Velveeta is up early today. Not an easy task after working late last night and drinking coffee until 9:00pm.
There are several things that most American households have as "ritual" in the morning and Velveeta is no exception:
If you're not being forced to get up early, regardless of your physical state, to walk your dog(s) in the rain, snow,sleet, hail, fog, hurricane or during the rapture/Armageddon, then you are missing a one of the greatest experiences a human can have!
Last year we got Rosie, our current mutt dog from the pound because our older dog was sad and lonely. We were all still sad over the lose of Max, our 10 year old collie mix that suffered a horrible fate with the tainted food. Here's Rosie:
Rosie came into our home after having been a stray for her entire life, we believe, of approximately 4 years. Her thick husky fur had never seen a brush, she looked at tennis balls and chew toys in disdain and she looked at us, her human owners, with a combination of fear and curious amusement. Thankfully, she loved our older dog and he loved her.
Today, she's the only dog, as Red Bird, passed in November due to Cancer. He was able to live out his final days with all his favorite things and treats, including a nice locally grown, grass fed, cow part in the form of a fillet. Hmmmm. Even I was drooling. The cat was not amused, even though she also got a taste.
Today, she's grown accustom to us and our strange ways. Well, she still barks when we show any affection. I think she might be homophobic! Otherwise, she's a loving and playful dog.
As usual, I've digressed.
Dogs. Great companions and everyone should have one. Sure, they require lots of care and time, and yes, they can be expensive, but what they give back in return is 1000 times worth the other aggravations. Like getting up before the sun and strategically maneuvering icy roads just so your dog can poo. (Don't get me wrong, I love cats as well).
If you decide to get a dog, the place to find the best ones is your local dog shelter (aka Pound). It need not be the one offered by your local government township. Often there are plenty of independent and reputable outfits that offer adoptions. Make sure they have a "no kill" policy.
If you must have a pure bred, find a reputable breeder. This is much harder than looking in your "Yellow Pages" because many breeders out there (but not all, I must stress) are Puppy Mill breeders. But a little patience and research will pay off. Its estimated that 1 in 6 dogs at your local pound are pure breeds. As well, there is a rescue organization(s) for every breed out there.
What are puppy mills and why should I care?
Even the rich and famous pay for and support the mills. Here is a link to the HSUS video (can't do an embed). Warning! This video has some disturbing images............ of Paris Hilton. Oh, and dogs in mills.
How can you fight the puppy mills? The biggest thing is to is speak out! And don't delay, like I did. I kept meaning to write a letter or do something, anything about the disgusting puppy store that was in our local mall. Deceivingly called: Puppy Luvs. But, with all the political stuff and work, and my laziness, I never got around to it. Oh, I wanted to do some theatrical protest/display outside the store, with lots of stage blood and drama......... but I was always too busy.
Thankfully, I noticed yesterday when I had to go to the horrible Mall (shudder), that the store had closed down!! Yippee! I yelled out loud. Much to the dismay of a woman and her teen daughter who had wanted to go view the puppies, I stood in front and loudly did a "happy dance".
Don't be lazy like me, here's some action you can take:
Inform your state and federal legislators that you are disturbed by the inhumane treatment of dogs in puppy mills, and would like to see legislation passed that ensures that all animals bred to be pets are raised in healthy conditions. You can keep up-to-date about current legislation to ban puppy mills by joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade.
One last thing: as long as we turn our eye and ignore these puppy mills the more those beautiful, sweet mixed breeds will die by the needle. And our moral compass points towards "evil" or "apathetic" once again. Once we humans lose our capacity for compassion of those who cannot protect themselves, we become less human. Its a short step to accepting torture of other humans.
For example there is a man who is now cloning dogs for the uber rich. Yes, I'm not kidding. Miss your old dog? Have him/her cloned. I suppose this mad scientist guy doesn't believe in ............. souls! As far as I'm concerned he is just as bad as the guy holding the cattle prod to the political prisoners genitals.
There are several things that most American households have as "ritual" in the morning and Velveeta is no exception:
- Making and pouring a cup of coffee,
Getting the paper from the stoop (or up the road, in my case).
Morning prayers and/or meditation.
And taking the dog for a walk.

