I Hope You’re Proud Of Yourself!
Hey Blog Guy, it’s September 14th. This is the day you announce the coveted annual I Hope You’re Proud Of Yourself! award.
Yes, I’m sorry for the delay. I was all set to give this year’s trophy to the folks at that Tea Party presidential debate on Monday.
You mean those morons who shouted that an uninsured guy should just be allowed to die? Good choice, Blog Guy!

Hmmmm. Not bad, Lamar, but he’s done that twice already. I think he needs something different this time.

Blog Guy, do dogs have political views?
Not all of them, but certainly those graffiti-trained dogs do.

They don’t spot it, they WRITE it.
They boil complex viewpoints down to some pretty simple words. Don’t get my golden retriever started on the IMF and Ireland’s economic woes…
This is incredible. I’ve never even seen a dog writing graffiti.
Well of course you haven’t. The training wouldn’t be very good if you caught them at it, would it?
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch…
Kids, gather ’round for another bedtime story. I know how you love really evil characters. Let’s see. We’ve covered Hannibal Lecter, Vlad the Impaler, Rod Blagojevich, Mad King Ludwig…
Okay, Timmy and Sally, turn the lights out, get under the covers, and I’ll tell you about a naturalist named Chris Packham…
