>> Post-abortion e-cards

Do not tempt me. My sarcasm glands are about to go hyper.

All the talk about is polls, polls, polls.

We can bypass them easily enough by poll vaulting.

What a huge serving of pride at Luciferian levels the libs must have to think they can out-vote God, but they really seem to think so.

If it sounds like I stuttered, I have a valid excuse. The new cat just jumped on my lap and onto the keyboard.

[8mmMauser]

Actually, it is the cat's first post on FreeRepublic. He isn't very good at it, though.

I HATE it when that happens :-) :-)

The scene was captured by the immortal Zez Confrey in 1921. I hope this is a free sample: Kitten on the Keys

Seems to work :-)

Skritch, skritch, skritch, nice kitty. Better than some of the trolls.

[8mmMauser]

I am going to feed him some lutefisk so he can become a certified viking kitty with powers of zot. (If I can find any, may have to make it myself.)

[T'wit]

>> ... may have to make it myself.)

I was planning to drop by your place for a visit, but on second thought...

[8mmMauser]

Well I may not make it then. But do you like steak tartare? I posted yesterday on its virtues and how to make it with ground raw horse meat and lots of onions and a raw egg. I thought I would be asked for recipes but am still waiting for responses.

I tried to explain how the deep red color shouldn't turn people off. But nobody posted a complaint about that. Nobody posted a response at all! Imagine that.

[T'wit]

>> how to make it with ground raw horse meat

I prefer my raw horse a bit more coarsely chopped, thank you.

What do you call it on the menu, "Mr. Ed tartare"? "Heigh-ho Silver tartare"? I would suggest something a little classier, like "Bucephalas tartare."

[8mmMauser]

Ah hah! You cracked the secret for proper steak tartare. It is not ground like the pedestrian burger, but is chopped or grated. Now, nobody will come clamoring to me for a recipe.

Back in the days when Poland was still controlled by commies, we used to get excellent steak tartare at their embassy receptions.

I would use hippo tartare but people would think I was referring to the teeth of that river beast since hippo isn't used much any more for horse.

[T'wit]

I think we should go into business as equal partners with an ENTIRELY new product. You work on the recipe and I'll stand upwind and drive off curiosity seekers with a shotgun.

So when do we get to see a photo of the new Viking Kitty?

Euthanasia doctor avoids prison

A French doctor has been given a one-year suspended jail term for poisoning a terminally ill woman.

The trial in the southern French town of Perigueux made euthanasia an issue in the presidential election campaign.

The court found Dr Laurence Tramois, 35, guilty of poisoning 65-year-old Paulette Druais, who was suffering from pancreatic cancer.

Nurse Chantal Chanel, 40, who was on trial with her, was acquitted. The fatal injection was given in 2003.

The two women had faced possible jail sentences of 30 years for administering the dose of potassium chloride.

Dr Tramois said that she decided to resort to a lethal injection after Druais had told her that she did not want to die "in filth" the French news agency AFP reported.

Druais's family had backed her decision, but hospital managers had taken the pair to court.

The jury decided that Dr Tramois should not get a criminal record - meaning she can continue to practise medicine.

The injection was administered at a hospital in Saint-Astier, southwestern France.

More than 2,000 health professionals had signed a petition in support of the pair, calling for a change in the law to allow active euthanasia.

A French law adopted in 2005 allows families to request that life-support equipment for a terminally ill patient be switched off. But doctors are not allowed to take action to end a patient's life.

Tough choice. Take care of her so she won't have to die "in filth" or murder her and save everyone the bother. Gee, what would be the right thing to do? The nurse was aquitted, and the doctor got a slap on the wrist and gets to keep her license to practice medicine. Her "punishment" will be easier than caring for her patient would have been. I guess they made the right choice.

Here's something that wasn't included in the other story I posted.

French Doctor Convicted Of Euthanasia, Avoids Jail

The case sparked controversy in France, where more than 2,000 doctors and nurses signed a petition last week saying they had themselves performed similar actions and appealing for a change in the law to allow active euthanasia.

When my uncles risked life and limb to save these cowards, they didn't realize how quickly and eagerly they'd bring back the Holocaust.

I will wait until I catch him fumbling at the keyboard again. Poor thing tried to print out a page and couldn't get past the first menu. I am about to give up.

But he has the markings of a true Viking Kitty, with a lethal set of extra claws, a true polydactyl.

Right now he is sitting above my head on the chair back and reviewing my work. He just exclaimed, "Wow!" If I am lucky I will teach him another word and double his vocabulary. He is super gentle to good guys, snarls at trolls naturally.

One day he just showed up on our porch in the bitter cold, the same spot the big bear showed up about a year ago.

[8mmMauser]

I posted it before but here it is again. A few years back in France, Niort area, we were with an older lady who had a "drinking problem" and who had damaged her liver. She went to the hospital. We visited with her with our friend, a French doctor. She was in bad shape and was non-Christian so we baptized her on her wishes. Our doctor friend mentioned the morphine drip and indicated it was dripping out an unusually high dose. We went to lunch at a restaurant nearby and came back afterward to visit more. She was already in the fridge. They had a free bed, no fanfare.

She didn't have "quality" life so far as the doctors there were concerned. There was nothing to do anymore and they would have been shocked and bewildered at any further reaction from us. She was dying and they simply needed to free up the bed. We were really naive. It was over before we realized it was for real.

From your description, I have to wonder if they're related. ; )