What are puppy mills and why should I care?
For one, that cute little puppy most likely came from a large-scale, substandard commercial breeding operation, commonly known as a puppy mill. Puppy mills usually house dogs in overcrowded and often unsanitary conditions, without adequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization. The breeding stocks at puppy mills (possibly your new puppy’s mom and dad) are bred as often as possible in order to increase profits. Unlike your lucky puppy, the mom and dad will probably never make it out of the mill.
Harsh Realities
The result? By buying a pet shop puppy, not only are you likely perpetuating and supporting a cruel industry, you—the consumer—run the risk of taking home a sick puppy! Dogs from puppy mills have been reportedly diagnosed with ailments such as respiratory infections and pneumonia, as well as hereditary defects like hip dysplasia. They may also be poorly socialized to people and other animals. Also, your new “purebred” puppy might not really be a purebred. Dogs at puppy mills are often bred indiscriminately, and lineage records are sometimes falsified to misrepresent that the dog is a purebred, when in fact, the animal is a mixed breed. Responsible breeders do not sell their dogs through pet stores.
Even the rich and famous pay for and support the mills. Here is a link to the HSUS video (can't do an embed). Warning! This video has some disturbing images............ of Paris Hilton. Oh, and dogs in mills.

Oh Random! I am so sorry. Heat Exhaustion is terrible and can last for days. I had it last year, because I refused to stop working on putting cotoneasters along my bank and refused to drink water - under the hot sun. We don't get as hot up here in the Mtns, but still, it can happen.
You should be suffering from flu like condition. Tired, nausea, headaches, and general body aches. Get in bed and watch AbFab or something equally mindless. And sleep!

Nice post Velveeta. Bit of a side note - my landlord is a former breeder of tibetan terriers and has one left.. here's a pic to give you an idea what the ol' girl looks like:
(this looks like a puppy.. also looks recently bathed since these dogs are practically dreadlocked when they're not all dolled up)

Ah, and the Boy Scout will have to chime in.
Heat Stroke is a hurry case; get out of the sun or you're going to die.
* high body temperature
* the absence of sweating, with hot red or flushed dry skin
* rapid pulse
* difficulty breathing
* strange behavior
* hallucinations
* confusion
* agitation
* disorientation
* seizure
* coma
Heat Exhaustion is serious, but quickly treatable.
* Often pale with cool, moist skin
* Sweating profusely
* Muscle cramps or pains
* Feels faint or dizzy
* May complain of headache, weakness, thirst, and nausea
* Core (rectal) temperature elevated—usually more than 100°F—and the pulse rate increased

(apologies to Random).
My vote did not count when I lived in FL in 2000. Yes, I'm still pissed about it. But we must move on. The people that did not go to the polls - because they knew their vote would NOT count, would then be disenfranchised if we turned around and changed the rules........... AGAIN.

well, i registered two years ago, shortly before the Mid-term elections. And at that time i couldn't see a Dem taking stage that i'd get behind, and I didn't like the Republicans. And by the time Elections started happening, i liked Barack, but the election here was made null and void, so i keep my No party affiliate status untill next time.

Good morning everybody.
It's my day off but I got so much to do. I have to head out and drop off my car to find out why the "check engine soon" light keeps coming on. And I also have to go get an EKG at noon and get a haircut. So, I will be in and out (more out) a lot today.
Talk to you all later.

Here's an interesting fun fact: Despite appearnce Paul Harvey has been dead for nearly a decade, but because of his powers to see into the future he has pre-recorded several segments before his death so they can be played for decades after his passing...And that, is the rest of the story.

"get to know the candidates"? bullshit.
my state was taken for granted, so we didn't get wooed out the yin yang like all these other states, and I voted anyway.

Mornin' Gang,
Love the post Velveeta, as the proud mother of two doggies (Tulsey and Dylan), I know how much pets mean to their moms (and dads). Today I am sore as heck. I had a minor mishap last night. It was a complete idiotic move on my part - I pulled into my garage and failed to engage the parking brake and must have left the gear in neutral (a result of extreme sleep deprivation, I'm sure), so as I was down closing the gate my car came rolling down my driveway, knocked me over, crossed the street rolled up the driveway across the street, and rolled back into the street. It has been a helluva week
My car is pretty banged up (and so am I) - the side mirror on the passenger side was knocked off and there is a new ding in the rear bumper Anyway, I am home taking Aleve and trying to move 
Sorry I am usually not such a piece of human wreckage and/or a klutz, but there you have it - for my own protection I don't plan to leave the house today :(
Carry on mis amigos! :D
mfaye

Do you know? That happened to a friend of mine in college. A bunch of us were hanging a "Bottle Drive" sign at the entrance of our campus and she was driving out and stopped to help us...left the car in gear and it immediately went out into the main road.
Starling, who tends to be impulsive, ran after it into the street, jumped in and slammed on the brakes. Phew...that was scary!

VJ excellent opening article. We of the Clan Mondo have long advocated the procuring of companion animals from reputable breeders. My parents when they got their new dog, Madison, an adorable mini dachsie, they contacted the local vet for the name of breeders. Madie is happy healthy dog.
On of the merchants we supply credit cards for is a nation chain of pet stores. I have in no uncertain terms that I object to this company. They have to get their dogs from puppy mills. Secondly they charge way too much for their animals. Thirdly I hate having to sell credit protection; yeah thats right property damage protection on a living thing.

