*** Impossibly beautiful ***
They're Servals
They get up to 26 lbs
BTW, it does bother me that they are in people's homes and not in the wild, where they belong.
OMG!! Aren't they gorgeous??? (For all you cat lovers)

A comprehensive website of cliches (though I prefer to call them idioms)
Fascinating because, among other things, it lists the country of origin (and it's astonishing how many of these idioms originated in the US)

The Biggest PR Myth of All: There’s No Such Thing as Bad Publicity
To those who believe "there is no such thing as bad publicity," I have to respectfully disagree. And I found an excellent article about why it's a myth that puts it much better than I ever could.The idea that theres no such thing as bad publicity is laughable. Its totally insane.
Just ask BP. Do you think they enjoyed being in the spotlight for the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf? Do you think they enjoyed having people boycott their fueling stations? Do you think they thought it was cool that there was a BP oil spill Halloween costume?
Of course they didnt. The company took a massive hit thanks to all of the negative publicity. Theyve already spent millions trying to rebuild their image through a PPC campaign, TV commercials, and more.
And what about Toyota? How do you think all of those recalls over faulty, dangerous vehicles worked out for them? Last time I checked, their sales were down nearly 10%, and their competitors were making huge gains.
Oh, and lets not forget about Tiger Woods. Its been exactly one year since his scandal, and the public hasnt viewed the athlete the same ever since. Thanks to the negative publicity, Tiger Woods lost numerous sponsors, including Accenture and AT&T. You think he enjoyed the negative media attention? You think Tiger feels theres no such thing as bad publicity?
Somehow, I doubt it.

PS This is like shooting fish in a barrel-- there are hundreds, maybe thousands, of stories that
tell the truth about this cretin's countless defects.
Here are der drumpf's endorsements thus far... my, what an impressive bunch
