Rich Germans want to pay higher taxes to help with recovery — MercoPress

A group of rich Germans has launched a petition calling for the government to make wealthy people pay higher taxes. The group says they have more money than they need, and the extra revenue could fund economic and social programmes to aid Germany’s economic recovery.

Who woulda thunk?!

There actually are (rich) sane, generous, unselfish peeps out there. That's very good news. Hope it's catching.

Update!!!

Here's our booth this weekend in Las Vegas!  Woohoo!

This is our booth at the animal advocacy conference in Las Vegas this weekend!!  Our super volunteer, Inge, is 'womaning' the booth wearing her rabbit ears and handing out gourmet vegan cookies from For the Love of Cake here in LA.  To mail order yours email: contact@fortheloveofcake.us  Yummmmmmmmmmy...

And the bunnies have been bugging me to say 'Noserubs!' to our newspaper and cardboard elves who brought in piles: Kristina, Aliza, Nicole and Caroline!  They say they're enjoying peeing and chomping lots. The bunnies--not K, A, N or C.   ; )

(Let us know if we missed any elves.)

Bunny Puts Woman Behind Bars!! No Kidding!

February 26, 2009 - 10:30 p.m. -Bunny Puts Woman Behind Bars - A woman in the UK is back behind bars after she said her child’s pet bunny chewed through an electrical wire powering her monitoring equipment.  She had been in prison for three months for money laundering.  She was banned from leaving her family home in the evenings. But Cuddles (above)  chewed through the receiver unit cable in the house.  She and her husband called the engineer who could see the cable had been chewed.  However, police took her back to prison since they believed the unit was tampered with instead. Someone needs to test the cords for rabbit DNA because Cuddles looks really guilty.


thanks, Inge.  Funny story!

'Cat Poo' Coffee as the Strangest Fundraiser I've ever heard of...

News and Features

London Store Sells ‘Cat Poo’ Coffee for Charity


In London, a unique blend of "cat poo" espresso is selling for £50 a cup, with all proceeds going to charity.

By Kathryn Hawkins. Posted on April 14 2008 Filed under General Interest | Non-Profits | Weird |
coffee

We’re no strangers to strange food. We’ve eaten haggis, that famous Scottish dish featuring sheep intestines, with a side of blood pudding, and have to say, it really wasn’t bad. We’ve done calamari, sushi, and all other manner of exotic sea creature; the worm in the tequila bottle; and even a chocolate-covered ant or two. But no matter what tests we’ve put our tastebuds up against, nothing quite compares to a cup of Caffe Raro.

Not sure what that is? Let us enlighten you: It’s a type of coffee created from beans that have seen the inside of the feline-like Asian palm civet’s stomach - and gone out the other end. In essence: cat poo.

To us, Caffe Raro sounds more like a Fear Factor dare than a drink you’d ever voluntarily order, but shockingly, customers at the Peter Jones department store in London are paying £50 each (about $100) for a cup of the stuff. Apparently, it’s one of the most delicious coffee blends around: The civets are known to hand-pick the best coffee berries for their meals, and of course, the dung residue is washed away before the beans are roasted.

“These rare coffees have been slowly hand roasted for around 12 minutes to ensure that we maximise the potential of each coffee,” David Cooper, who created the Caffe Raro blend, told BBC News. “The final roast color is quite dark to ensure that the espresso is perfect for a smooth latte or cappuccino.”

Customers are lining up to try the exotic espresso, and all proceeds from the drink sales will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, a large nonprofit group in England. So, if you can get past the ick factor, it might be worth trying a cup of cat poo coffee if you happen to be in the area. After all, it’s for a good cause.

Yikes!

Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary...

Day 983 of my captivity...

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now................

Hi everyone!

We have 14 little noses at the annex.  no new kids (yet).  we thought Skaya might go home Sunday but the adopter canceled when the wife freaked bc she thought the 'work' would all fall on her...  bleh. 

lisa is meeting another adopter Tuesday!  She's also meeting with a new volunteer, Diane, sometime this week.  so if you see them, say hi!

Crystal is now an official volunteer with us!  Yay, Crystal!  Everyone introduce yourselves.

And a special giant super scoop of thanks to Nancy Matson who, when two vols suddenly couldn't make it in last Sunday, saved the bunnies by doing all the cleaning herself.  Nancy, you couldn't have timed it better.  : )  Noserubs.

Inge's been at a photo workshop in Mendicino all week.  She'll be back in LaLa Land Tuesday.  We want to see her dramatic new photos...she took Ailin with her too!  Traveling bunny!

Jean Lee has finished our 2010 calendar!  pdf of proofs attached.  so cute...  it'll be available at our CafePress store:  http://www.cafepress.com/rabbitmatch

Aaaaand it's Lulu's birthday this week!

Yeah, I need everyone's birthday.  Please send (or I'll nag you).  ; )

Big hug!

The truth is out...a**kissing is best.

Here is a little something someone sent me that is indisputable mathematical logic. (It also made me Laugh Out Loud.)
Remember, this is a strictly mathematical viewpoint.
It goes like this:

What Makes 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.
How about achieving 103%?
What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23 +15+18+11 = 98%


and


K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5= 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E


1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T


2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G


1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with
mathematical certainty
, that while Hardwork and
Knowledge
will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
it's the Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

and it's mathematically proved!

A Month of Gouda -- IMOM calendar contest needs a bunniy on its calendar!

Yes, you too can have a month of Gouda! IMOM hosts an annual photo contest to pick 12 calendar-worthy pets. Most proceeds go to IMOM, an organization that helps owners with special-needs animals. The first place winner will received 25% of proceeds to their charity of choice, in Gouda’s case Rabbit Match. Out of the currently 150+ animal entries, Gouda is the only rabbit. How this is even possible I don’t know, since on an obsessed-about-my-pet scale of 1-10 (1 being Cruella de Vil, 10 being the crazy cat lady on everyone’s block), rabbit owners usually average a 7. This is a scientific fact.

It’s important for the public to be aware that there ARE more domesticated animal companion options than cats and dogs, and there is a very big need for rabbit adopters in the LA area. If Gouda were included in the calendar as one of the top 12 winners, the blurb accompanying his picture would give exposure to Rabbit Match’s work, and hopefully educate and encourage people to adopt a bun of their own.

You can start voting TOMORROW for #64 Gouda and Rabbit Match, at IMOM.org. gouda hindlegs


Photo taken by Gouda’s ever-loving Auntie.

Let's all vote for Gouda!

a movie worth seeing...

Excerpt from Micheal Moore's interview with Naomi Klein (The Shock Doctrine):

MM: Well, people want to believe that it's not the economic system that's at the core of all this. You know, it's just a few bad eggs. But the fact of the matter is that, as I said to Jay [Leno], capitalism is the legalization of this greed.

Greed has been with human beings forever. We have a number of things in our species that you would call the dark side, and greed is one of them. If you don't put certain structures in place or restrictions on those parts of our being that come from that dark place, then it gets out of control. Capitalism does the opposite of that. It not only doesn't really put any structure or restriction on it. It encourages it, it rewards it...