I'm on Zoloft myself (at least I have a generic), My moods definitely come and go especially since I was out of work. And with what I make, I can't even afford to go back to therapy because the talk time was always helpful.

Wow. Depression. I used to be on all kinds of anti-depressants starting around age 13 or so! Doctors diagnosed me with all sorts of "disorders".
Then, ya know a funny thing happened. When I stopped drinking - I wasn't having those problems anymore. Turns out........... alcohol and narcotic drugs are depressants! Silly me!!
:lol:
(Not that I'm saying anyone here has that same problem with drugs and alcohol or should not be following the advice of their doctor. Just relating a story that seems quite common in this over-prescribed country).

Good afternoon everybody!
John McCain will be on Ellen's show today. Does he know she's :gasps: that way?! Considering Ellen has become so milk toast, I expect she will go all network PC and be kindly to the old coot. Feh.
Did ya'll hear Rachel yesterday? Finally someone says what I've been thinking. And to take it even further, I think Hillary wants McCain to win if Barack is the nominee so she can run again in 2012, when she will really be able to take advantage of the disastrous state of affairs in this country. :Don't fuck with me boys, ack ack.: : Dr. Evil laugh: I'm askeerd.

And the dealer called. Looks like there are some issues with the engine and transmission. Sounds to me like the old Saturn is on its last legs. I better start skrimping some money away so I can buy even a recent second-hand car to get me around. It would cost me about 2-3 grand to do the work needed to get rid of the problem so it looks like as long as I can still drive the car I can deal with it as is.
Now if only I could have prayers for money.
Now if only we had that Republican emoticon that used to be on the AAP blog.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove as part of its inquiry into whether the Bush administration politically meddled at the Justice Department.
Accusations of politics governing decisions at the agency led to the resignation of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The subpoena issued Thursday orders Rove to testify before the House panel on July 10. He is expected to face questions about the White House's role in firing nine U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama, a Democrat.
House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers had negotiated with Rove's attorneys for more than a year over whether the former top political adviser to President Bush would testify voluntarily.

This was the initial Subpoena. If he doesn't show, they will have to go to the Justice Dept to intervene. If that doesn't work, he will be held in Inherent Contempt; the Sargent of Arms would go get him at that point.

The difference between Haggee and Wright....well, the difference as the Corporate Media sees it and the reason it won't be an issue....is because
A ) Haggee is white. He's not an angry black man wearing a dashiki (sp?) and
B ) He's talking about/blaming minorities like Jews and Gays. He's not "blaming" the innocent, mostly white, middle to upper class people that were in the towers on 9/11.

MCCAIN: I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman. And I know that we have a respectful disagreement on that issue.
ELLEN: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think that it is looked at and some people are saying the same that blacks and women did not have the right to vote. Women just got the right to vote in 1920. Blacks didn't have the right to vote till 1870. It just feels like there's this old way of thinking (that) we are not all the same. We are all the same people. All of us. You're no different than I am. Our love is the same. (applause) To me what it feels like just, you know, I will speak for myself...it feels when someone says you can have a contract and you'll still have insurance and you'll get all that. It sounds to me like saying well you can sit there (points in one direction), you just can't sit there (points in another direction). That's what it sounds like to me. It doesn't feel inclusive. It feels isolated. It feels like we aren't owed the same things and the same wording.
MCCAIN: Well, I've heard you articulate that position in a very eloquent fashion. We just have a disagreement and I, along with many, many others wish you every happiness.
ELLEN: Thank you. So you'll walk me down the aisle? Is that what you said?
(laughter)
MCCAIN: Touché

Awesome Tri. Danke.
I know how AMerican it is to hate the Yanks. But I just love them.
I am sad that I won't ever see another game in the old stadium.
BTW, did anyone else hear that someone dies at the Braves/Mets game down here last night? Seems as tho the were sliding down the railings and fell.

Quote by TriSec:
Some for Raine (and any other homesick Noo Yawkers):
I know a man who is a diamond cutter. He mows the lawn at Yankee Stadium. ~Author Unknown
A mystique of history and heritage surrounds the New York Yankees. It's like the old days revived. We're loved and hated, but always in larger doses than any other team. We're the only team in any sport whose name and uniform and insignia are synonymous with their entire sport all over the world.... the Yankees mean baseball to more people than all the other teams combined. ~Paul Blair, quoted in Washington Post, 22 June 1978
Hating the New York Yankees is as American as apple pie, unwed mothers and cheating on your income tax. ~Mike Royko, 1981
Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for the house in blackjack. ~Adam Morrow, quoted in Bill Simmons, "Letters from the Nation," 20 October 2003

