Still In Switzerland

Ciao ciao!

We are still in Switzerland, recovering from some plastic surgery and tummy tucks ..um ...i mean the stress of life. We all are going to look fabulous when we return to the states!

Everyone had such a wonderful time at Boo's party. We would like to thank all of you. If you did not attend please do read the posts below for details.

My pet human does not seem concerned about my blog. I feel it should be her most important priority...however she feels that working as much as she can is more important. And that is all she has been doing... well she worries a lot too, so there is not much time for anything else. I think she needs to re-watch The Secret, or take a vacation.

Also there is the small dilemma that the iMac is now in the "office" in the attic and it has been very hot up there. It is not good for the computer and we have been unable to visit blogs that have lots of stuff on them.

The pet human also claims there are ghost in the attic and is scared to be up there after 7:00pm. I think we have been living in Salem too long!

Have a wonderful weekend. We will try to visit. ... if we do not please understand!

We are experiencing technical difficulties and are unable to visit many blogs or post the latest updates on The Pooses for Peace (who are all still in Switzerland).

We are sorry we cannot visit your sites. Our old iMac does not have enough umph to open some of the more elaborate sites with videos, cool graphics, etc.

We are asking everyone NOT to send us any emails with attachments, forwarded emails with other peoples' email addresses stacked up in the cc box.

Have a wonderful week and we hope to remedy this situation soon.

The Day After....

BBC
Monaco

Unconfirmed sources have reported that celebrity cat , Miss Boo of the infamous Pooses for Peace was given a topaz ring by George Clooney, last night at her surprise birthday gala No one knows if it was a generous friendship ring.... or something more serious. Clooney and Miss Boo were seen kissing and cuddling most of the night.

Dignitaries, diplomats and celebrities joined in the festivities for Miss Boo along with hundreds of her cat friends, and members of The Pooses for Peace.

Princess Caroline of Monaco hosted the gala at the Monaco Castle. Entertainment was provided by U2, Bette Midler and The Eagles and other musical friends of the cats.

An "all you can eat ham, cheese and chicken and catnip buffet" was provided by Rachel Ray. Al Gore gave the birthday speech and thanked Miss Boo and her partners Zevo Calamari and Miss Lucy Fur for the fine work the Pooses for Peace had done.

Presidential candidate Cheysuli was there with her bodyguard Jedi cat, Nubi wan Kenobi. Fashion icon Daisy the Curly Cat was seen dancing with Lux and later with Mickey. Kaze, Latte and Chase dined with Jennifer Aniston and consoled her all night as she was distraught about her break up with that John Mayer.

House of Versace provided couture for the cats. A dart game with Karl Rove's face on the board was given as a gift by Mr Hendrix and his twin Bendrix. Bendrix was asked by The Eagles to sing Happy Birthday to Boo. This was their way of forgiving him for trashing a guitar at their last concert.

Sammy, Miles and Billy all part of the Bite and Run & Poot and Run Brigades gave a Special Forces demonstration. Incense had to be lit after the Poot demonstration by Billie. A few glasses of champagne were whapped across the dance floor. No one was injured.

Newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi flew in to Monaco after their wedding this past weekend to wish Boo and happy birthday. " I would not miss Boo's birthday for the world!" said DeGeneres. Later Kilroy , Adan and Fat Eric were seen dancing with the newly weds. Karen Jo was spotted with Tao and Sarge doing tequila shots. Bubba the cat brought Bonnie Raitt as his date.

There were so many cats present we apologize if we have not mentioned them all. Other cats seen were Zippy, Sadie, Zoey, Moki, Mrs Oz, Karl, the Topcats, The Hotcats, and too many more to remember.

The party lasted until dawn and there were hung over cats seen all over Monaco in the early morning. Monaco authorities report that some of the dignitaries invited by Princess Caroline reported missing earrings and bracelets. "Too much alcohol is to blame for this, not those dear cats." said Princess Caroline.

In unrelated news a few pieces of art and statues were said to be missing from the castle.

Miss Boo, Lucy Fur and Zevo Calamari have been seen checking into a clinic in Switzerland known for tummy tucks and youth serum treatments this morning. The cats deny the claim.

Monday

We would like to send a bouquet of poose blossoms and a round of nip-tinis as a thank you to our friends at our cat pictures for featuring Nubi and his acupuncture session. Please visit their site and say hi.

