people; on the other hand, the people you know all this information about may not exist.

It's time to stop being surprised by all this.

Ferdy amongst a mess
So much depends on your point of view. To Bruce, this array of video game cases, wires, and plastic bags, is a reason to yell at the children about cleaning up the mess after your friends go home. To me, it's a nice place to sit, and since I'm a superior life form, the whole world benefits from my happiness.

I think Bruce would be a lot happier if he'd learn that what really matters is how I feel about things.

Notes from Ferdy - The Whole New York Times Thing

by Ferdinand T Cat

The assault on The New York Times continues to percolate in the wake of its latest leak and NYT editor Bill Keller's defense of same.

This particular leak is another in what seems to be a campaign by the Times to sabotage the Bush Administration's anti-terror intelligence. National Review seems to think this campaign is simply an attempt to personally destroy President Bush, but I believe that view is too narrow. The whole truth is that The New York Times is opposed to all forms of intelligence.

Check their editorials if you don't believe me.

Confused Americans for Truth - The Recent History of John Murtha's Brain

by Ferdinand T Cat

One of the biggest problems humans have is your belief that you are creatures of reason. It is true that your ability to reason is far superior to that of any species on Earth save one, but it is also true that out of the 210 million years of evolution leading to the modern brain, 200 of them were spent figuring out how to learn, and the reasoning thing was by comparison only an afterthought. The result is that while the reasoning part of the brain hums along all unknowing, the primitive part is constantly plotting how to turn actions into pleasurable results.

John Murtha is an excellent example of this problem. You can argue that his early speeches on Iraq were based on a misinterpretation of the data, but the conclusions were at least worthy of discussion, and they were based on a respect for his fellow soldiers. The problem is, while the sapient part of his brain was drafting war policy, the primitive learning parts underneath were forming the equation

(opposing the war) = (huge media coverage)

The first sign that Murtha's primitive urges were taking its toll was his frenzy about an alleged Haditha cover-up. His description in late May of a military rotten to the core was a far cry from his careful, sober press release earlier in the month. Then, in early June, he announced he wanted the Majority Leader job in 2007. This was a bold move, and got him a lot of headlines, but the announcement vaporized almost immediately due to the untimely death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Murtha's response to al-Zarqawi's death was the first concrete sign the reasoning part of his brain had lost control: prior to Zarqawi's death, our poor intelligence resources and lack of progress were proof that we needed to pull out as soon as possible. After Zarqawi's death, however, Murtha announced that we can now pull out because we're making so much progress.

Let me pause to clarify Murtha's position as of June 20

  • If we make progress in Iraq, the job is done and it's time to pull out.
  • If we're not making progress, then the job is too much for us and it's time to pull out.

At some level, the beleaguered reasoning part of Murtha's brain must comprehend that the above two premises lead to the conclusion that our reason for leaving Iraq has nothing to do with the performance of our troops, the mis-steps of the Bush Administration, or even the complexity of the mission. Nonetheless, withdrawing from public view to gather one's thoughts is not possible when the primitive brain demands a fresh hit from the opiate of press coverage. So it is that yesterday, at a humble town meeting in North Miami, John Murtha resorted to the last, desperate refuge of those who have forever left sense and sensibility behind:

Murtha says U.S. poses top threat to world peace

EMAIL Hell - Explain This Ad to Me

by Ferdinand T Cat

Halle Berry Advertising ringtones
Okay, so I'm not completely clueless. I know why this ad contains a picture of Halle Berry in a skimpy swimsuit: it's because she's one of the most beautiful women in the world. But what the HELL bearing does that have on cell phone ring tones? Are they telling me that the ringtones will sound like Halle Berry in a bikini? If Bruce downloads a polyphonic rendition of the theme from Desperate Housewives will it increase the odds that Halle Berry will want a date with him?

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, folks. If they can do this with ringtones, how long is it going to take for Halle Berry to show up with the hot stock tips?

Just when I think spammers can go no lower, they surprise me again.

Confused Americans for Truth - The Fact Someone's a Crook Doesn't Make Their Arguments Any Less Stupid

by Ferdinand T Cat

Today our good friend Dumb Ox has an article about John Murtha's ethics problems. I'm sure Murtha would prefer that we extend to him a benefit of the doubt he himself does not give to the marines at Haditha. Still, it's important to remember that this revelation has no real bearing on Murtha's proposal for early withdrawal.

The truth is that we need to put the terrorists in a position where they'll give up. Fleeing over the horizon is not going to do that. Murtha's recent declaration that we could send a bombing sortie from Okinawa to make our presence felt is small comfort given that we'd have no one on the ground to tell the planes where to unload the bombs. Out of sight is going to be out of mind, and out of mind means the terrorists can step up operations until they've taken away the Iraqi peoples' new-found liberties.

That truth needs to be repeated. Yes, Murtha may have an ulterior motive, and if he is guilty of wrongdoing he needs to be prosecuted, but even if Dumb Ox himself were to come out in favor of the Early Withdrawal plan, it would still be a stupid plan.

Of course, the Dumb Ox would never do that because he's too smart. But it's still an important point.

EMAIL Hell - The Hollywood Intermediate Plot Thickens

by Ferdinand T Cat

I have blogged twice about the spam campaign promoting the stock of Hollywood Intermediate. There have been countless penny stock campaigns via spam over the past several years, and my definitive analysis of the phenomenon is here.

My main focus with my anti-spam pieces is the general goofiness of the spammer message; however, I have neglected the effects of spam on the products being advertised. When you get right down to it, people hate spam, and sending out a million unsolicited EMAILs hyping a hot new stock is going to generate a backlash of epic proportions. Hollywood Intermediate has been feeling the pinch. Not only has the stock been dropping erratically as the spammers pump and dump it, but it has begun to lose customers, and to save its reputation, the company has added an official disclaimer to its web site.

