You come to Mother Jones for unique journalism, and we love doing it for you—especially at a moment like this. That's really it. That's the upshot of our fall fundraising drive, and we're hoping to raise $250,000 in a much shorter than normal three-week window, by November 5, so we can keep right on doing it. Please pitch in early to help us get there.

Inkblot has been monopolizing cat blogging lately, so this week is Domino’s turn. Today, she expresses her level of excitement over Inkblot’s run for the presidency. She’s pretty unimpressed, and this might be having an effect: Inkblot’s swagger seems to be going the way of Rick Perry’s. He usually makes a mad dash for the food bowl when dinner time rolls around and gets first crack at the kibble through sheer momentum. But this week he’s been…a little more hesitant. And Domino has actually eaten first a couple of times. Is he losing his edge? Or just afraid that oppo researchers will tar him as greedy and selfish if they get video of his usual performance?

Hard to say. And Domino doesn’t care. We’re getting our last warm spell of the season around here, and right now that’s all that’s on her mind. Enjoy the weekend, everyone.
