Labradors? Putin’s got a labbie? Damn, poor dog!

Labs are not mean dogs. Scottish terriers are big in moxie, and would probably boss a lab around, paws down.

This is in no way to be construed as possible endorsment or commentary on the owners . Both dogs would likely do better rehomed with other families

I’m sure Putin wasn’t talking about the dogs. Though I do wonder if W got the message.

The other thing I’d like to add is that if Hillary wins, it will mean two families will have controlled the White House since the late 80s. Gawd, I am getting tired of this movie…

But of course I must add the standard disclaimer: I will vote for whoever the democrat is, even Mrs Triangulator.

“I have no idea what we can expect from Obama”

Nice. I have nothing to add.

So an appeal to REALITY, in the face of Barack Oblique’s empty sermonizing, is a “calculated attempt to encourage cynicism”? If by "reality" you mean we can expect no more from our government than a few mildly progressive mini-tweaks of conservative policies, then you can have reality. I don't think the nation can survive much more reality. I wrote in the last post that I have no idea what we can expect from Obama, and if elected he may well prove to be a massive disappointment. But we do know, I think, what we can expect from Clinton if she's elected. And it's not good enough.

Oy vey. Reality = cynicism???

Sounds like we’re in for another era of faith-based nonsense, if Senator Oblique wins.

Did you watch the “debates” last night, Maha?
Charlie Gibson’s question was ” you get solid intelligence about Bin Laden’s where abouts in the mountains of Pakistan. Would you send in forces?

Obama and Edwards would send in the military.
Hillary mentions predators and air strikes, she’s the “Die hard with a vengence” candidate.

Richardson would try diplomacy.

Now call me silly, but I’d put a f’in wall around the place and call it good. BinLaden and his boys snug as a bug in the high country of Pakistan, no way in or out. No body gets hurt, they are in their medieval abode. Not quite the action hero way, but we see where that has gotten us.

…ooo. meaner. Now *that’s* a quality to look for in a dog…and a lab yet.
No wonder bush looked in his eyes and saw a kindred soul.

If Bush were not Bush, would Putin be Putin? Or rather, wouldn’t the world be such a different place anyhow, so it seems that there is a principle of response and reflection necessarily at work.