Sorry for the long comment, folks, but this was sent to me by a long-time friend who is one of the strongest feminists I have ever known (and who BTB is an Obama supporter), It is from today's Slate, written by Dahlia Lithwick and I think it is right on. I have felt for some time now that we are heading toward a potentially tragic ending in this primary race and the one who could prevent this tragedy is the one who is bringing it about (I am, of course, referring to Hillary) . Your thoughts and comments on the following are, as always, appreciated.
I don’t think anyone disputes that hideous instances of sexism have been stirred up in this campaign. Nor does anyone dispute that Ms. Clinton is entitled to address it, which she has done very deftly at times. The question is whether she’s entitled to reduce her entire failed campaign to sexism—which has the practical effect of splitting women into those-who-are-angry-about-sexism, and those who what? Think it’s acceptable? There’s one other practical effect that warrants mentioning, and that is that it reduces a complex, brilliant, and talented candidate to a big whomping cliché. My friend Susannah writes: “I find it increasingly unbearable to watch Hillary. It feels like she has become the archetype I find most painful to see in women—a high-maintenance, delusional, and "difficult" woman who feels entitled to do whatever she likes. ... Meanwhile, Obama is forced to tiptoe around essentially just humoring her. There is a pathetic "Yes, dear" quality to the way he is forced to react to her these days.”
This mirrors a sense I’ve had that we might have finally crossed the Hirshman line. Linda Hirshman argued persuasively that all powerful, ambitious women are at some point dismissed as “hysterical” or “insane.” Too true. The problem now is that when Clinton behaves irrationally, we can’t call her out for it because it would be sexist. If we can't call irrational behavior irrational because the character in question is a woman, then it’s a short hop from here to a Tennessee Williams play ...
Cheers,

mfaye, you think maybe you can club the troll trio on the SMS blog with that bit of logic. They are still peddling she's leading in the popular vote (and only because Obama had no votes in MI). And besides voting for and supporting the war, that whole Kyl-Lieberman deal has put her on my shitlist.

It is like using the 'Godwin' argument.
Hillary and all her wonderful feminist supporters should know that. You don't EVER win a debate by going Godwin, EVER.

Rachel is again calling for the superdelegates to endorse Obama en masse to stop Hillary since the Hillary camp will accept nothing less than 100% of the delegates from Michigan and Florida and she will drag it to a convention floor fight.

ihave not yet, but I am eagerly looking forward to seeing it, Todd Solondz is known for his bizarre movies, and I must tell you...
I love his films. THIS one, however, being about Dylan, with his stamp of approval, I am fairly certain I will love when I do see it, besides,
Look at the cast.... I love the concept, I just have not seen it yet.

Was just about to post this. Sounds like KO is gonna mention it:
The St. Paul Saints have outdone themselves.
This Sunday's promotion is a giveaway of 2,500 "bobble foot" dolls, featuring a seated figure in a bathroom stall.
You might make the obvious association with Larry Craig, but ...
The baseball team says the promotion, which coincides with National Tap Dance Day, is "in tribute to all their toe-tapping friends and fans from around the nation who may ever have set foot in Minneapolis-St. Paul… even for just a change of planes. The one-of-a-kind collector’s item depicts a restroom stall and a bobble foot peaking out from underneath."
The team says they don't mind if you make the obvious connection instead of buying this tap dancing folly. Which is good, since it is now my life's mission to get the disgraced former senator to sign one of these.

Tonight's worst persons.
3. Comcast Cable for firing Barry Nolan for criticizing Bill-O getting a New England Emmy Award.
2. General Patreaus-For his involvement in getting officials to shill for the Bush Administration to say how great the war is going.
1. Oliver North-who doesn't realize that those being under torture in Gitmo could make-up alleged terror plots as well as his "allegations" that prisoners in Gitmo were making up the allegations of Koran desecrations. I guess Ollie is OK with that whole torture thing.
Can we please bring up that he apparently was very aware that the Contras were involved in smuggling cocaine as one of the many activities of this group who were the "moral equivalent" of our founding fathers? :pray:

CB: Is it a deep well crafted character study that will show my range as an actor?
GL: Ummmmm nooooooo. (Eyes Steve and Casting Director)
CD: (looking at floor muttering) It is the role of the villian in the new Indiana Jones film.

Money does talk, Mondo. I think you're right. Wonder if she got a back end point as well.
I thought Shia was a girl until I saw Disturbia. To that point I had only heard the name. It's a man, baby!

Disturbia sucks.
that aside, Cate has about as deep a character as most villians in films. She's a scientist who wants to gain knowledge.

How's Raine and her friend doing. I read earlier that there are Zombies roaming around her area and trying to get into people's homes!
Raine! Watch out .................... behind you!!!!

I wonder what would have happened if you brought up his work in animation playing cartoon villains in shows like Batman: The Animated Series where he played the Joker or in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon where he played the Hobgoblin.

Top 10 Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack
1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Blades don’t need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.
