Ten Fascinating Facts About Cats

People love their pets. Be it a cat, dog, hamster or goldfish, most U.S. residents have some kind of non-humanoid companion sharing their home. According to a survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA), however, cats win hands down when it comes to the sheer numbers that reside in American abodes.

Ken Hubbard is an antique dealer with the company 2wice As Nice in Wheat Ridge, CO, a suburb of Denver. He's also the owner of two cats pictured above: both black American Shorthairs, one is known as Lace (left) and the other is Bear.

"Cats can be fun, intuitive and loving. But they can also have an evil side," Hubbard chuckles. "They have their routines and they can be very demanding. Mine will torment me in the morning until they get me out of bed, with lots of stalking around the room and covers and a lot of meowing."

"Having them in your life can be rewarding, but with certain cats you have to be careful. Sometimes they can be temperamental and unpredictable. It's important you get to know them well," said Hubbard.

If you're a cat lover you've certainly experienced both sides of the coin. For your reading pleasure, we've pulled together a handful of interesting facts about cats:

Sheriff Joe to Craigslist--STOP THE PERVERTS

When Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona isn't cracking down on illegal aliens, he's caring about our furry friends. He spends more per creature feeding his service dogs than he does his prisoners--"they didn't commit any crimes and they work for a living." He also runs the county's no-kill animal shelter, where animals taken from abusive owners enjoy air conditioning in the Arizona heat, while the prisoners live in tents.

Go, Sheriff Joe!

http://www.mcso.org/MultiMedia/PressRelease/Craigslist.pdf

SECOND APPEAL BY SHERIFF ARPAIO

TO OWNER OF CRAIGSLIST:

"POLICE YOURSELF BETTER AND

HINDER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY"

(Phoenix, AZ) His letter may yet again be ignored, still Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is reaching out to Craigs List Owner, Jim Buckmaster, urging him to better police his website wherein, according to the Sheriff, criminal solicitations are posted and then often acted upon.

Arpaio cites numerous investigations his office has conducted in the last two years aimed at ferreting out people interested in soliciting animals for the illegal act of bestiality.

So far, Sheriff's deputies have arrested five people in the Phoenix Arizona area, two of whom were convicted for their crimes. The remaining three were just arrested last week and are awaiting trial.

Arpaio's letter tells Craig's List CEO Buckmaster that the idea of "self-policing' is obviously not working and that the posting of 'terms of use' which claims Craigslist is "not responsible for the content" is woefully inadequate.

Media Contact: MediaRequest@MCSO.Maricopa.Gov

"Buckmaster must accept greater responsibility for his company and stop hiding behind excuses," Arpaio says. "But I believe it is far more likely that Buckmaster will go right on ignoring my pleas to improve Craig's List or try to solve the problems his popular website is causing."

Arpaio says his office will continue to monitor and use the site to locate and arrest people soliciting criminal activity.

Days ago, Sheriff Joe Arpaio says his deputies arrested three people including a married couple and their friend for conspiring to commit an act of bestiality with a male Golden Shepherd mix canine. Arpaio says that the three suspects used Craig's List to find a canine to fornicate with the wife while the husband and friend looked on. Shane Walker (1/24/74) and Sarah Dae Walker (9/25/78), residents of Pinal County and Robert A. Aucker (6/29/82) of Gilbert were all arrested and are awaiting trial.

Last year, two men in two separate investigations were arrested by Arpaio's undercover deputies in a hotel where they came to have sex with a German shepherd. Both were convicted.

Bestiality is not illegal in every state in the country but in Arizona it is a crime. In 2006, Sheriff Arpaio was instrumental in encouraging the state legislature to make the act of bestiality a class 6 felony in Arizona. END

Private organizations can discriminate on any grounds they wish. But don't get cocky. The sheetheads will probably seek to have the association declared a "commercial" venture and thus covered by unconstitutional "civil rights" laws. Maybe--juuuuuuust maybe--this will make a nice test case to get the Civil Rights Act declared unconstitutional.

Tentative victory for the "bear" part of the Second Amendment--in MARYLAND!

To those uninitiated into how such things work:

On the good side: This is a FEDERAL judge explicitly using the Second Amendment to counter a restriction on actually carrying a ready weapon.

On the not-yet-good side: It is just the District court, is sure to be appealed to the Circuit Court, and won't have any real power until upheld. And then it will only apply to whatever federal court district Maryland's in (too tired to look it up) until the Supreme Court upholds it on the same grounds.

It's a start!

Maryland handgun permit provision unconstitutional, federal judge rules

By Dan Morse and Aaron C. Davis, Published: March 5

A federal judge in Maryland has ruled that state residents no longer must show they have a good reason to carry a handgun outside their home, declaring a key provision of the state's gun-control laws unconstitutional.