Please forgive us for not being able to visit and say hi to everyone. The pet human is very busy lately and she said she does not have time for luxuries like posting on cat blogs. (I can only say that we feel it is not a luxury but her responsibility to post!)

We hope to visiting real soon. Thanks for all the lovely messages and purrs.

We're back!

We are back from touring with the Eagles. Wow! Pink champagne on ice ! In the long run we really did have a peaceful easy feeling. Though at one point we heard a rumor that... you can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave! (sound of guitar wailing in the background)

Thanks to all those pooses who attended the concerts and the parties.

Nubi is feeling much better and back to being a poose-head. Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses? As you can see i am sniffing him to make sure. He smells like stinky Chinese herbs to me. (Please do not mistake this as a kiss.)

We have not been able to visit blogs this week. (Just leave a message maybe i'll call.)The pet human is working extra and has moved the mac up into the attic office which have been unbearably hot. She said it is like typing in a sauna. We are hoping the weather cools down and she chills out soon.

Have a great weekend and thanks again for all the healing purrs! We will be planning Boo's surprise party real soon. All pooses will be invited. It is going to be quite the bash too!

ciao ciao
people say i'm crazy but it takes all my time...........

Eagles Concert in Boston....

BOSTON - Touring with their first new record of new material The Eagles performed at a sell out concert last night at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston.

Playing to a sold-out crowd of 12,694 (and wearing black coats and ties — a good look, updated without being uptight), the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers — Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit and Joe Walsh — started off with four songs off last year’s Long Road Out of Eden.

However, most fans were waiting for the old classics to be played and went wild when Joe Walsh introduced The Pooses for Peace, as they did back-up vocals for Hotel California and Witchy Woman.

Celebrity cats Zevo Calamari, Miss Boo and Lucy Fur all wore black leather jackets with red Manolos and sported witch hats instead of their usual tiaras. The band sang a get well ditty to Nubi wan Kenobi and announced that they are backing presidential candidate Cheysuli for 2008.

Other members of the Pooses for Peace Bite & Run brigades attended the concert and after parties courtesy of The Eagles. The invite was a thank you to all those cats who purred so hard while Nubi wan Kenobi was ill.

We apologize that we cannot name all the cats however we know that Lux, Miles, Sammy, Billie, Daisy, Mr Hendrix, Bendrix, Mickey, Gemini, Cheysuli, The Hotties, Riley, Tiki, Rex, Kilroy, Boy, Smeagol, Strider, Pixel, China Cat, Meowers from Missouri, Purrageous Pirates, PB & J, ML, Debra, Dragonheart & Merlin, The Cat Realm cats, Kaze, Latte, Chase, Victor Tabbycat, Tazo, the Zoolatry cats, Marilyn Monreow, Tao, Sarge, Bubba and at least 50 other cats a few dogs and Karen Jo were dancing and rocking out to the music. (If we left anyone out we apologize!)

The Eagles have asked the cats to go on tour with them for the rest of the summer.

Zevo Calamari, spokes-poose for The Pooses for Peace issued a statement. "We are honored to join The Eagles on the rest of their summer tour. We thank them for their generosity in inviting all our poose friends as well. We will not be able to blog as much during these next few weeks since we will be so busy. Thank you all for purring for Nubi wan Kenobi this past week. He is feeling much better and acting like a poose-head um.. himself again. "

Thinking the microphone was off Miss Calamari broke out into song
I go to parties, sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
Life's been good to us soooooo far.............................."

Shhhhh.... i am pretending to nap so the pet human does not shove anymore Chinese herbs down me. She can be such a pest with those herbs and needles. And the male pet human keeps making me take this nasty pink oozy stuff. Bleeeeeuck! Leave me alone! Enough!

I am feeling a little better. I am sure it is from all those purrs and prayers from all you wonderful pooses. Thank you so much.

I was allowed on the balcony all day today. Zevo is so jealous that i am getting all this attention. It is fun to see her so annoyed. The female pet human is driving me bonkers with all the worrying. I do hope someone pours her a nice big glass of wine soon.

I hope to be able to visit everyone soon. Please be patient with us. Our mac is really old and some of the cat blogs are just too cool and loaded with fun stuff for it. .. so it crashes alot. (Do you think those herbs and needles could help the Mac?)

