THE FURRIES WEIGH IN

What We’d Prefer Is A Profit-Minded Corporate Actuary

Well, since the Health Insurance BureauCAT is clearly carrying the drugs, we’ll go with the Health Insurance BureauCAT. Thank you operative “Airbone Toxic Event” — a college boy! — from Rep. Susan Davis’ town in San Diego! One more of his terrifying pictures below.

Ooh, he can spell the big words!

BUT NO, seriously. This is one of the common myths about Ted Kennedy. But when he drove that gal into the water 40 years ago, it wasn’t because he was trying to expand Medicaid to those at 400% of the poverty line!

(Maybe.)

    Medicare haters are pushing for universal veterinary insurance now? Huh. Go figure.

    131 dead teabaggers later, and somebody finally clues in to the importance of putting a vent in the massive feline Día de los Muertos paper-mâché head.

    “No Medicare for Tanning Bed accidents or Skin Cancer caused by Tanning Beds or Extreme Assholishness caused by using Way Too Much Fake Tanner on your Skin.”

    Shorts, is that you with the sign? You take that trolling shit too far, man.

  5. CrunchyKnee says at 11:21 am, August 31st, 2009

    KEEP YUR GOVERNMENT HANDS OFF MY FURRIES!!!!

  6. El Pinche says at 11:21 am, August 31st, 2009

    No “Obama-is-black-man-and-POTUS-and-Im-Drinking-Again.And yes I’m wearing a head visor for girls.” Care!!

    Cathead art: B+ (those eyes are super shifty, yo)
    Cathead intelligibility as a symbol: D+

  8. I always suspected there were ties between the health insurance industry and furries subculture.

  9. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:23 am, August 31st, 2009

    Going to need a bigger litter box.

  10. 4tehlulz says at 11:24 am, August 31st, 2009

    Health insurance is for pussies.

  11. takes12no1 says at 11:25 am, August 31st, 2009

    That fella with that there red sign sure has purty hairs…and legs. Whydja go and cut his purty legs off?

  12. finallyhappy says at 11:27 am, August 31st, 2009

    I am not saying where I will be sometime in the near future but I understand there may be real furries present. I will take pictures and post them- or send them to Wonkette.

  13. bitchincamaro says at 11:28 am, August 31st, 2009

    Golf visors, floopy bangs, and hot pants all spell “health care opinion credibility” in my book.

  14. bureaucrap says at 11:29 am, August 31st, 2009

    I’m sure that guy didn’t make that cat head himself. His mom probably helped him.

  15. nbawriter says at 11:31 am, August 31st, 2009

    Sometimes people confuse political incorrectness with overt douchebaggery.

    Those same people confuse visors with a solid fashion statement, also.

  16. mookworthjwilson says at 11:31 am, August 31st, 2009

    So that guy opposes the death panels telling people they have to drive off the side of a bridge???

  17. Patty Dumpling says at 11:32 am, August 31st, 2009

    Only wealthy aristoCATS can afford their PURRscriptions… never mind, I’m going to make myself sick.

    Oh, and sweet visor, dumbass.

  18. OK, so the health care reform proposal includes a provision that cats will be making medical decisions. I’m OK with that. I’ll just have to be nicer to the cats.

  19. CorkPopper says at 11:34 am, August 31st, 2009

    What’s Kyle MacLachlan doing rocking the short shorts in San Diego? Is this some kinda David Lynch thing?

  20. SmutBoffin says at 11:37 am, August 31st, 2009

    bureaucrap: It is probably just a repurposed Halloween costume, because who would fabricate a goddam cat head just to wear to a fucking public meeting? Dude probably wore it previously to a office party with a badge that said “boardroom fatcat” or something.

  21. nbawriter says at 11:38 am, August 31st, 2009

    BTW: Why does Darren Daulton care about healthcare? He thinks we’re all going up in flames on that Mayan Armageddon date, anyway.

  22. freakishlystrong says at 11:39 am, August 31st, 2009

    Oh goody, we’re moments away from a furrie/birther/deather/teabagger/deathbook
    /deathpanels!!1/NO!/tenther/912er homemade, misspelled stoopid sign. Sigh, these PEOPLE.

  23. Death Panel Wagon says at 11:41 am, August 31st, 2009

    Pussy.

    bureaucrap: Yeah I was wondering what was the original purpose of that cat head–God knows the teabaggers can’t come up with anything that takes more skill and patience than holding up whatever the astroturf farmers give them and/or some poster board with insane scrawlings on them + teabag earrings.

    And today we are all overly tan homeless men with tina turner hair spilling out over our visors. In addition.

