FourFour's (and Pot Psychology's) Rich Juzwiak has this cat Winston. You may know of him. He's very weird, in the best way possible. He's barely a cat, which I think — being a dog person — is why I like him. He's kind of like a living Mogwai. But in this video that Rich made of Winston's "noises," he's also kind of a cross between a bird and a magical creature from a Hayao Miyazaki movie. Happy Friday!

Winston got weeded! His owner, Rich Juzwiak of FourFour (and, of course, Pot Psychology), has taken the famous, fuzzy feline to the groomer to give him some relief from the summer heat. Check out the awesome video diary and captioned stills documenting his close shave here. [FourFour]
Have you actually not witnessed the clip of Chris Matthews schooling Kevin James, the conservative talk show host who didn't bother Googling Neville Chamberlain before he went on Hardball to accuse Chamberlain of being Barack Obama's ideological forebear? CLICK THE PIC THEN. Or you'll be condemned to a lifetime of being alarmed by the ignorance of Intelligent. Conservative. Talk Radio. hosts. (Interestingly, if Bush knows anything about Chamberlain it's probably only because historians have likened his own stubbornness to the pre-Churchill British PM's.) (Which would make Obama OUR CHURCHILL, ha ha ha.) Click the pic to watch the clip, read Winston Churchill's 1940 Chamberlain eulogy and discuss how low the dollar would have to get for Obama to say similarly nice things about GWB (perhaps with Dick Cheney as the "wicked man" figure.) And no, it doesn't actually all line up. That is the point.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society decided to delve deep into the family trees of the current democratic primary candidates, and boy, did they find out some weird shit. In addition to Dick Cheney, Barack Obama is distantly related to Brad Pitt, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman, James Madison, Winston Churchill, and General Robert E. Lee. Hillary Clinton is distantly related to Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, Jack Kerouac and Camilla Parker-Bowles. According to the Genealogical Society, "Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769 [and] Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins, twice removed, both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718."

Since Tracie is en vacances and we're missing her (and her videos) terribly, we decided to make do with the next best thing: Put up a new video of her favorite cat, Winston, stuffing his face like the lovable freak he is.

Here's a little Valentine's love letter from internet celebrity cats Rudy and Winston. "Even though the joke is, 'LOL gay cats!!!', I don't actually think that's what's going on. I think it's more like, 'LOL, look at how Rudy helps out his retarded brother.'" Enjoy!