Thanks again for all your purrs and love. You are all such good friends!
love

nubi wan kenobi

p.s. I AM NOT JEALOUS! He is faking it .. i am so sure.. he is still a poose-head.

Wookie visits Nubi wan Kenobi

The Mighty Wookie, Zach came to visit Nubi wan Kenobi to bring healing powers of the Force.

Wookies and Jedis are the best of friends. ......Ok .....well maybe Hans Solo was not a Jedi but he did hang out with Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker and the Mighty Chewbacca!

The FORCE is strong with these two. This picture does not do the Wookie justice! He is a very big Wookie.. (part bearded collie and part chocloate lab) The Force is strong in his family. (Pay no attention to the mess behind the Wookie! )

We would like to thank everyone who has been sending healing purrs and good thoughts our way. Nubi went to the vet today. He is OK.. not out of the woods yet, but we are hoping that he will soon pass this critical stage this weekend. He is getting the best of Eastern and Western medicine. We are so happy that our vet is so open to alternative medicine!

I will do my best to visit everyone's post next week to thank you all for everything. Until then... thank you all! We appreciate all the love and wonderful messages you have been sending.

Have a great weekend.

jeanie




I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said


And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you dont give up

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

I won't give up if you dont give up
I won't give up if you dont give up
I won't give up if you dont give up
I won't give up if you dont give up

I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels...........

Thank you all for sending healing purrs and thoughts. I am sorry we have not been able to visit many of your blogs this week. Have a wonderful weekend if we don't get to wish you one tomorrow!

Thanks

Nubi wan Kenobi gets Acupuncture!

I know the needles are hard to see since they are red and the blanket behind me is red too. There are 5 in me!

Today i was just not feeling too good so my pet human gave me an acupuncture treatment and forced me to take some nasty Chinese herbs....... i was very brave too. I even fell asleep during the treatment. She used the laser on me. I did try to bite her when she tried to needle spleen 9... not sure why she wanted to do that or what spleen 9 means... but she massaged it instead.

I am feeling a little better now. My humans are hoping that the herbs kick in soon. None of us want to go to the vet this week. Please send healing purrs our way!

Thanks
nubi wan kenobi

p.s. If you have not signed the petition in the post below please do SOON! It would make us all feel so much better. Thanks

Pooses for Peace Emergency Session Called



An emergency session of The Pooses for Peace was called on Monday night in hopes of urging congress to send Karl Rove to jail.

The celebrity cats had just returned from a birthday weekend with Nelson Mandela and his family and were seen staggering off the plane wearing tiaras and leather jackets in the wee hours last night. Unconfirmed sources claim the cats were hung over.


The cats have had several run ins with Mr Rove, affectionately referred to as Turd Blossom by GWB, in the past.
The cats were accused of several Bite & Run attacks which involved him and many of his cronies. To read about just a few of these incidents click here!

The attacks have been featured on CNN, FOX NEWS, Larry King, The Daily Show and even David Letterman.


Zevo Calamari, spokes-poose for the Pooses for Peace issued a statement:
"It is in our best interest to put this huge slab of porcine butter behind bars. He outed our dear CIA agent Valerie Plame. He lied about the weapons of mass destruction, he was behind most of the dirty deeds done by the Bush administration and he is pure evil. I implore you to sign the petition so that Congress once and for all will do its job. Congress.....Don't make us bring out our Bite & Run brigades." Miss Calamari thought the microphones were off when she said under her breath "Oh God there is just not enough tequila or listerine to get rid of the taste of Old Turd-Blossom.


According to the Credo website which is part of the movement to jail Rove, "
All we have to do is pressure the 40 members of the House Judiciary Committee, make them hold Rove in contempt and send him to jail. We've never had such a direct opportunity to hold Rove accountable. No, this is not enough punishment for his years and years of crimes, but it's a huge start, and will send a very clear message to the entire Bush administration.


Our friends at Brave New Films put together this video to explain the issues surrounding Rove's failure to testify before Congress, and why Rove should be held in contempt and sent to jail. We've teamed up with Brave New Films and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to hold Karl Rove accountable. Check out Send Karl Rove to Jail, and sign our petition to ensure that the House Judiciary Committee holds Rove in contempt."

Happy Enlightenment Day



Today is the Buddhist holiday which celebrates the Enlightenment of Avalokiteśvara, also known in some Buddhist traditions as Kuan Yin. She is the deity of compassion.

