Recently, the National Republican Congressional Committee published a buzz-worthy post called "13 animals that are bummed about Obamacare." Very buzzy indeed. I wonder where they got the idea from. Cat quite put my finger on it. It's bugging me meow. (Via NRCC.org)

3. Finally! Practical crime-fighting costumes

Short skirts and stilettos are, practically speaking, not the most ideal duds to fight evildoers in.

8. Cat of the Week

Everyone give a polite curtsy to Maggie, the winner of The Most Important Award On the Internet this week. Hey Maggie, there's string on your head. (Thanks, Liz!)
