Cat owners who think their cats control them now have some scientific confirmation: Animal vocalization experts have just identified a special manipulative purr that felines have evolved, in part, to get what they want from people.

This is going to be a very tough sell to Congress. President Obama has the political capital to make it happen, but this will not be easy.

My question is thus: how much will it hurt?

Were a God to exist, he is actively fucking with me.
