Friday Cat Blogging – 18 February 2011

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

I’d like to be able to say that Inkblot and Domino are firm supporters of the labor action currently unfolding in Wisconsin, but I’m afraid that would be a bit of a stretch. As you can see, they’ve already negotiated a pretty good deal for themselves, and collective action isn’t really in their nature. So we humans are on our own.

But speaking of cats, I’m pleased to report that 10 Downing Street once again has an official cat. Why? Because, it turns out, 10 Downing Street also has a few official rats. So they brought in Larry. Picture and story here.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