Gun rights advocates said the opinion — in a relatively liberal state with some of the country's tightest gun restrictions — would help as they challenge similar laws in about a half-dozen states. Maryland officials said Monday that they are seeking a stay and will appeal the decision.

U.S. District Judge Benson Everett Legg focused on one portion of Maryland law that requires residents to show they have a "good and substantial reason" to carry a gun, such as a "precaution against apprehended danger." Legg found that the requirement, kicking in alongside background checks, was too broad and said it violates the Second Amendment.

"The Court finds that the right to bear arms is not limited to the home," Legg wrote in a 23-page ruling signed Friday.

The judge added that the requirement for issuing a handgun permit amounts to a "rationing system" to limit the number of guns carried outside the home. "The law impermissibly infringes the right to keep and bear arms, guaranteed by the Second Amendment," he wrote.

From ACT! for America: Take Action on Senate Open Fuel Standard Amendment

Sent: Monday, March 5, 2012 11:29 AM
Subject: Take Action on Senate OFS Amendment

Visit our News page

*** LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT *** VOICE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE OPEN FUEL STANDARD
AMENDMENT TO THE SENATE TRANSPORTATION BILL!

Dear Lee,

This week, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to consider S. 1813, a transportation bill called "MAP-21." We expect Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) to offer S.1603, their Open Fuel Standard (OFS) Act as an amendment to the transportation legislation (amendment #1657).

The auto industry has been blanketing the Hill in opposition to the OFS amendment, using patently false claims. To counter that message, it is critical that our U.S. Senators hear voluminous and loud support for the amendment from the folks back home. ACT! for America's 185,000 grassroots members can easily provide that support. Will you help us make this impact?

The Open Fuel Standard Act is very much needed legislation—especially at this point in time. With the return of increased gas prices due to OPEC's standard manipulation, as well as the Iranian regime's dangerous game- playing using oil as a negotiating tool, it's time for us to finally sever OPEC's chokehold. The OFS Act will move us in that direction. Brazil has already done it successfully and other nations are moving in the same direction.

While there certainly are numerous valid approaches to transportation fuel independence (most of which we fully support), the Open Fuel Standard legislation is the easiest first step. At zero cost to the Federal Government, and only $70 to $100 per vehicle, passage of the OFS Act will finally provide Americans a choice when filling up their gas tanks—just like we all have a choice for every other product offered to us. It will allow free market capitalism to be applied to the transportation fuel industry—something that currently does not exist.

We must finally cut the cord that keeps us dependent on wealthy dictators and Islamist nations for our gasoline. Further, we must stop funding Islamist terrorists every time we fill up our gas tanks. Passage of the Cantwell/Lugar Amendment is our opportunity to do so.

** IMPORTANT ACTION ITEM **

Please take a moment today to send your U.S. Senator an e-mail of support for the Cantwell/Lugar OFS amendment. Simply click on the Alert titled, "Cantwell/Lugar OFS Amendment" and follow the simple directions!

Thank you for all of your efforts. Together we will achieve freedom from OPEC oil!

REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS!
IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN
ACCOMPLISH A LOT!

Release of textbook review imminent!

Dear Lee,

In about two weeks we will be releasing our textbook analysis report entitled "Education or Indoctrination? The Treatment of Islam in 6^th through 12^th Grade American Textbooks." This report is the culmination of three and one-half years of planning, research, writing and editing.

Here's just one example of what our research found.

When dealing with the 9/11 terrorist attack, the textbooks routinely omit any reference to the fact that the terrorists were Muslims or that they were acting in the cause of Islamic jihad. Imagine textbooks in 1951 teaching about the attack on Pearl Harbor and neglecting to mention that the attack was perpetrated by the Japanese Imperial Navy.

When the report is released, you will be able to view and download:

A 32 page Executive Summary. Early next week this will be mailed to over 70,000 school board members nationwide.

The full report—nearly 230 pages long, painstakingly researched, with nearly 375 footnotes and 275 bibliography sources.

Reports by publisher, in which the books reviewed are sorted by publisher.

These reports will be available on the ACT! for America Education website, www.ACTforAmericaEducation.org.

Stay tuned!

From ACT! for America--Houston: [New post] Defending Shariah in American

No one on the conservative/Right of the political spectrum has more sensitivity toward all different religions than yours truly. All, that is, except Islam. It, unlike any other religiosity today--and likely unlike any religion ever--is at war with America and the West, and its Shariah component is a foreign sedition being introduced into our society. Thus it warrants legal suppression, and its Islamic basis warrants legal restriction.
