Post 366: My cats thank you, Adrian!

Nebraska 3rd Congressional District’s Adrian Smith recently mailed his constituents an anti-ACA mailer. I tossed my copy pretty much unread: Nothing new here!

Franked mail from a Congressman: You and I pay for it, and it is one of the many benefits of office.

It took minutes for the boys to find it and retrieve it from the trash.

🙁 Cats!

Little, sharp teeth make retrieving things from the trash a snap!

Of course, once retrieved from the trash, the boys spent the next few minutes playing “king of the mountain” on it — click back to Post 365, to see Andy claiming the mailer yesterday. http://phainopepla95.com/2014/04/05/post-365-a-rippin-good-time/ 🙂

I retossed the mailer several times, but the boys retrieved it from the trash each time. I gave up: this is the most favorite piece of retrieved trash ever!

I take back all those nasty things I said about you, Adrian. My cats think I was out of line: They love your mailer! Mrow!

The evidence of their enthusiasm is there, believe it!

Bite, scratch, chew! What a wonderful plaything is your mailer! Primo stuff!

Andy’s so impressed, he’s calling off his run for your job. Seriously!

Of course, his campaign poster now becomes collectable, a piece of Nebraska political ephemera.

After all you’ve done for my cats, I should mail you one!
