Are We Naming Names Yet?
Last night I saw this, at Ace of Spades: McCain Holding Back on Fannie and Freddie? Um… Wait For It
No confirmation on this, no tip, no hint.
But I know what he’s doing.
John McCain is waiting until the bill passes.
And then he will unleash the dogs of war.
And he will say, “I stayed away from making these partisan attacks, even though you lied ridiculously about me and your own attempts at ‘reform.’ I held back, because partisan attacks — even truthful ones — would harm our country and reduce the chances of getting a vital bill passed.
“Well, the bill is now passed. I put country first. You didn’t, and you lied on top of that. And now — only now that this crisis has been dealt with, to the extent we can — I’m going to give you a bit of straight-talk about Fannie, Freddie, my attempts to reform it, and your attempts to block reform on behalf of your big donors and friends in ACORN.”
Count on it.
And I was about to start a new post entitled: And Then Pigs Will Fly and Politics Won’t Suck. Then Bush signed the bill at 2 pm Eastern, and maybe:
I like the music. Anyone know what piece that is?

Don’t let the coming bad news make you think less of your fellow citizens. It’s just a thing they’re going thru. I was your age when Jimmuah was elected, I was teh seriously annoyed, still I managed to have purdy good time in spite.
tl;dr Not the end of the world if O bin Biden wins.

But maybe Ima happy cause we have a new dawg:
A friend of a friend of a friend decided that Half was just waiting too damn long to look.
Thisn is Bud (he will tell me his real name later I expect). He got off to a bad start in life. Bait dawg, up in Atlanta (so it’s thought), he’s been hanging out with the Big Dawg Rescue folks for a couple of months getting his act together. Cats like him. Goldies not certain.

That’s a nice dawg. Though be prepared; his real name may be Barack!.

Cute enough that if he was a she he could go by Piper!
Cats are good judges of character. Dogs opinion of you depends on their breed, which shows rather less active discrimination on their parts, I think. What kind of extra-circle-of-hell-deserving sicko uses a golden retriever as a bait dog?

I don’t know what a bait dog is.

A bait dawg is used to stir up the pit-bulls prior to a ring fight. Also used for training them up to be vicious.
I will not say anything about organized dawg fighting or killing the organizors thereof.
