Took Percy to the vet this morning because her eye looked worse than usual Friday night. We got a different vet this time, and he said she needs eye surgery immediately to remove the eye with a cataract (which is what we’d been thinking already).
She’s scheduled for tomorrow morning and will stay overnight.
I hope we’ll bring home Wednesday a much happier cat, or at least a cat who’s not in pain.
This morning, Ted watched V until 7:30 a.m., then brought me breakfast in bed. (And yesterday, he watched her until after 8. Double husband points.)
For Valentine’s Day, Veronica got Duplos, which she was very excited about. And two new shirts, which she kept trying to put on herself this morning.
And later, we are going to the Patisserie.
Best Valentine’s ever.
According to this editorial, “A?study published in The Economic Journal during the summer of 2008 found that voters preferred extreme political positions to moderate ones. It demonstrates a level of commitment and conviction.”
We get bent out of shape about extremist religions, but we like extremist politics? They’re both dangerous.
It does seem that politics have become more polarized. Of course, it also seems that having an extreme position shows a level commitment to craziness.
Of course, I’m a raging liberal, so I’m probably extremist myself. Extremely anti-right, anti-Fox, anti-Bill O’Reilly, anti-Limbaugh.
To the health care / budget / deficit extremists: I’m all for fiscal responsibility, but I don’t think the Republicans or the Democrats actually know what that means. And I’m not sure the tea party fanatics do, either.
