That mccain might choose someone like huckabee isn't totally out of character I do concur 100% with Drezner's reaction.

You know what to do:

• Carnival of the Cats #217
• Weekend Cat Blogging #153
• Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos #44

See tuaw.com for the artist and the source of the cool OS X backdrop.

We'll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and....?

Visit all the boarders, Link to the Ark and check back for updates through Sunday afternoon!

You can board the Friday Ark by submitting your post here, leaving a comment or a trackback to this post or emailing fridayark AT themodulator.org.