Even though Nubi wan Kenobi is a Jedi, he also is a devotee of Kuan Yin and brings her toy mice during his daily meditations.

Namaste!
Spread some compassion today.

Pooses for Peace in Africa


Associated Press

South Africa's elder statesman Nelson Mandela is marking his 90th birthday Friday in a private celebration with his family and friends The Pooses for Peace at his home in the Eastern Cape. The celebrity cats arrived in Africa late last night and will be staying with Nelson Mandela and his family for the weekend.

Mr Mandela made the following comment" If a ninety-year-old may offer some unsolicited advice on this occasion, it would be that you, irrespective of your age, should place human solidarity [and] a concern for others at the center of the values by which you live," he said.

He added that all animals should be treated with the upmost respect and compassion from humans. And reminded those who believe they are superior to animals that they are not.

The Ashram of The Flying Spaghetti Monster

I just arrived in India this morning. My pet human is in a stable mental state and her hot flashes um... i mean ...the heat seems to be subsided. (for now!)

We are at the Ashram of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in Kashmir, India. He is not a Hindu Diety, however the cult has become very popular here. We are lighting incense so that we are blessed by his Noodly appendage. (My pet human is a devotee of the FSM)

The mantra is "RAmen" I guess we are now officially all pastafarians.

Shanti Shanti Ramen!

Pooses for Peace in India..

Shanti Shanti!

Miss Lucy Fur and i have decided to go to India. My pet human is there and we thought we could mooch off um, stay with her. We ran out of food and tequila at the house. It was fortunate she left a credit card for us to book first class tickets to Kashmir! (Of course.. we had to really look for it. It was hidden in a locked safe.)

Zevo had to return to Salem. Her pet human was either having a melt down or was melting. We are not really sure. It is hard to understand what OH MY GOD I AM BURSTING INTO FLAMES means. Is she Moses? (I do know there was alot of crying, and a bottle of wine involved and rumors of tequila.) Humans can be such ninnies!

I do hope Zevo can join us later this week. Nubi is still working as Chey's bodyguard.

We are at a shrine dedicated to the Hindu deity, Ganesha, the Remover of Obstacles. He is also the Deity of good fortune so we are lighting several sticks of incense for everyone!

Later we will go to the market and buy earrings and a sari to match our eyes. These women know how to decorate themselves!

Oh... our masala chicken is here...

Namaste!
Boo-ananda

ps... we are hoping to be able to visit more blogs sometime this week. It has been difficult with Zevo's pet human refusing to sit at the computer in the heat .. or was it a melt down? Thanks for being patient. Om Shanti Shanti

2008-07-09

Greetings from purgatory...

.... or maybe this really is hell?

Since Zevo is visiting Boo and Lucy Fur in San Diego and Nubi is still working as Cheysuli's bodyguard, i need to take a few days off from this computer. As Zevo's slave it is very difficult to actually take time off.

My kitchen office does not have AC. The humidity and the heat have fried my brain cells.

I am sorry that The Pooses for Peace will not be making many comments on other cat blogs or posting on theirs until the weather changes.

I am also sorry to report that the Senate sold out today by voting for the stinky FISA bill that allows the USA to spy on its citizens AND gives the telecom corporations immunity. So maybe this really is hell.

Hoping for a cooler day and better news soon!

Zevo's pet human,
Princess Calamari

p.s. Does anyone know where Zevo keeps that stash of tequila and margarita mix?

2008-07-08

Someone please take this kid away....


Um...like...EXcuuuuuuuse me.... Hello..... is anyone home? I am very busy and important and do not have time to babysit this...this.... wretched um, adorable child.

I have a party to go get dressed for. Boo is expecting me to help make nip-tinis and set out the buffet and Zevo is at the airport waiting for us to pick her up.

I think this cute strapless, Dolce Gabbana dress should do for tonight....hmmm where is my tiara? JUDD you sneaky puppy.... you better take that tiara out of your mouth now ... i said NOW... drop it. Sit. Stay. Go fetch me a nip-tini. NOW!

miss lucy fur

p.s. We apologize for not visiting everyone this week. Besides that fact that we are very busy and important, my secretary is working extra long hours this week!.... Someone has to pay for our Versace and tequila habits.

Zevo call me..............

Ciao Zevo....

Please call me!
My pet human is leaving for India and we have the house to ourselves. And i am thinking.... PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woohooo....

