Good boy post.

SUCH A GOOD BOY, MAX! He stayed with his 3-year-old human who was lost near Warwick last night while we frantically searched for her. For keeping her safe, you're now an honorary police dog. 🐶https://t.co/QiszGFP4gg via @ABCNews pic.twitter.com/xxRc6ndeaK

I must have seen this story dozens of times yesterday on the internet, and finally it just wore me down until I posted it.

This is what love is.

What devotion is.

What selflessness is.

Dammit, now I want a dog.

Contender for "Worst Person ever" Tomi Lahren apparently kicked her dog five times during Fox New appearance.

Courtesy of Unilad: 

Bad news if you’re a dog: Tomi Lahren is tired of your attitude. So tired in fact, that she is more than happy to indulge animal abuse in the name of a bit of peace and quiet. Sad! 

Yep, the Fox & Friends contributor has announced she had to kick her dog ‘about 5 times’ during a recent TV appearance . 

Lahren shared a video of her pooch Kota on her Instagram berating the little guy for chewing a bone loudly. 

Now Lahren has since denied that she ever really did this, but if you watch the Fox News portion of the above clip you can actually see when she was doing the kicking. Just watch for her mouth to tense up and her body to bob as she punishes her dog for being a dog.

Boy Hillary Clinton certainly nailed it when she called these people a "basket of deplorables."

I wonder what is next for Lahren?

Drowning a sackful of kittens perhaps?

Great white hunter gets crushed by large grey elephant in Africa.

Courtesy of the Telegraph: 

A South African big game hunter died after being crushed by an elephant cow that had been shot on a game reserve in Zimbabwe at the weekend. 

Theunis Botha, 51, was leading a hunt with clients when the group accidentally walked into the middle of a breeding herd of elephants at the Good Luck Farm near Hwange National Park late on Friday afternoon, Zimparks spokesman Mr Simukai Nyasha said. 

Three of the elephant cows charged the hunters. Mr Botha fired a shot from his rifle but he was caught by surprise by a fourth cow that stormed them from the side, the Afrikaans news site Netwerk24 reported.

He shot these majestic animals in a place called "Good Luck Farm?"

 What, they didn't have any cows he could shoot instead?

This is one of those instances where you have to remind yourself that a man lost his life, and you should not feel any pleasure or sense of satisfaction.

But then you read that the man trained dogs to harass and chase the animals toward him so that he could shoot them more easily, and the struggle becomes just that much more difficult.

So let us mourn the passing of this man, but also remember that he died doing what he loved, slaughtering animals to make himself feel more manly.

Of course in the end he probably felt less like a man, and more like a mancake.

Your stupid gun stories of the day.

Courtesy of Alaska Dispatch:  

Alaska State Troopers say a Nikiski man is dead after shooting himself while playing Russian Roulette Sunday afternoon. 

In an online dispatch, troopers said they were called to a home in Sterling shortly after 4:30 p.m. Sunday where residents told them that 31-year-old John Rutherford had been playing Russian Roulette on the couch there when he fatally shot himself. 

The incident took place in front of Rutherford’s fiancée, troopers said.

The article does not specify that alcohol was involved but this is Alaska, so yeah, alcohol was probably involved. 

And just in case you thought that all this guy needed was some instruction on gun safety, that does not necessarily insure the safe handling of a gun either.

Courtesy of  Florida's 10TV: 

A man accidentally shot himself during a gun safety class at an Orlando pawn shop. Orange County Sheriff's officials did not identify the 23-year-old victim but said the incident happened Saturday at the Instant Replay Pawn Shop and Shooting Range. The Orlando Sentinel reports the bullet grazed his leg.

And hey just in case you thought that the training police received made them more responsible, I beg to differ.

Courtesy of the Columbus Dispatch:  

A Columbus police officer accidentally wounded a 4-year-old girl in Whitehall on Friday when he fired at a charging dog, police said. 

A neighbor and the girl’s uncle identified her as Ava Ellis, who was taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where police said she was in stable condition. 

The officer was at the doorway when a dog charged at him, Alex-Bouzounis said. 

