Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue. But this war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises. It’s what our democracy demands. ~ BARACK OBAMA
Panda was a big galoot of a kitty with the demeanor of a Buddha and a coat so thick that you could lose a catnip mouse in it. Kiko, namesake of Kiko's House, was mentored by the ever patient Panda as a little kitty, which may help explain her beatific disposition.
That's Panda at the feet of the Dear Friend & Conscience and Kiko at her side in this 1998 photograph. Panda went to the Big Catbox in the Sky in 2002 at age 10, while Kiko passed on last year.
Shaun Mullen was born to blog. It just took a few years for the medium to catch up to the messenger. Over a long career with newspapers, this award-winning editor and reporter covered the Vietnam War, O.J. Simpson trials, Clinton impeachment circus and coming of Osama bin Laden, among many other big stories. Mullen also mentored reporters who went on to be the best in the newspaper and television business, including two who won Pulitzer Prizes in 2010. He is the author of "The Bottom of the Fox: A True Story of Love, Devotion & Cold-Blooded Murder" and the forthcoming "Brothers At Arms." His next book will be "There's A House In The Land," a tale of the 1970s.
