Friday Cat Blogging – 13 May 2011

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

It’s Friday the 13th! To commemorate the occasion, here’s a picture of a black cat looking….unlucky. Or something. And anyway, Domino is only mostly black. Can a cat with white paws really be unlucky? On the right, we have Inkblot pushing his luck as he climbs up the rose bush in our backyard. There was something on the sidewalk outside our house that attracted his attention, but I don’t know what. Whatever it was, he got bored quickly and hopped down. Hopefully without stepping on a thorn first.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.

Today, reader support makes up about two-thirds of our budget, allows us to dig deep on stories that matter, and lets us keep our reporting free for everyone. If you value what you get from Mother Jones, please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2024 demands.