The officer fired once, missing the animal but striking the girl in the right leg. It was unclear whether the girl was hit directly or by a ricochet. The officer has not been identified.

Gee I wonder if the dog was black?

So there you have it, three completely unrelated incidents with individual circumstances, and one common denominator.

But remember what the NRA tells us; guns keep us safe, and more guns keep us safer.

Brave Willow firefighter loses home to the very fire he is fighting to stop.

Neighbor walks one of Leo Lashock's dogs by what remains of Lashock's home.

So last night somebody sent me an e-mail with a Daily Kos link attached and asked me to please post something about this story.

I don't usually take requests, but this time it was my pleasure.

Courtesy of the Daily Kos: 

A valiant and unselfish fire captain in the town of Willow Alaska has been fighting fire, without end, since Sunday. Sometime during the week he realized the smoke he saw in the distance was his own home.... his truck.. his dog trailer. Everything. 

Thanks to neighbors, his 17 dogs were rescued, and were returned to their owner today amid the smoldering ruins of the rest of his belongings. 

His name is Leo Lashock. He's 51. He's a fire Capt , a recreational dog musher. And a hero. If you have a few bucks to send his way, he could use them. And he deserves them. His mailing address (PO Box) is readily available on Zabasearch. To read more about Leo, the Sockeye Fire and the brave firefighters battling it, go to ADN.com. This was posted without Mr. Lashock's knowledge or permission. Thank you. This is the best thing you'll do today. 

As it turns out Lashock's mailing address is not "readily available" however there is a Facebook page for the Willow Dog Musher's Association which has information for those wishing to help out.  

And here is the Alaska Dispatch story about Lachock for those who want to know more.

The poor guy really did lose just about everything, except 17 of his dogs who were rescued before the flames arrived. (Three are still missing.)

I don't often suggest that people send money, and you can respond however you want to here.

However I will say that these people are being devastated by these fires, and it seems especially unfair that a man who has been on the front line since the day they started should return home to find virtually everything he owns destroyed.

Florida sheriff sells "In Dog We Trust" rug for almost $10,000. Proving once again that if you have faith in the dog, good things will come your way.

Courtesy of CNN:  

A Florida sheriff's office has turned a $500 mistake into a $9,650 windfall for charity. 

The Pinellas County Sheriff's office ordered a new rug, which turned up last week with a typo. The large green rug with the black and yellow Pinellas County Sheriff's Office logo included the phrase "In Dog We Trust" within one of its crests. 

It was supposed to read "In God We Trust." The Sheriff's Office said rug manufacturer, American Floor Mats, would replace it. 

That could have been the end of the story except Sheriff Bob Gualtieri had an idea. 

He decided to auction off the unique item -- the "doggone rug," as he called it -- and donate the proceeds to a local rescue.

Ultimately the rug sold for  $9,650.00 and now that money will go to care for animals in a shelter.

It just goes to show that all things are possible with dog.

Seriously I think we have the makings of a new religion here. And I certainly like it better than the ones we have now.

New rug in Florida Sheriff's office accidentally printed with words "In Dog We Trust." I like it.

Courtesy of Mashable: 

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida has gone to the dogs. Well, at least its rugs have. 

Department spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda said Wednesday that a new, $500 rug at the sheriff's administration building said "In Dog We Trust" instead of "In God We Trust." 

The forest green rug with the sheriff's yellow badge was in the entrance area for a couple of months when the error was discovered Wednesday by a deputy. 

Apparently this is being claimed on a manufacturer's error and the Sheriff's office is receiving a new one, with the correct wording, to replace it.

Personally I think that the wording is fine just the way it is.

After all who would you rather trust, your faithful canine companion, or a deity who is well known for ignoring prayers, causing pestilence and disease, and occasionally losing his temper and annihilating thousands, if not millions, of people?

Sure the dog might pee on your carpet, but has he ever caused a tidal wave to devastate Malaysia?

Besides the rug sat in the entry way for months not bothering anybody until somebody hired a deputy that could read. Stupid literate deputy!

Sarah Palin decides to shut those liberal critics up by showing video of her not standing on her dog.

Okay so now we know that the dog is smarter than the Palin children.

