There is a lot of talk about Scott McClellan’s new book. Comments from it range of “now, we know the truth” to “he is bitter” to … oh, who really cares. Just everyone shut up already. If you want, buy and read the book, if not, just quit talking like you know anything.
Here is the [...]

Hey Annalisa from Michigan!
Hope your pooch’s ear is ok. Looking forward to hosting your team at the 2008 adidas Warrior Soccer Classic! We’ll stand in the back of the room, tipping back and getting “sshhhh’ed” at the ref meeting.
Can’t wait!!

As I was lifting my leg to bless the Englewood Independent lying on my doorstep this morning, the front page article caught my eye. So, I bent down to read it before soaking it. The main headline read “Memorial Day: Remembering those who preserve freedom.”
It was a good article about Air Force Capt. Bob Everdeen [...]

Ambulances hurt my ears, but whenever one passes, it reminds me that no matter how bad my day is, someone else is having a worse one. And I say a small prayer for him/her and then a short prayer of thanks for myself. Then, I let all my stress go and slow down.

Spend a weekend watching the news on TV. I did and here is what I conclude.

News anchors are really, really stupid and shallow people.
No news we like means we’ll just make up news
There can only be 3-5 news stories on TV at any one time, REGARDLESS of how many news channels you have in your [...]

Since Hillary’s win in North Carolina last Tuesday, the “news cycle” has been all about how Barack Obama is going to get the “under-educated, white man” vote. After watching news story after news story on this, a very large question suddenly dawned on me:
When did this country get to the point where the under-educated, white [...]

This was supposed to be a post on Obamamania, but I “upgraded” to Leopard last night and now I can’t include an images in the posts, etc using Safari 3.0.4.
So, I had to fire up Firefox, which is really a geeky-looking piece of crap.. but, at least it lets me post photos in WordPress!

Yesterday night, we went for a walk to Mombos and McDonalds and I thought it would be a really cool thing to document the walk with photos. Well, I learned a few things:

A camera phone is not a camera
Bring lots of crap bags (ok, this may have been a one-time thing)
Pay attention to things going [...]

Today, I lifted my leg and peed on a good friend for no reason at all. I knew as I was doing it I shouldn’t be and felt very badly afterwards, but did it anyway. I hope she will forgive me and be patient with me again.

This is Kevin. He is there every morning as we go through the Englewood Tim Horton’s drive-through window. He knows who I am, he knows I like two honey-dipped Tim Bits with my decaf coffee and he is always cheerful. I don’t know if he likes his job, what he does on his day off [...]

As I was lifting my leg to relieve myself on the newspaper this evening, I noticed an article in the Wall Street Journal that said ‘Democrats look to life after Clinton.’ Well, that is an odd thing to say. Life after Clinton? Really?
Hillary Clinton may never become president, but she will become even more [...]

I will never be president. Not just because I’m a dog, or even because I’m a black dog, but because of the animals I have once known and do now know. 
When I was growing up, I used to hang with some dogs who had anti-small dog opinions; very, very strong anti-small dog opinions. We grew apart eventually [...]

I was settling in and almost asleep when some idiot on CNN was railing on and on about how this Clinton/Obama race is tearing the party apart, that it is bad for the Democrats, that they need to heal together to win the election in November. And, then as I hit that level of rage [...]

Ok, I live with some really cheap people. They re-use the plastic bags they get from trips to the store. So, I thought I would rank the bags in order of quality and fitness for “the job.”
#1 TARGET: This is not only a really cool place to shop, but their small plastic bags are excellent [...]

Just a glimpse into how my day went on Friday. Gerard had a meeting out with the Warrior Classic and hotels from 9:00am to almost 3:00pm This is me, feeling very depressed right before he left.

But, he came home, we walked, went to my office and then went to Dairy Queen for a large ice [...]

Hi fans,
Just a quick note to let you know that we have moved from our Blogger blog. It was just way to confining. We are now on a self-hosted Word Press Blog and hopefully, we will have a lot more flexibility!