I hope my pet human remembers to bring me back a nose ring and a sari to match my eyes!

Happy Birthday to HH the Dalai Lama

"All sentient beings gave the right to life. It is obvious that mammals, birds and fish all feel pleasure and pain, and that therefore they do not like pain any more than we do. When we abuse animals, simply for a profit motive, even if we leave the Buddhist point of view aside, such action contradicts elementary moral values. "



We will be napping for world peace today!
Namaste,
The Pooses for Peace

2008-07-05

the party continues....


The Pooses for Peace Fourth of July Party continued through the night and is still going strong today.

Special guest John Prine was joined on stage by back-up vocalists Zevo Calamari, Miss Boo and Miss Lucy Fur. Also singing harmony with the ensemble were Miles and Sammy Meezer.

Sing along with John and the Pooses for Peace. This song is dedicated to all you folks who think that wearing a flag pin is mandatory to prove you are patriotic!

Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore
© John Prine

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehead.

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."

POOSE NEWS ALERT!
Tell Senator Obama: Hang up on Big Telecom


We are back from our Pooses for Peace convention early due to this urgent matter. This spying on Americans is getting really old. We are so tired of organizing Bite & Runs for this situation. And we really hope that we do not have to bite Senator Obama. .....However if he caves into the big telecom corporations and the President Chimp will we have no option. Please have your pet humans sign this petition. Stop the spying!

And of course ... this is why everyone should vote for Cheysuli!
xoxoxo
The Pooses for Peace


This week, Senators Dodd and Feingold won a battle in the fight to stop the FISA capitulation. In an attempt to stop retroactive telecom immunity, they delayed a vote on the bill until after the July 4th recess. This buys us more time to shore up the votes needed to defeat the bill. However, it's unlikely we'll succeed without real support from leaders in Congress, most of whom have already abandoned us.

Senator Reid caved in long ago, and Speaker Pelosi folded just last week. There is one leader left who could make a difference and support our cause: Senator Barack Obama.

Back in December, Senator Obama's office released a statement that he "unequivocally opposes giving retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies."1 On Wednesday, however, Obama said in a press conference that "My view on FISA has always been that the issue of the phone companies per se is not one that overrides the security interests of the American people."2

Senator Obama still has time to make this right, but it won't happen unless we all work together to hold him accountable.

The delay in the FISA vote gives senators a new chance to stand up for the Constitution -- will Senator Obama stand with them? Sign this petition and urge Senator Obama to vote his conscience and stand by his previous statement: No retroactive immunity for telecoms. No caving on the constitution.

Deja Vu

Associated Press
Windsor Castle, Merry Olde England

Scotland Yard has reported that Queen Elizabeth is missing her crown. Again! The Queen noticed her crown was gone last night while dressing for dinner. Unconfirmed sources claim they heard the Queen screaming " Bloody HELL.... those damn cats were here again"

Security at the Royal Palace say there were no signs of a break-in or other clues to how the theft occurred. Cameras in the palace were mysteriously turned off on the weekend. The Queen's maids reported that there were fewer mice roaming the wine cellar than usual.

This is the second time her Majesty's crown has disappeared. The celebrity cats, The Pooses for Peace were blamed for the 2006 incident, but charges were dropped when Barney Bush ( dog of W) was caught wearing the crown. Click here to read about Barney!

The Queen still holds a grudge against the Pooses for Peace cats after Miss Lucy Fur began dating her beloved Corgi. It is now rumored that Lucy Fur is dating James Bond aka Daniel Craig, The corgi has been in rehab since.

Spokes-poose for the Pooses for Peace Zevo Calamari (who just happened to be with her friends in England over the weekend celebrating solstice) was asked to make a comment about the incident. " What crown? Queen Who? Bloody shame, luv."

"Time to Draft Pooses"

FOX NEWS

Today at a press conference John McCain was asked how it was possible for the US troops to remain in Iraq for 100 more years, as he predicted in an earlier press conference this year.

His answer ...." When I am elected President of the United States, I will immediately reinstate the draft for all pooses. Pets are not needed here in the good ole' USA. They have it way too good here. They should be serving their country fighting terrorists in oil producing countries. Uncle Sam wants all pooses to enlist. And if they don not voluntarily.. then soon it will be mandatory. Those who resist will be sent to Gitmo. Torture is good for morale. Those damn Pooses for Peace will soon be wearing orange jumps suits as soon as I am sworn in.