Gee maybe she should send THEM to the Puppy Jake Foundation for some learning too.

I bet they could teach Track not use language like this.

"Bad Palin offspring, bad!"

There is also video over at Wonkette of Palin attempting to explain foreign relations. That is pretty entertaining as well, but for me watching Palin attempting to convince us that her dog is not being mistreated is pure gold.

Sarah Palin supporter writes letter on behalf of his dog that I believe is a cry for help. Man I wish I was making this up.

Here is the letter courtesy of Palin's Facebook page:  

The following open letter by "Rex Scholla" was posted to Kevin Scholla's blog at: 

http://www.mamagrizzlyradio.com/the-palin-papers 

AN OPEN LETTER TO JILL HADASSAH PALIN by Rex Scholla (Kevin's dog) 

Hello Miss Jill, 

My name is Rex. My human dad does a lot of radio work and writing in support of your buddy Trig's mom. I'm a black lab too, but I'm a mutt so I'm only part Lab. They think I'm also Jack Russell. Anyway, I'm writing to tell you that I have your (for lack of a better term) back. 

That Trig kid was standing on you I see. Well that hit home! I have a six year old friend too. She's pretty gentle with me. Girls seem to be that way. But she has this brother. He's four and he reminds me of Trig a bit. But if you think you have it bad with Trig on your back, listen to this. He makes me play Batman every day! I have to be Ace the Bat Hound! I'm like "Dude, my name is Rex!" Sometimes I even wear a Bat suit. 

When we're not playing Batman he wrestles with me. If he gets too rough I let him know. Usually a little growl will get him back in line. Every once in awhile I'll scratch him just to get my point across. Humans catch on eventually. The funny thing is I like playing with him. Yeah, I'm their dog but they're also my kids. I'm sure you feel the same way. 

Just like you were adopted by the Palins from the awesome Puppy Jake Foundation, I was adopted by the Scholla family. They found me on a highway, homeless. I was under weight, I had two kinds of worms, my nails were too long. I didn't even know what a leash or collar was. Now, I'm having a blast. I'm a big part of the family. I hear you are too. I'm not surprised. 

I know Trig's grandfather has a cool black dog named Bo who sniffs for antlers. Showoff! Trig's sister Willow spoils her little foo-foo dog. I mean that with love of course. I'm a city guy so I'm not used to prim and proper pups. The point is, you were brought into the Palin family because you are specially trained to help a guy like Trig and be his buddy. You are doing a great job. It looks like that training paid off because you know exactly how to deal with Trig. I bet a lot of that is just in your heart. 

Have a great winter in Alaska. We are both fortunate to be spoiled pups in loving homes. Not to scare you or anything but did you know some people eat dogs? There's a skinny guy in Washington, DC that actually ate a dog! Makes a kid on your back seem pretty pedestrian. Oh, and don't listen to these people saying bad things about the picture of Trig on your back. They have a political agenda. I'm not sure what that means but the guy in the house I mentioned earlier told me that. That one group PETA says they're for dogs and then they go out and kill a bunch of us. Don't go anywhere near them. 

There is a silver lining in this for me. Maybe dogs will be more careful about what photos get out there on the Internet. I don't want anyone seeing me in my Bat suit. Gotta go now. My favorite show Dog with a Blog is on Disney Channel. 

Barks and Licks, 

Rex Scholla 

PS- Did you ever have a Jack Russell aunt or uncle? Maybe we're related. 

PPS- Do they let Labs in the Iditarod?

Okay I have a confession to make. This post is actually so incredibly insane that it broke my irony meter and I am left essentially speechless. 

The only thing I am left to question is whether this is more pathetic or batshit crazy?

Anybody?

Speaking of batshit crazy Palin herself also sent a statement to NBC News:

"They're not attacking me because I showed people a special needs child and his happy, healthy, beloved service dog; they're attacking me because, well, I'm me. So what's new? PETA throws raw meat in front of their attack dogs and says sic ‘em, and we have a choice in how to react to these kind of haters who'll keep on hating," Palin wrote.

Yep, batshit crazy!

Montana man accidentally shot...by his dog.

