This gave me paws

I love word play and, like many people I know, I think kittens are utterly irresistible. But the combination of same on this holiday card from U.S. Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (addressed to me) seems bizarre at best — a target for catty remarks.* 

Card front

  1. TACKY!!!
    Oh my! So tacky! The woman has no taste. I couldn’t bring myself to vote for her. Good heavens, who is her promotions manager? If you want to make an impression you use recylcled paper with an ecological motif, and with a tiny announcement saying that 17% of the sales of this card went to the poor handicapped children in the US.

  2. Huh. Well then. I think it would’ve had a little special something added to it if the break of the wave had had a surfboard and a little pair of feet tumbling through.

    Yeah, I’m just a little mean.

    BTW, have you received anything in your mail or do I have to be ticked off at the Post Office?

    • Pshh…you think she wanted to draw attention to the wave?!?

      I ADORE my HAUTE CD, Barb! I got it earlier this week. Bad, bad manners on my part! (Check your inbox for an email.)

  3. The card might be a bit bizarre but I feel nothing but gratitude since Loretta Sanchez defeated the totally bizarre/unhinged “B-1 Bob” Dornan. That man was so whackadoodle, all other weirdness pales in comparison.