After all.. that is what Jesus would want.

Vote for me. I am a maverick."

Zevo Calamari, spokes-poose for Pooses for Peace who is currently in France was asked to make a comment about John McCain's statement. " John McWho? Orange is a horrid color and Jesus would never vote for such a buffoon. Could someone pour me another Nip-tini? "

Love is in the air...........



Unconfirmed sources claim that celebrity cat, Miss Lucy Fur had a blind date this past weekend with Daniel Craig ("Bond, James, Bond"), the gorgeous blonde Brit, thanks to pal George Clooney. The infamous Pooses for Peace founders are staying with Clooney at his Lake Como home in Italy. Clooney was seen canoodling with Miss Boo at a small Italian cafe over the weekend. As a favor to Miss Boo, George set up the blind date.

Miss Lucy Fur met Mr Craig at one of the Bond movie premiers while she was there with the Queen's corgis. she felt the sparks across the room, but he didn't approach because she was being tailed around the room by those little short legged dogs who constantly nipped at him whenever he got near to her. Close friends say they have never seen her look happier.

Zevo Calamari stayed in Milan over the weekend with gal pal Donnatella Versace planning the 2008 fall line. No word has been leaked on who Miss Calamari has been dating.

In other Poose News, Jedi Poose, Nubi wan Kenobi was seen dancing with Queen Amidala at a club on Naboo. His boss, Presidential candidate Cheysuli gave him a few days off so he could celebrate being adopted 2 years ago.

A statement from the Pooses for Peace to other cat bloggers was issued today Because our humans are too lazy to spend time on the computer , which happens to be in the room with no AC, we will not be able to visit much if it continues to be hotter than hell here. um...."Due to the time zone difference we are sorry we may not be able to visit as many blogs this week."

Happy Anniversary Nubi wan Kenobi

As Queen of Naboo i have declared this day, the ninth of June a Jedi Holiday. This is the day that Jedi Poose, Nubi wan Kenobi was adopted by his pet humans. I decree that this is a day of celebration and festivities for all.

May the Force be with you!

Back at Lake Como

Ciao Bella!

We are back in Lake Como staying at George's Italian villa. What a dear man he is, to invite all of us over along with Miss Boo. Now that he and his Hollywood girlfriend have officially split Miss Boo will not have to lie about their relationship to the paparazzi. We are so happy for her.

We decided that Boo and George need some alone time so Miss Lucy Fur and i will be having a shopping spree this weekend in Milan. Donnatella invited us both to pose in Vogue magazine wearing her new Versace summer line.

There is no hurry for us to get back to the USA. Not much going on and we are burnt out from all those Bite & Runs. We need to rest up before the elections. Judd the puppy is making poor Lucy Fur nuts. It is best she can rest here far away from him. Nubi is still working as Cheysuli's bodyguard so he did not come to Italy with us. ... just as well since the Italians don't get the whole Jedi look!

We are sorry if we are not around to visit with everyone these next couple days. With the time zone thing, and all the wine, shoes and parties we just don't want to hang out on the computer ! You are all welcome to come visit us. George has plenty of room. However, if you are part of the Poop & Run Brigade you will have to stay in the stables. So sorry!

Ciao for now!

Coffee Jihad

Early this past May, Dunkin’ Donuts began running an ad on its Web site and others, featuring the celebrity chef Rachael Ray, chef at the trendy spot Hamburger Mary's, owned by The Pooses for Peace. Rachel was holding a cup of the company’s crappy calorie filled iced coffee while wearing a black-and-white fringed scarf.

A few days later, the conservative blog Little Green Footballs posted an item that likened Ms. Ray’s scarf to the type typically worn by Muslim extremists. The blog said that the ads “casually promote the symbol of terrorism and the intifada, the keffiyeh, via Rachael Ray.” Later that day, nutcase conservative blogger Michelle Malkin chimed in, likening the scarf to a keffiyeh and calling it “jihadi chic.”

On May 24, Dunkin’ Donuts removed the ad from its Web site and others — and was promptly condemned by people who accused the company of caving in to conservative bullies.

Dunkin’ Donuts turned down a request to talk about the episode, but issued a statement. “In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design,” it said. “It was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended.”