Courtesy of International Business Times:

Paramedics fought to save man's arm after he was accidentally shot by his dog. 

Richard Fipps, the dog's owner was towing a friend's car after it had become stuck, when he ordered his dog to move from the truck's front seat to the back. 

In the horrific accident, the dog knocked the trigger on the 46-year-old's rifle with his paw. Fipps was shot as he stood in the middle of the road in Montana, Wyoming. 

The injured man was taken to hospital where doctors are fighting to save his arm, although it may have to be amputated. 

"Carrying a loaded rifle in a truck is never a good idea, safety on or safety off," Steve Kozisek, the Johnson County Sheriff said. 

"The rifle was loaded and in the bed of the truck and the dog hopped up there and either stepped on it or caused something to move and set it off," he added. 

Kozisek said it was the first time in his 42-year career in the police force that he had ever dealt with an incident where a pet dog had shot its owner.

Just another example of a good dog exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. 

Gotta love 'Merica!

The Palins get a new dog. Let's hope they treat it better than they do the children.

So Palin's latest Facebook post is about a service dog for Trig. As well as an opportunity to reinforce her support for Jews, and to pretend that she is doing something for her youngest son.

Here is a what her ghostwriter posted:

Happy household this weekend as we welcomed a new addition to our family! Our new four-legged love, Jill Hadassah, comes to us with great training under her collar by our friend in Iowa Becky Beach and her Puppy Jake Foundation, along with Canine Craze in Des Moines. The Puppy Jake charity trains dogs for adoption by our service men and women, including those recovering from PTSD, as well as families with special needs. Jill Hadassah has been trained to be Trig’s buddy, and we’re over the moon to finally have her home! Thrilled, too, because all the rescue dogs and cats our kids have adopted over the years will hopefully learn something from our first dog trained to do anything! She’s brilliant and beautiful, and we feel very blessed to have her. 

Thank you so much, Becky and Puppy Jake Foundation, for working with this tail-wagging bundle of love. We’ll treasure her, as she joins the rest of the current furry members of our family: Lucy, Lola, and Wilson.

Haddassah by the way is Hebrew for Myrtle tree, the name of Joe Lieberman's wife, as well as the name of a women's Zionist organization. Why Palin chose the name is anybody's guess.

I am sure that there is some pro quid quo going on here between Palin and this puppy foundation as Palin does NOT give free advertising for nothing.

I have to admit that I worry about animals that are housed in the Palin compound. There was a little dog named Charlie that ran away in 2012, and a dog named AGIA that I don't think anybody ever even saw.

Of course considering that Sarah is now legendary for poor parenting it would not be at all surprising to learn that the animals are neglected as well.

Well if this dog does manage to stick around perhaps it can finally provide Trig with the care that he so desperately needs. Maybe help him to keep track of his glasses and hearing aids, teach him to chew hard foods, and maybe even help him with his potty training.

After all, somebody has to help the poor kid.

Restaurant employee finds proof for God in eggplant. So THAT'S where its been!

Courtesy of WTSP:  

When an employee at Gino's Restaurant in Baton Rouge cut into an eggplant Monday, he found "GOD." 

Chef Jermarcus Brady couldn't believe what he was seeing. "I saw a miraculous image formed by the seeds," said Jermarcus Brady. "It spelled out the word God!" Chef Brady has many responsibilities, one being cutting, salting and sauteing eggplants. 

"When you sliced into it, the pattern showed from the seeds that were forming in the inside the letters G-O-D as God," said Brady. "I couldn't think of anything. I just had to tell somebody to come look at it." 

Brady says he is no stranger to life's struggle, and his faith has gotten him through. He raised four kids on a limited income before becoming a chef. 

He says the significance of the rare eggplant seeds aren't lost on him. "Through the road, he's showing me that 'hey, I'm real' and that's the only thing I can depend on," said Brady.

Yep, I'm real, I'm all powerful, and the best way I can find to demonstrate that is to rearrange some seeds in an eggplant. 

Boy He sure does work in mysterious ways.

Personally I don't see how we could have doubted him once his son's image showed up back in 2011.

I mean some things are just irrefutable.

