30. Safetykitten now has a little theory

Better to just walk away and let Safetykitten play with her little ball of yarn. It is irrelevant and entertaining only to her. Safetykitten will always see a smashing Republican success in everything, Gawd knows why, but once she's got it into her head that X is a Smashing Republican Success, she will spend all day and night insisting on it to anyone who will listen. Walk away now, and you'll save yourself an hour or more of foot-stamping condescension and error.
