I'm not pro-Palestine but I, an American Jew, am willing to point out the stupid, self-destructive, inflammatory things Israel's insane right-wing have done that have only made the peace process nigh impossible. (IR degrees FTW, btw). So I'm definitely about the nuance in a complicated land and cultural conflict. What…

Try to hit the nooks and crannies with the spray. The real linchpin is treating the cat: any fleas that hatch (which is a slight possibility) will bit him and die, courtesy of the Revolution. That's assuming they survive their journey out of the nooks and crannies, past the spray.

That's not so bad. If he *just* went to the vet, then there are only likely a few and they may not have had time to reproduce yet. Revolution starts killing them in ~36h (I read the leaflet with the tiny print.) I only ever found about 10 fleas on my guy, but I did find a bunch (15+) of dead ones around once I…

Fleas are a huge pain but not impossible. Here's some hard won advice from when my kitty brought them home:
1. Don't bother with home remedies. They don't work. I wasted so much time and effort with baking soda and plain vaccuuming... just buy the spray and get it over with. I had a good experience with this stuff from…

I love cats AND Jon's big trouser snake, very visible at 0:27....

Wait, this is real?? WTF??

My recollection is that this Publisher's Clearinghouse nonsense more or less requried you to buy their trinkets and crap, but who knows— maybe they just make it look like you have to buy something, and intentionally confuse people? Either way, it's a scam and I'm shocked it's been allowed to go on so long.

These sweepstakes are such a scam. They bilked my grandfather out of thousands of dollars, which he forked over for overpriced trinkets and cheap crap from China thinking he'd be entered into some multi-million dollar lottery. Total scam. How are they even still allowed to do this??

BUT I WANT TO BE HYSTERICAL AND PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!1!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG TEH EBOLA IZ GONNA GET ME!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!

I think O'Hare has one on the secure side but I'm not sure. Maybe National (DCA) too. I've never traveled by air with Runnerkitteh so I haven't really needed to investigate that closely...

Some airports have both of these (O'Hare in Chicago comes to mind) but the smoking areas are really going the way of the dodo. (I used to smoke so I still notice these things.) Most airports have pet relief areas, though, especially ones that are hubs or semi-hubs. (I'm a cat owner so I do wonder how that would work,…

I did this once on Southwest: Baltimore - Birmingham, AL - New Orleans. We weren't allowed to get off the plane in Mobile but the stop was only like 15 min. On the way back from NOLA, my friends and I were too "happy" to even notice, lol.

Somalia is lovely this time of year; you should check it out, since it is your paradise...

I'd point out that the health authorities in the stricken countries know exactly what to do to stop Ebola, they just don't have the funds or supplies to do it well or at the capacity required. Nigeria managed to stop its 1 or 2 cases from turning into an epidemic. So reporting that the worst affected places are the…

Not outside the Fox Noise bubble, actually.

You can get scabies from a towel! That's how I gave them to a roommate when I had them from an ill-washed thrift store find.

Who thinks this? Horny teen girls with no comprehension skills?

"If you're going to kill anyone, kill the mother! Oh, I know what you're going to say: if you kill the mother then the fetus will die too! But it was going to be aborted anyway, so it can go down with the ship!"

Dump the motherfucker already. You don't need that shit. (And look into the resources for those caring for those with ALS. Being a caregiver is extremely taxing, even if you're used to it.)