Gun nut, and conservative talk radio host, learns that the dog provides more security than the 2nd Amendment.

So apparently this Tammy Bruce woman had a home invader the other day.

She tweeted the entire thing.

I think my apartment is haunted. Seriously.
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Then her dog, Syd, started to act a little nervous.

Oh great, Syd's now *growling* into the living room! :(
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Hmm, Syd's now barking at *the floor.* There's a basement here. Calling police...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Cops on the way. Syd's growling at the floor. I sure hope someone's in the basement. The alternative is a shack exorcism...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Talked to bunch of officers, they're now heading to basement's outside door...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Syd's barking at the floor again, cops yelling something...
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Oh freaking jeez, SOMEONE'S IN THE BASEMENT FOR SURE!!
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

As it turned out it was a homeless person who found the door unlocked and decided to make himself at home.

There was no indication that he wanted to do either the home owner or the dog any harm, but still it is a frightening situation.

Afterward Tammy Bruce tweeted this.

Tweeps, if you live alone having a firearm is good but it won't warn you about the #jerk in the basement. Yay Syd! pic.twitter.com/NeaDNV9fjP
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) April 13, 2014

Exactly!  I have little doubt that Bruce had weapons in the house, as she is always going on about gun rights. However her revolver certainly could not have picked up on the fact that there was somebody inside her home, who may have wanted to do her harm. For that she needed Syd.

In fact with her dog, Bruce really did no even NEED to get her gun.

The dog alerted her to the danger. She called the police, The police arrested the vagrant. And nobody had to get shot.

In other words this is the kind of situation that the NRA NEVER wants to see take place.

So the moral of the story is that maybe owning a firearm will make you feel safe in your bed at night, but a good dog will ensure that you ARE safe in your bed at night.

Sometimes cats are just dicks.

I had a cat once that was a holy terror.

He waited in the hallways for us kids and scratched at our feet as we walked by. Such an asshole.

However our little terrier was taking none of that from a cat and she chased that cat, who was much bigger, all over the house.

But the best deterrent we had against a takeover by the nine cats that my mother had in those days was my dog Kino.

Kino was a 120 pound part husky, part German shepherd, part wolf hybrid and he did not suffer crap from the animals lower on the food chain in any way.

I remember once watching a cat sneak over to his food bowl in the corner while he slept on the floor by the door. It took the cat about ten minutes to finally, slowly work his way over to that bowl.

Once the cat was positive that Kino was too deeply asleep to catch him he started to eat.

But Kino was not asleep. His eye opened and he very slowly rose to his feet, walked up behind the cat, and let go one baritone bark that sent that cat right into the wall behind the bowl.

At first I thought maybe the cat had broken its neck, but it quickly scrambled to its feet and ran up the wall and onto a nearby cabinet, and from there across every surface up off the ground until he had made it down the hallway and away from the terrifying beast.

Kino then sniffed his food and walked over to his former spot to continue his nap.

Jimmy Carr makes a good point.

By the if you are unfamiliar with Jimmy Carr you can visit here, which is a compilation of his best comebacks to hecklers, to be brought up to speed.

Freshly kicked off the Fox and Friends couch, blonde dingbat Gretchen Carlson takes a stab at interviewing Sarah Palin. Kind of like Malibu Barbie interviewing Trailer Park Trash Trixie.

Apparently the new methodology for making Palin appear smarter is to have her interviewed by the human equivalent of a blonde houseplant.

As for Palin she is back to wearing her hideous purple furry collared housecoat, as well as a fake smile and a barely housebroken rodent on her head. In other words somebody pulled her out from under the bed, plopped a hunting trophy on her head, poured a Red Bull down her throat, and tied her to a chair in front of a fake backdrop.

(And action!)

Of course the purpose of this interview is to gave Palin  the chance to pimp her ghostwritten Heritage Foundation love note to Ted Cruz. As well as to attack Obamacare. ("What about Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi!")

The interview is almost impossible to listen to without wanting to rip your hair out (Or at least bitchslap that half dead thing on Palin's noggin.), however here are a couple of Palin-isms that I managed to glean in between the giggling and jaw dropping stupidity.