Last night Michelle Malkin was the latest victim of a Bite & Run attack. While in FOX studios commenting on how Rachel Ray was probably the cause of 9-11 she was attacked by a horde of cats wearing black-and-white silk scarves and a few wearing tiaras. She is listed in stable condition at an undisclosed hospital. Unlike other Bite & Run attacks no jewelry was reported missing.

In another news, the headquaters of Dunkin' Donuts was the latest fatality of a Poop & Run attack. Hordes of dogs, cats and skunks all wearing black-and-white silk scarves ran through the entire building and out before authorities could catch them. The building is closed until further notice. Fumigation teams have been sent in.

Pooses for Peace Spokes-poose Zevo Calamari issued a statement early this morning. " Anyone who believes the likes of Miss Malkin deserves to be lied to. We are calling a boycott on Dunkin' Donuts as they caved in to the wishes of Neo-con terrorists. A round of Starbucks coffee for all!"

Cats and The City

Associated Press
New York

The party premier of Sex and the City took a shocking turn of events when celebrity cats Zevo Calamari, Miss Boo and Lucy Fur strutted in uninvited. The cats were dressed in couture all wearing Manolo shoes with matching purses. All donned tiaras.

To add to the insult of the situation, the cats not only were better dressed than the cast of Sex and the City, but they were also greeted by fans and the paparazzi.

Sarah Jessica Parker asked the cats to leave the party and take their couture elsewhere. Zevo Calamari was heard screaming " How dare you ... you fur wearing stick insect!".

Unconfirmed sources claim a fight then broke out. The cast of the movie are all in stable condition at an undisclosed hospital heavily medicated with antihistamines. Their reps report that all are missing shoes, purses and earrings.

The celebrity cats were seen drinking Cosmopolitans in a swanky Manhattan club later in the evening.

Cat Fight over Clooney?

George Clooney has apparently split from his girlfriend. The 47-year-old actor is said to be “relieved” he is a bachelor again, and felt his one-year relationship with 29-year-old Sarah Larson had reached its natural end.

A source told in Poose Weekly magazine: “George is relieved to be single again. He thinks Sarah is sweet but was very jealous of his relationship with celebrity cat Miss Boo, one of the founders of the infamous Pooses for Peace".

According to a friend of the former Las Vegas cocktail waitress Sarah, George admitted sending Miss Boo a bottle of French Perfume from Cannes earlier this week. Sarah in a fit of jealousy gave him an ultimatum... "me or that darn cat".

George admitted his heart belonged to Miss Boo. Unconfirmed sources claim that later that day Sarah Larson was mysteriously bit on her ankles and knees and had an allergy attack. Her diamond tiara she wore to the Oscars is missing. Sarah Larson moved out of his home that night.

Miss Boo was seen dancing with gal pal Lucy Fur at Mo's in Hillcrest, CA on Tuesday night wearing a stunning diamond tiara. Lucy Fur recently split from an on an off again relationship with one of the Queen's corgies.

Oh la la...

Oh my! Wasn't it so sweet of dear George Clooney to send me this expensive French perfume from Cannes? He is such a sweet man and so supportive. He totally understood that i had to spend the weekend at the Kennedy Compound. I am sure he will invite me to his Italian villa for the summer soon. oh la la!

I really do wish i could have been with him at the Cannes Film festival over the weekend. Then again, he was hanging out so much with Brad and Angelina... and that gets soooo old! How many kids does she need? Really!

So i am back in San Diego. Miss Lucy Fur and i will probably head over to Mo's later for a few drinks. Lucy Fur is single again... after that nasty breakup with the Queen's corgies. Maybe she will meet someone tonight!
Zevo is back in Salem resting up for our next Bite & Run.

So many ankles.. ... so little time!

Happy Towel Day!


From Wikipedia
towelday

"Towel Day is celebrated every May 25 as a tribute by fans of the late author Douglas Adams. The commemoration was first held in 2001, two weeks after his death on May 11, 2001. On this day, fans carry a towel with them during the day to demonstrate their participation and mourning of the author. The towel is a reference to Adams's popular science fiction comedy series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

In honor of Douglas Adams we will be wearing our towels all day and reciting passages from his books.

Tonight Cinema Calamari will be showing the movie The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. All pooses are invited.
We will be serving Pangalactic Gargleblasters and mice crepes. Please bring your own towel.

In honor of Bonnie Underfoot who left us this week we are sending hugs and purrs to all. Pass along a hug today.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Hillary Bit!


