… or maybe the problem was that funny-tasting egg nog.

From tiny superdog Uggie, who became famous for starring in The Artist after making this humble greeting card: Unfortunately, most of our dogs are more like this: But we love ’em anyhow. And sometimes even some pretty unlucky dogs become lucky ones. Merry Christmas — to all the two-legs and all the four-legs in your life (even the C-A-T-S).
11 CommentsAnd examines the worldwide defiance of anti-gun laws. The spirit of resistance is alive and well at this spirited time. (Don’t worry; Tooch also eventually moved away from the dumb-law state.)
6 CommentsJust for trivia fun: 12 letters that didn’t make it into the alphabet. (From yet another Friend O’ Blog with the initial J; there seems to be a conspiracy of them this weekend.) Rescuers deliver an early Christmas to a homeless man and his dog. Pit bull saves his human from an attacker. And although this isn’t strictly good news, it was surprising to me that S.W.A.T. put my latest article online and the Infamous — and in my experience, very nice — TJIC found it. Although it’s credited to me on the site, this was actually co-authored with Joel…
10 CommentsOh, yeah, this’ll really send the gun grabbers through the roof. “A Gun for Everyone.” Neema Vedadi’s Christmas gift to the world. (Rap music, some language NSFW.)
1 Comment26 things that happened this year to restore your faith in humanity. (Hooray for J who dropped this into comments) How Joe Biden (accidentally, of course) helped us all have better email privacy. To everyone’s suprise, V for Vendetta (which never aired in Chinese theaters) suddenly turns up on Chinese state TV. (Tip o’ hat to JB) Officer who slaughtered helpless dog will face criminal charges. “Carpe Media.” And good going, Brian Wilson. Court rules that antiwar activists can sue government agents who spied on them. (H/T D) An unfreakinglybelievable and long overdue development: Cops who terrorized a family are…
15 CommentsYes, it’s that time of year life politics again — time to consider that we might need to hide our Eeeevil Black Rifles, just like we did back in the Bad Old Clinton days. Yes, I know some of us are going to say, “Hide? I ain’t hidin’ nothin’! They can come and take my gun from my cold, dead hands — or better yet, they’re the ones who’ll end up cold and dead.” But we’re taking insurance here. Not the whole arsenal. Just an “ace in the hole” rifle. Or some high-cap magazines. Or an Eeeevil Black Pistol. Or…
39 CommentsI’ve de-stickified my Christmas wish post because … well, I’ve got more than my share already, thanks to you. For the rest of the year, here’s a better cause. Blogster extraordinaire and crotchety, fiercely independent desert hermit Joel has, as you may know, advanced glaucoma (and more about that). He also has about $1.98 to his name. But. Thanks to Landlady (aka Debra), he’s finally got a PayPal donation button at the top of his blog. So if you want to help Joel keep what little eyesight he has left so he can stay out there in the desert and…
Leave a CommentIt’s time for another update on Sweetie — now Sweet Georgia Brown — the deaf cattle dog you helped bring across the country to a breed specialist. There’s a lot of good news, but one bit of of bad: Sweetie still hasn’t found her forever home! Here’s a report from ACD expert Linda Watkins. Could you or someone you know give a “fur-ever” home to this girl who’s been through so much? Or even offer a foster home where she could get the training and confidence building she still needs? Linda writes: It’s been a year now since Sweetie (now…