I have nothing but sympathy for the folks at Hollywood Intermediate. This site has been shut down twice due to spam activity, and it's a constant struggle to keep it under control. Though I frequently ridicule spammers, I never lose sight of the fact that they're truly evil people.

Hollywood Intermediate is learning that lesson the hard way.

Confused Americans for Truth - Kerry Needs a Date with the Iraqi Government

by Ferdinand T Cat

Hoping to get more support for an Iraq withdrawal resolution, Massachussetts Senator John Kerry has moved his proposed withdrawal date from December 2006 to July 2007. Kerry has long believed that the Iraqi leadership responds only to deadlines, and they will not fully take control of their own country until we set a firm date.

Kerry's mistake is that he is viewing the world through human eyes, and he sees moderate Iraqis as an inferior sort of people who respond only to threats. This makes them very different from, say, terrorists, who in Kerry's mind respond positively when they feel less threatened. I, on the other hand see both the terrorists and the moderates as humans, and I would never assume that the moderates should be treated like children just because they don't have a history of chopping people's heads off.

I think it's easy for Kerry to treat the elected leaders of Iraq like lazy children because they're not real people to him. What he really needs to do is go over there and talk to them face-to-face. I think he should stand in front of the Iraqi Parliament and explain to them they have one year to get their act together or else. I believe they would have some suggestions on what the Senator could do with his idea. Not only that, I believe that the U.S. military forces in Baghdad would enthusiastically help the Senator implement the Parliament's suggestions. Afterward, I'm sure everyone would have a more positive outlook on the whole war.

I don't see a downside here.

Freedom Watch: NOT A HAPPY CAMPER TODAY

 

Confused Americans for Truth - A Problem with the Democrat New Direction

by Ferdinand T Cat

SPECIAL ALERT

The Democratic Party's New Direction for America is missing. The NDA is slightly under 200 words long and approximately three days old. It was last seen in the company of Don Surber, although sources close to the NDA's mother, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, claim she is more concerned that the plan could have wandered off with a conservative talk radio host such as Rush Limbaugh or Laura Ingraham. Pelosi believes that if Limbaugh or Ingraham were to spend even a day or two with the NDA, they could turn it into a national laughingstock.

Pelosi is extremely worried about the fate of the NDA, and claims she spends every spare hour watching CNN hoping to see some sign of her wayward brainchild.

If you should see the NDA, do not try to read it yourself. The NDA is an important rhetorical tool and cannot be appreciated properly unless it is first interpreted by a qualified media professional or marketing consultant.

Thank you for your support.

Adventures with Bruce - A Paternal Tradition Runs into Trouble in the Modern Age

by Ferdinand T Cat

Being that this is Father's Day, I thought I'd tell a story about Bruce and his children.

It is traditional in Bruce's family that parents are responsible for their children's education. When Bruce was growing up, his father spent many hours explaining the ins and outs of history, politics, and culture. Bruce performs the same function, but it's a different world than it was thirty years ago, and there are some glitches in the general plan.

A typical example is something that happened a few weeks ago while The Girl Who Feeds Me was studying for a history final. She was reviewing the unit about the causes of the French Revolution, and Bruce launched into a discussion of the role of the middle class and the effects of the famine of 1789. After about a minute, she demanded he stop, saying

Dad! I don't want to know the truth! I have to remember what our teacher told us!

Confused Americans for Truth - The Democrats Take Off in a New Direction

by Ferdinand T Cat

I know what some of you are thinking. You're saying to yourself Maybe the new direction is North! They're all going to move to Canada! Sorry, but it's a purely rhetorical direction, and as Don Surber points out, it's not really all that new.

As a service to those of you who do not want to see pictures of Nancy Pelosi, I've included the verbatim plan below.

A NEW DIRECTION FOR AMERICA


Democrats offer a New Direction, putting the common good of all Americans first for a change and will:

Make Health Care More Affordable: Fix the prescription drug program by putting people ahead of drug companies and HMO’s, eliminating wasteful subsidies, negotiating lower drug prices and ensuring the program works for all seniors; invest in stem cell and other medical research.

Lower Gas Prices and Achieve Energy Independence: Crack down on price gouging; eliminate billions in subsidies for oil and gas companies and use the savings to provide consumer relief and develop American alternatives, including biofuels; promote energy efficient technology.

Help Working Families: Raise the minimum wage; repeal tax giveaways that encourage companies to move jobs overseas.

Cut College Costs: Make college tuition deductible from taxes; expand Pell grants and slash student loan costs.

Ensure Dignified Retirement: Prevent the privatization of Social Security; expand savings incentives; and ensure pension fairness.

Require Fiscal Responsibility: Restore the budget discipline of the 1990s that helped eliminate deficits and spur record economic growth.

EMAIL Hell - An Important Step Forward in Email Fraud

by Ferdinand T Cat

In any communication-related enterprise, it's important to be aware of the changing cultural context and the emergence of new technologies.

Realizing that most people know how a Nigerian scam works and are simply too busy to read a long, drawn-out EMAIL, the scammers have come up with a new, more concise way to present their case. Here's an example we found in our inbox today.

I AM RICH BUT SICK I NEED U TO KEEP MY FUND AND GIVE TO CHARITY

The problem is that it has the feel of an instant message instead of legitimate correspondence. As a public service, I'm offering to scammers the right to use the following equally concise but more grammatically correct message which I developed myself.

I want to rip you off. Please reply.

Honesty is the best policy, after all.
