First Muppet Arrives At White House

The moment has arrived. The Obamas finally got their dog, which is a hand-me-down from an elderly talking Lion from the Land of Massachusia:

The little guy is a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog given to the Obama girls as a gift by that Portuguese water dog-lovin' senator himself, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. The girls named it Bo -- and let it be noted that you learned that here first. Malia and Sasha chose the name, because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because first lady Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, a source said. (Get it? Bo . . . Diddley?)


But what of the pledge to adopt a hobo AIDS dog?:


The choice of a Portie raised one complication. The Obamas have long said they wanted a rescue dog. But the carefully bred PWDs almost never end up in shelters. Bo had been living with another family, but it wasn't a good fit, so the Kennedys acquired him for the Obamas.

As for the rescue pledge, the Obamas came up with a solution intended to lend a serious symbolic note: They're going to make a donation to the D.C. Humane Society.

HOLY LORD A BLACK FAMILY'S DOG ATE A BABY DOWN HERE

Not even kidding:

Henry McGill was pressure washing his home and his wife was in the garage when their dog made a grisly discovery Monday afternoon.

Coco, a 2-year-old Labrador mix, had been whining to get out of their house at 6559 Clear Creek Road. When Tonya McGill let her out, she ran toward a wooded area near State Road 87, dug once into the dirt and retrieved something in her mouth.

"She came back and I asked her ‘What do you have? Put that down," Tonya recalled. "She dropped it at my feet."
Tonya said she wasn't certain what Coco had found at first, but then she recognized a baby's little toes.

Help Obama Family Adopt A Hobo AIDS Dog

Hey, remember that video where St. Barack of Obama pimped out his Mooslim family for an interview where they discussed getting a dog?

Now there's a site called Obama Family Dog that wants the First Family to adopt one of those horrible kennel dogs that have various assortments of fleas, manges, and gonorrheas:

If Sen. Barack Obama becomes president, he'll instantly be faced with decisions that will affect millions of Americans. Obama will also soon be making a decision that could affect millions of American dogs. It has been reported that once the election is over, the Obamas will be looking for a new four-legged family member (much to his daughters' delight).

The American Kennel Club (AKC) has suggested five types of purebred dogs that would fit the Obamas' lifestyle. While we don't disagree that it's important to choose a dog that matches well with the family, mixed breeds should certainly be considered along with pure breeds. Also, whether purebred or mutt, we believe the Obamas should make a winning choice and adopt a family dog, not buy one.

Sign the petition, unless you want the terrorists to win. It's your duty as an American.

BYOD

If you're going to the Olympics and have a craving for doggy dumpling, you're SOL:

Beijing has asked hotels and restaurants in the city to take dog meat off the menu for the duration of next month's Olympics and September's Paralympics.

...Concerned that canine dishes might offend animal rights groups and Western visitors, Beijing said restaurants expected to be popular among foreign visitors must stop serving dog meat "to respect the dining customs of different countries."

The directive "advocated" that all restaurants serving dog suspend it during the Olympics but made no mention of the many popular establishments with donkey on the menu.

Hillary Promises Florida And Michigan Delegates Will Be Seated

On the back of the bus:

Hillary Clinton compared her effort to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to epic American struggles, including those to free the slaves and win the right to vote for blacks and women.

The current stalemate over the two states' primary votes threatens to replicate the disputed 2000 presidential election in Florida, she warned an elderly crowd in Palm Beach County - one of the jurisdictions where Democrats allege voters were disenfranchised in 2000.

The pointed speech marked the kick-off of a last-gasp effort by Clinton to prolong her Democratic presidential campaign by making the states count, which would cut into rival Barack Obama's leads in popular votes and pledged delegates.

Clinton, at times sounding like a modern history professor, praised the abolitionists, suffragettes and civil rights pioneers and talked about her own efforts to fight legislative redistricting and voter identification initiatives that she said dilute minority voting power.

"This work to extend the franchise to all of our citizens is a core mission of the modern Democratic party," she said. "From signing the Voting Rights Act and fighting racial discrimination at the ballot box to lowering the voting age so those old enough to fight and die in war would have the right to choose their commander in chief, to fighting for multi-lingual ballots so you can make your voice heard no matter what language you speak."

Jeebus to Kick Muhammad's Ass

One interesting aspect of the GOP nomination race is the tough guy competition (which thank Gawd replaces the swimsuit competition).

Mccain will follow UBL to "the gates of hell."




But look out WALNUTS! King of Iowa Christians and Subway enthusiast Mike Huckabee wants to be a little more inclusive in his useless rhetoric:

Asked whether the American commanders on the scene were right in not attacking the Iranian boats, Mr Huckabee said he backed their decisions, before warning Iran: "Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next thing you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that."


Huck also added that his son David will be sent to Iran to hang every canine.

Huck Spawn Kills AIDS Dog

In 1998, Dave Huckabee and his bff hung a stray dog at Boy Scout Camp. Apparently, it was done out of mercy, given the dog had mange. So take THAT Romney family. It's one thing to strap a dog to the top of your car on family vaca, but quite another to go to the artistic lengths of lynching one in Arkansas.
