WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Cats on Capitol Hill are up in paws today after the leak of a report that felines are losing the War on String.
According to the report, the total kitty casualties in the War on String are staggering. 2,231 cats have died in the line of duty, while over 20,000 have been wounded. It is unknown how many strings have suffered the similar fates, however it is estimated that the cats are outnumbered by at least 3,407%. The numbers are staggering, but resolve is not in shortage. Cats everywhere dredge up the courage to get up in the morning, brush the dust off their boots, and head back into battle.
“Yeah, it’s a tough battle,†said a Russian Blue cat who calls himself Percy, after he tackled a piece of string for the fourth time today. “I get out there, and do my thing, but if you take one down, another five come in its place. It’s an endless, tiresome job. But if we don’t fight the fight, who will protect us?â€
Percy has endured his share of injuries during the conflict. In 1999, a piece of string attempted to choke him to death, leaving scars around his neck. Then, in 2001 another string leapt out at him by surprise, causing the cat to jump up and bruise his back on an overhead table. Although he has had no long-lasting disability from this, he knows there are other cats out there that have had it much worse than him.
“It’s everything I can do,†he says, “to go and do what I know how to do best. When we have won this war, then I will rest.â€

<b><!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Report: Chinese Government Ordering Officials to Smoke<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></b>
Monday, May 04, 2009
Officials in China have reportedly been told to puff their way through four and a half million cigarettes a year.
Staff at local government offices in Hubei province were given the order in a move intended to set an example for the rest of the nation, according to state media.
And if they fail to smoke their way through 230,000 packs of locally-produced cigarettes, the officials could face fines.
Brands such as Huanghelou have been earmarked as part of the official quota.
"The regulation will boost the local economy via the cigarette tax," local official Chen Nianzu told the Global Times.
The measure may also be a ploy to boost sales of local cigarette brands, under pressure from competitors in neighbouring Hunan province.
Some 350 million Chinese — including more than half of all male doctors — currently smoke, with around a million dying from smoking-related diseases every year.
<i>On a personal note, I have been a pack-a-day smoker since 1966, and gave it up recently with the aid of an electronic cigarette. No more smoke for me - hooyah !!</i><!--quoteo(post=317489:date=May 4 2009, 07:26 PM:name=Meigger)--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Meigger @ May 4 2009, 07:26 PM) <a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=317489"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->I guess that is one way to kill of some population.
