Tomkat to welcome Tomkitten in “silent birth”

As some of you know, I do an occasional series at The Reaction called “Signs of the Apocalypse” — signs that our civilization is slip-sliding into self-destruction and oblivion. The series is a break from all my political blogging, but, in the end, the consequences of this decline and fall may be even more dire that the latest hot story coming out of Washington.

Well, here’s another Sign of the Apocalypse:

As you may know, Tom (Cruise) + Katie (Holmes) = Tomkat.

That’s bad enough, to be sure. But now it seems that Tomkat will soon welcome Tomkitten into the world — yes, Tom and Katie are having a baby. And it’ll be a silent birth.

(It’s the end of the world as we know it, but I don’t feel so fine.)