Hillary Clinton was the latest victim of a Bite & Run Attack today. Unconfirmed sources claim that a black cat dressed in a Jedi robe carrying a light saber was seen fleeing the scene. Mrs Clinton is in stable condition at an undisclosed hospital.
Mrs. Clinton said "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it."

Presidential Candidate Cheysuli said "Now, should I be assassinated, please do not let Hillary weasel out of it. I know she'll be behind it."

Why Hillary ? asked reporters to the leaders of the Bite and Run Brigade. "Why does assassination have to do with anything? ... dah!!!!!!!!!" said Spokes-poose Zevo Calamari of The Pooses for Peace who is staying at the Kennedy Compound in Cape Cod this weekend.

CNN BREAKING NEWS

CNN BREAKING NEWS

Nancy Grace is the latest victim in a string of Bite & Run Attacks that have occurred in the past few days in major news studios. While rambling on in that whiney voice giving her legal opinion during today's show, hordes of cats dressed in black leather jackets descending upon her biting, scratching and spreading dander. CNN broke to a commercial as soon as she began screaming obscenities about the cats.

Miss Grace is in stable condition at an undisclosed hospital and heavily medicated with antihistamines. During the attack she seemed to have lost a pair of earrings, a Rolex watch and her Manolo shoes. Also during the Bite & Run Attack, another group of cats, dogs and skunks invaded CNN. This latest type of invasion is known as a Poop & Run Attack. CNN studios were closed for several hours and fumigated. Wolf Blitzer was seen walking barefoot to his limousine after his show. Authorities are baffled how the cats were able to pull off such an attack.

Zevo Calamari who is currently staying at the Kennedy Compound with her Pooses for Peace partners, Miss Boo and Miss Lucy Fur, was asked by reporters why Nancy Grace was attacked by her special forces. She responded "Who? What attack? What earrings? I am very busy and important and can't be bothered with annoying blonde whiney women who wear pantsuits........ Teddy, would you be a dear and please have one of your staff bring us over another martini?"

Meanwhile on Cape Cod...........

Associated Press
BOSTON MA

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy gave a thumbs up to well-wishers and kisses to relatives as he walked out of the hospital Wednesday, a day after learning he has a cancerous brain tumor.

Kennedy's dogs, Sunny and Splash, met him at the hospital door. Kennedy was accompanied by The Leaders of the Pooses for Peace, Miss Zevo Calamari, Miss Boo and Miss Lucy Fur, all wearing candy striper outfits with matching pink nurse hats with rhinestones.

Hospital workers and well-wishers greeted Kennedy and the cats with applause. Before he and his wife, Vicki, got into a dark Chevrolet Suburban, he kissed his daughter, Kara, and his niece Caroline Kennedy, and embraced his son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I and thanked all the cats who have been sending healing purrs his way.

The Pooses for Peace will be staying at the Kennedy Compound for the rest of the week.

In other news several Bite & Run attacks were reported by Right wing talk hosts last night and today. A Poop & Run Attack took place at the FOX NEWS studio during Bill O'Reily's show. Unconfirmed sources claim that the entire studio had to be closed and fumigated. Bill O'Reilly had to throw his shoes away and walk to his car barefoot.

Breaking News

We just heard some very sad news about our dear friend, Senator Kennedy. He has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. This is very disturbing.

We always thought of him as our Lion in the Senate... one of us only bigger and louder! He has come to the aid of those who needed him and defended many of our civil rights. One of the few Senators willing to stand up and do the right thing .. kind of in a left way.

(He has bailed The Pooses for Peace out of Gitmo, sprung us from jail and a few other close encounters we have had with Homeland Security, the FBI and the CIA.) For those of you who are new to this blog click here to read about a 2007 incident that our friend Teddy helped us with!

We wish him a very speedy recovery in hopes he can return to Congress soon to kick some butt

The immediate Pooses for Peace staff will be doing round the clock duty at the Boston hospital Senator Kennedy is staying. We will be there to give comfort and healing purrs and head-butts to him and his family. We will have a special Bite Patrol Unit on call to bite anyone who tries to defame him during this trying time. (Yes... all you so called reporters at Fox News better wear your ankle guards!)

We ask all other pooses to send healing purrs and thoughts to him and his family, and his dog Splash.

Get Well Senator Lion!
