Watching Taking Chance on HBO and torturing the cat, myself.
TGIF
I am headed to dinner with a friend, so here are some pet pics and a clean thread for you. First, a snapshot of Tunch from about five minutes ago:
And now some of your kids:
Claim your kids.
Two quick things, though. I was watching the Dog Show again last night, and even though I love Jack Russell’s, I have decided I just like bigger dogs. I loved the standard and giant schnauzer in the show (was Spirit something, or what?), I always like Boxers (I just love how emotional they are), and having had a friend with a mastiff, I just adore them. Sadie the Mastiff was the sweetest dog ever, although a total pain in the rear end to sleep with.
Second, I gave Tunch wet food this morning (some high protein low carb stuff by Wellness), and he made a liar out of me. He inhaled it. I swear he has always turned up his nose at it before. I guess I might make the transition to wet food. We need shots, so maybe I will get him on that M/D stuff.
Open Thread
By request. Carry on.
Random moment of internet scariness
I typed “Sulzberger” into google because I couldn’t remember how to spell it and look what came in at number three on the search, just after the two wiki entries.
It’s probably not my place to tell anti-Semites how to run their sites, but “Jew Watch”? Couldn’t they come up with a catchier name than that?
I wonder if J.D. Hayworth is involved with the site at all.
The Definition of Smug
If you really want to get the full flavor of what a jerk this interviewer comes across as, watch this video without any sound. It almost looks like an SNL skit- the guy did everything but stick his tongue out and put his thumb to his nose while waving his fingers.
*** Update ***
I am trying to find some video of the Bush/Gore 2000 debate to offer a comparison. Any help?
I can’t find any clips other than the time he walked over next to Bush while Bush was responding to a question, making that really awkward moment where Bush looked at him funny.
I suppose any clip of Chris Matthews interviewing anyone would be as good an example as any.
Kinda Burnt Out
In case you haven’t noticed, I am kind of burnt out and have been slacking. Too much going on and too much to do, plus kind of blogged out after the inaugural burst. At any rate, pets:
Remember that awesome video a while back of the dog on the water slide while the owner was away? I also really like cats that look like lions, for whatever reason. I also almost forgot, I am thinking about adopting a 3 year old cat who needs a home. He has been de-clawed (something I would never do), so I think I will wait awhile since I know those probably go pretty quick, and I will just pick up someone else if he is not around in a week.
PS- No, I don’t have an opinion about the stupid damned NY Post chimpanzee cartoon. I simply don’t care. Don’t buy the NY Post if it pisses you off.
Devastating
This was linked earlier in the thread with the Salvation Army ad, and described as devastating. This is probably the most heartbreaking commercial I have ever seen:
So sad.
