It’s a gruesome day here in the CatBox.  Last night I slept poorly, and when I finally did sleep, I missed doses of Oxycodone.  I am in enough pain, that I would lay down and tell you guys I’ll be here tomorrow if I could, but I can’t.  It’s a grocery delivery day from Store to Door and I have to be up to receive, unpack, and store my order.  on a scale of one to ten my day rating is ARGH<\/strong>!  <\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>In her most explosive claim to date, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accused former President Barack Obama of converting to Judaism in order to obtain lasers.<\/p>\n

According to Greene, Obama\u2019s obsession with lasers was a result of working in the entertainment business, \u201cwhere he is constantly surrounded by laser-owning Jews.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cObama would go to Netflix meetings and be seething with envy of all these Jewish TV executives who had lasers,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s why he converted to Judaism and, according to something I read on the Internet, got bar-mitzvahed.\u201d <\/p>\n

Dang, Andy! Obama??? Space Lasers, even?!!? How could he DO such a thing?!!? Oy Gevalt<\/strong>!!  RESIST the Republican Reich<\/strong>!!<\/font> <\/p>\n