"United we stand and divided we will fall. And we will fall under Obamacare."

"Obamacare is going to result in a part time employment arena that most Americans are going to have to face."

"This is what we're looking for, some kind of relief for Americans. Idilly (sic) the relief would be the same relief that Congress gave themselves, and that is an exemption from this burdensome,  unaffordable, unworkable, law called Obamacare."

"Obamacare is a disaster, it is a train wreck, it is huge government intervention, I believe it's unconstitutional because it violates the commerce clause, and the Federal government really has no right to tell us what we should, or should not, purchase." (Does she mean like they have no right to tell us we have to buy car insurance?)

"That's why we don't want to just give up and say okay Federal government intervene even more fully in our lives, more than what our Founders had ever intended. For this branch of government to...to..um..be able to  burden us. No we don't give up we..we..we fight for what's right and tart's why we elect those like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, who are willing to stand firm and speak on behalf of we the people."

At the end of the interview Carlson asked Palin if there is anything about her that nobody knows. (You know like faking a pregnancy, or lying about an abortion, or about how and why your oldest son joined the military? Something like that?)

Of course Palin is not willing to reveal anything of any news value. (Dammit!) And instead says that everybody pretty much knows all about her since her e-mail got hacked and everything. (It wasn't hacked!)

However she does volunteer to tell the viewers how her Fox interviews are done.

"Something that maybe viewers would find interesting is the way that we put together these Fox interviews. I'm in Todd's airplane hangar, and Todd is the one manning the camera, and he's behind the controls. And we put a sign outside the door asking the kids to stay out for about fifteen minutes. Don't come knock on the door, we put that sign up, and we also ask the kids to keep all the dogs outside because we've had them wander through once in awhile during these hits and it creates some chaos."

WTF? Does anybody remember a time when a dog caused a problem during a previous interview? I sure don't.

Carlson then asks Palin how many dogs they have.

This kind of catches Palin by surprise, and she fumble a bit before claiming that they usually end up "babysitting" Bristol's dogs and then bizarrely suggests they always have "strays" coming around as well.

Really, taking in stray dogs? Does that sound like something the Grizzled Mama would do?

It sounds to me as if SOMEBODY is once again working to put to rest the rumors that she is no longer living in Wasilla, and is using this hokey story to provide cover.

I wonder what kind of sign she has on her door in Arizona?

California police are taking injured cats and dogs out to the shooting range and using them for target practice. Refer to it as "humane."

Courtesy of CBS Sacramento:  

The penal code has been on the books for decades. Some officers say it’s the most humane thing you can do, while others call it barbaric. 

Officers use deadly force to save the lives of others, but what about shooting severely injured dogs or cats found on the street? 

According to a California penal code, it’s an officer’s discretion, saying in part: 

“…any officer… may, with the approval of his or her immediate superior, humanely destroy any abandoned animal in the field in any case where the animal is too severely injured to move or where a veterinarian is not available and it would be more humane to dispose of the animal.” 

 “No one wants to see an animal lose its life, but if death is inevitable, and it’s just being prolonged,” said Sacramento County Sgt. Jason Ramos. 

That is one thing, and I think we can all see where that might be the best choice. However...

.....Merced Bee reports Merced Police take injured animals to the range and kill them there. 

“That sounds so archaic to me,” said veterinarian Dr. Jyl Rubin. “What a crazy way of thinking, especially with all these rescue organizations.” 

She believes law enforcement agencies that still shoot injured animals should consider creating an alliance with rescue groups. 

“All those organizations need to really come together. There needs to be something finite that way if an animal is injured you don’t take it out on a range and shoot it.”

You know I once responded to a moose hit on the highway. In that case the animal's legs had been shattered and there was NO hope of its survival. The responding officer DID shoot it with his revolver twice to put it out of its misery, but that is substantially different then loading up somebody's bleeding pet and taking them out to the gun range to use as target practice.

There is NOTHING humane about that.

Anybody who has seen an animal, or person, that has been shot, realizes that it is NOT necessarily a humane way to die.  Bullets rip through flesh, and if they do not hit a vital organ the suffering and bleeding will only be increased.