  24. Pithaughn says at 11:43 am, August 31st, 2009

    I can say with 100% certainty that guy with the not clever Chappawhateva sign is an off duty engineer. Notice the pen in the shirt pocket. Notice the shirt, rolled up sleeves, does not make sense to wear long sleeved shirt with shorts. This is the way we engineers dress on our day off. See, I wear the last work shirt so that there will be one less shirt to wash. If I have any fashion sense at all it is to be anti fashion as most times it just wastes money to achieve some degree of fashion correctness.

  25. magic titty says at 11:49 am, August 31st, 2009

    Nice visor, bro.

  26. The Sea Farmer says at 11:50 am, August 31st, 2009

    That wasn’t Darren Daulton. He neither exists in time or space. There is only now man. One continuous moment. We are all doing everything in our entire lives at the very same time, all at once. Unless aliens are inhabiting our bodies, and doing stuff we don’t know about.

    My vote is that’s alien darren daulton. the real darren daulton was probably drunk driving in 1994, or was he?

  27. V572625694 says at 11:55 am, August 31st, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Maybe the intent was that health care insurance execs are “fat cats.” Bit of a stretch, true. However, the emergence of giant papier-mache puppet heads should elevate the debate considerably.

  28. Mr Blifil says at 12:02 pm, August 31st, 2009

    What will they do now that the C-word no longer applies?

    Also the deep tan, AC/DC schoolboy shorts, fussy tucked in shirt and faggy belt undercut the impression he seeks to convey of stalwart defender of The Patriarchy. Outraged freedom fighters really shouldn’t be taking the time to “lay out.” I’m even going to go out on a limb and say “tanning booth.”

  29. Speaking (okay, okay, I know. But it’s true) of “fellatio on fornicators, cohabitators, working mothers and other types of fallen women . . . .”

    [That phrase is rather like the Universal Constant or Universal Solvent, you know?]

  30. Snarkalicious says at 12:04 pm, August 31st, 2009

    SmutBoffin: Cathead - Fatcat - Fathead - Eraserhead - The Eraser - Arnold Schwarzenegger - Arnold Palmer - tea/lemonade over ice. Duh.

  31. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 12:07 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Thank god he didn’t decide to be Health Insurance BureauCRAP. How would you construct stink lines and flies– a vital part of any pile of shit– out of paper mache?

  32. great pics.
    i actually stopped eating cheetos and drinking mt. dew in mommy’s basement long enough to drag my ass to this town hall, which occurred just outside HELL, by the way.
    you missed the pics of the “Billionaires for Wealthcare” that showed up and just confused the crap out of the wingnuts. I thought that the Billionaires were a Wonkette sponsored group…maybe it was Acorn?…..

    Any one else a little turned on by that Cat?

  34. Gorillionaire says at 12:44 pm, August 31st, 2009

    My costume will add wads of delicious tuna flavored cash.

  35. teebob2000 says at 12:51 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Is this in support of the healthcare amendments authored by B Kliban? Or against em?

  36. the problem child says at 12:57 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Single payer for all my cats!! (Oh, wait, I am the single payer.)

    Get those lazy cats off their asses and make them work for insurance companies!

    Too many cheezburgers and the kitteh will need an expensive bypass!

  38. Bureaulolcat? ‘iz in ur gubbermint, panelin ur debts’

  39. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 1:26 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Looks less like a town hall event and more like people waiting in line at Disney. Would it kill you crackers to put on a pair of chinos for christsakes?!??!?

  40. Hooray For Anything says at 1:38 pm, August 31st, 2009

    “Ladies and Gentlemen…. the BureauCATs!!!”

  41. Dudes need to learn that unless you’re running a cross-country race, it is unacceptable to wear shorts that end above your knees.

  42. problemwithcaring says at 2:24 pm, August 31st, 2009

    groove: That weak chin, foppish collar and flamboyant interpretation of an exclamation mark points to this person’s secret proclivities. I sense a “toe-tapper” if there ever was such a thing.

  43. dr.giraud says at 2:33 pm, August 31st, 2009

    Are you still a furry if you’re into paper-mâché? Or is there another term?

  44. proudgrampa says at 3:07 pm, August 31st, 2009

  46. Jukesgrrl says at 4:45 pm, August 31st, 2009

    groove: Guys wear short-shorts to non-sport events so they can flash their nuts and pretend they don’t know it’s happening. And the mere fact that he thinks someone would want to see his proves he’s a Conservatard.

  47. hoosiermama says at 7:50 pm, August 31st, 2009

    That top picture is terrifying, but only for the reason that the guys to the left, combined with the sitting woman looked like an arm-hand with claws, and the cat looks like it is about to take a bite out of the dude on the right. Reducing my meds, now, kthxbai.

  48. LoweredPeninsula says at 3:34 am, September 1st, 2009

    “Health Insurance BureauCAT”

    Wait, is this kind of like a CarFax “CarFox”?
