This is a dachshund's dachshund. Not only does he love to play fetch, he's got his pet human sufficiently conditioned to - well, watch the video. Look at that tail and those ears - That is one happy dog!
I do think it's a poor second choice to human interaction. But it gives the dog something to do when the family is out.
Arab Liberals Discuss Fifth Anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom
HT: Don Surber
Kumbayah, my lord, Kumbayah: Private Papers on the supposed damage George W. Bush has done to our reputation overseas and how the opposition expects to restore it.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air dissects Obama's "bitter" gaffe. Don't believe him? H Ross Perot "You people". Jesse Jackson "Hymietown".
Obama regularly lets his true self show when he doesn't have a script. This is only the most damaging of many such problem pronouncements.
After 26 Years, 2 Lawyers Reveal Killer's Secret - and an Inmate Hopes to Go Free
Let me get this straight. Two public employees knew for a fact that someone else was guilty of the crime for which this man was convicted, and he sat in prison for 26 years so that a convicted murderer's confidentiality could be respected? In fact that he's still there and may be there for the rest of his life? That only the real murderer's death "enabled" those with the evidence to come forward?
If that's not proof our legal system needs an overhaul, nothing is. The state of Illinois owes this man his life back. Since that doesn't appear to be on the list of possibilities, though, let's start with his immediate freedom and more money than he can ever spend in his remaining years.
This is precisely the sort of legal hair splitting in favor of obvious injustice that causes the legal profession to be viewed with such disdain. This is more a thousand times more of a gross miscarriage of justice than anything that could possibly have happened to the guilty party. How often is a second person ever tried for a crime and convicted?
Scapegoat 1 or scapegoat 2? In this case it's scapegoat 2: Democrat blames weak economy on Iraq war
Particularly when the real culprit was excesses, negligence and deception in the financial markets? You know, Obama and Hillary's super donors and contribution bundlers? You don't have to wonder what they're getting for their campaign contributions.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
