Risk as a downhill ski run, Bode Miller style

February 22, 2010

I was reading my Wall Street Journal today, page after page of blah, blah, blah and then I came across this story on page B8. It stopped me dead in my tracks.

I am not following the Winter Olympic Games nor am I really a fan of Bode Miller. I didn’t even read the article, but [...]

Things are uneasy, and leash laws are top of the heap

November 13, 2009

Things are a bit uneasy out there with the average citizens. Anxiety is high, people feel they have little control of their own destiny and they are on edge. Know how I can tell? Is it news of the economy streaming over the 24/7 cable news? Politicians screaming from podium microphones? Former governors hawking tell-all-know-nothing-stir-up-hate [...]

The most offensive Tea Party sign ever

April 19, 2009

The Huffington Post ran a story with some slide shows, showing the most offensive signs at the recent tea parties. As I was looking through the slide show, I found the sign that was the absolute, most offensive one of all. And, if the words on the sign weren’t enough to get you steaming mad, [...]

Obama uses a MacBook Pro?

January 22, 2009

This photo appeared in the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times. Probably others. Thanks Pete Souza, Official White House Photographer. I’m not sure if we can use these photos. Do tax dollars pay for the official White House photographer? Pretty sure someone will slap my paw if I’m wrong.

How we are all connected

January 21, 2009

Today, I heard from a long-time reader who emailed me just to let me know she was still reading and that she had been enjoying the blog ever since she first saw it.
Wow! Whenever I get an email like this, it is truly a humbling experience. Even though the DogWalkBlog gets lots of traffic, when [...]

Congratulations, Mr. President

January 20, 2009

Following that speech, my new resolutions for 2009 and beyond are:
- To reject negative thinking and reject anyone who says, “That is not possible” and seek out those who say “How can we do that.”
- To reject any and all who speak racists comments and to speak up without hesitation, whether friend or not.
- To [...]

Why do we keep eating?

January 17, 2009

Why do we eat? The simple answer would be that if we did not eat, we would die. But that is not entirely true. Science can provide us with a pill we can take that would provide exactly the nutrition we need — no more, no less — to keep our bodies healthy. Yet, we [...]

Another reason people are pissed off on the bank bail-outs

January 2, 2009

I pulled into my National City drive thru and this is what greeted me. I waited for almost 30 minutes before it was my time to send my deposits through the tube-hole.

Hey, banks! Why do you thing the average Joe on Main Street is pissed off at all this bail-out stuff? Use some of the [...]

You suck! Your comment sucks!

December 8, 2008

You write a blog post and post it. Someone comes onto your blog and has an alternative point of view. But, instead of engaging this commenter in a logical argument, you lash out at him, belittling his point of view and then using sarcastic remarks in subsequent comments. Is that smart?
This happened recently to me. [...]

December 4, 2008

I received my copy of Guy Kawasaki’s Reality Check yesterday, wasted a whole day NOT reading it, but when I started, immediately got these three nuggets.
1. Majora Carter. Oh, my god, where has this woman been hiding? Why did it take this long to discover her?
2. A couple days ago, Guy tweeted out this link. [...]

Disappearing males?

November 25, 2008

This is an interesting video and it appears as if males are disappearing. The video concludes that that is is becasue of the chemicals we’re producing, but as a male of the canine species, I’d like to posit another theory:
Mommybloggers
Ok, not specifically mommybloggers, but everything they represent. The mommies have all bonded into this huge [...]

Last Saturday, Mark Lilla, a professor of humanities at Columbia University, wrote an article in the WSJ titled The Perils of ‘Populist Chic’, What the rise of Sarah Palin and populism means for the conservative intellectual tradition. It was well-thought out and objectively argued. In short, it explains why presidential candidates need to go bowling and drinking [...]

I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. So do hundreds of my neighbors and I know exactly who they are.
The WSJ gets delivered to my front door every morning by a carrier with the Dayton Daily News. About a year ago, I noticed that the mailing label in the upper right hand corner of my copy of [...]