Not only that but try to imagine how a house pet might feel. Laying on the road suffering immensely only to be picked up by a trusted human and carried away. I am sure that they imagine they will be taken care of by the creatures they have come to trust and rely on.

Instead they are taken out into a field and tossed on the ground only to have their "saviors" riddle them with bullets? That does not fall under the heading of "humane" in my book.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate everything about this story.

President Obama proves he hates white people by getting yet ANOTHER black dog. Oh and he named it after an Islamic religious faction as well. The Horror!

Cute dog right?

Wrong! Not if you are a crazed Right Wing racist it's not.

This from the Daily Caller: 

“A Portuguese Water Dog can range in cost wildly. On average, one will pay between $1,400 and $2,000. President Barack Obama has this breed of animal,” according to an answer on Ask.com. 

With the addition of Sunny, the Obamas now have two black Portuguese water dogs. 

The Obamas do not have any white dogs. 

Can't argue with that. Clearly the new dog Sunny, is black. Completely black.

Unlike Bo who had a little white on his paws this new dog is clearly a member in good standing of the Black Panthers. 

And as if THAT were not enough (And seriously how could it not be?) the dog's name is also clearly an homage to the President's secret handlers, the Muslim Brotherhood.

This courtesy of the Atlantic Wire:

Sunny? That sounds sort of close to Sunni, as in the branch of Islam, the religion some conspiracy theorists think President Obama adheres to.

So there you have it. The President's new dog is an all black Islamist Fundamentalist who was probably brought in to help the President establish Sharia law and undermine the Constitution.

 And that makes perfect sense. If you are a crazy person.

Man blows up family dog because it "had the devil in it."

Courtesy of KOIN:  

A father with children in the house who was preparing for “the Rapture” blew up his family’s Labrador Retriever because the devil was inside the dog, court documents showed. 

Christopher Dillingham, 45, allegedly attached an explosive device to his dog and detonated it around 4 a.m. Sunday outside their home. 

Skamania County Sheriff Dave Brown, who lives nearby, said the explosion woke him up. 

“It sounded like a high-power rifle outside my window,” he said. 

A slew of 911 calls sent deputies to Dillingham’s home. They found the remains of the dog strewn about the yard and arrested Dillingham on the spot. 

Documents obtained by KOIN 6 News show Dillingham told Skamania County deputies “the world is going to end” because of a nuclear strike and he was preparing. 

When they asked him why he was throwing items out of his house and onto his lawn, he said he believed “the souls of demons” were inside the metal objects in the house, the documents said. 

His ex-girlfriend, he told the deputies, gave him the dog, named Cabella, and “put the devil in it.” He allegedly told the deputies he made the explosive device on his home work bench using black powder from fireworks. 

He then allegedly strapped it around the dog’s neck and fed the dog treats to keep it from trying to wriggle out of the bomb. He also allegedly told the deputies he stepped behind a wall before triggering the bomb because he did not want to get injured by flying debris. 

The dog was decapitated.

Well it could have been worse I guess, at least he did not think his children were possessed by the devil.

However the fact that there are people in this day and age who actually think that possession by demons and devils is a REAL thing, and who are preparing for the Rapture as if its impending arrival is a reality, should be troubling to EVERY person living in the world today.

This kind of suspension of critical thinking is frightening, ESPECIALLY when you consider that the man is parenting children who are using him as a role model to help them to understand and interact with the world around them.

Without the cover of religion to camouflage this obvious delusional thinking, this man may have received help much earlier, and in time to save a dog who did nothing to deserve its fate.

Final photo of the day.

"You still trust me, right Bo?"

I want to make it clear that I am still on the President's side. I really am.

However I would not be a good liberal, a good skeptic, or even a good American if I did not question the reasons behind this NSA data mining and ask for explanations as to why they were so sloppy in outsourcing the job to an organization that would hire a gentleman like Edward Snowden.

I both respect and admire President Obama, and I STILL think he will go down in history as one of the best president's ever.

That being said I have never been accused of blind devotion to anybody. (Okay well to be honest I HAVE been accused of that before, but that was just by trolls trying to start trouble. Not by anybody whose opinion really matters.)
