A long-standing neighborhood conflict over roaming dogs escalated when a 74-year-old man fired a shotgun out a window of his home, killing a loose Chihuahua and landing himself in jail on criminal charges, according to police.
~ * ~
The 10-year-old Chihuahua, Faux Pas, was apparently attracted to Mueller’s own dog, which was in heat, Glasgow said. Mueller’s dog was in a fenced dog run in the yard, which itself is not fenced.Faux Pas made a fatal misstep when he approached Mueller’s property on Zurich Street, according to police.
Mueller leveled a semiautomatic .410-bore shotgun loaded with bird shot out an opened window and shot the animal on the street at a corner of his property, police Lt. Dave Parker said. Faux Pas was about 20 feet away from the window.
~ Glasgow conceded that Faux Pas has escaped from his home several blocks away in the past and gone to see Zippy when she’s in heat, but he said they always went to get him when Mueller called. There was no reason to shoot Faux Pas, he said.
“It’s his right to keep his dog in any particular way that he wants to,” Glasgow said. “But the problem of it is that when you keep a female dog out like that, other dogs are going to come into your yard. What he’s saying is that my dog is out of control and running through the neighborhood. What I’m trying to tell him is, ‘The only reason my dog was at your house was because you’re keeping a bitch in heat outside.’ ”

After a quick perusal of Teh Konstitution [do they really print that on the back of a Captian Bullshit Crunch box?] Atty. General Eric Holder remarked that the “apt” comparison for Osama bin Laden is to mass murderers like Charles Manson who, despite being murderers, still reserve the right to go before a jury and have the charges against them proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Culbertson failed to ask him which clause of the actual Constitution he found that foreign nationals and enemy combatants are to be treated as though they had US Citizenship.
OR *clicky*clicky*
Then Holder went back to playing Hide My Briefs.

The Ugly American 
Indeed, I’ve known her a long time, linked her work and praised her reporting over the years, and once made the mistake of sympathizing with one of her old gripes about Sean. She has accused me (and everyone else on the planet) of stealing her work, hating Jews, and being less intelligent, less brave, and less successful than she is. Some very vindictive people will never be happy and have made it their life’s mission to drag the world down with them. It is very, very sad.
Notice how Michelle only blockquotes her name but never actually writes it herself?
Smart.. very smart.
Yeah, they got his chyron wrong but the sound bite is a definite keeper.
BTW, that low whirring sound you hear there in the background is The Founding Fathers spinning in their graves.
Yet another WTF bizarro political ad from Carly Fiorina
I’ll say one thing for her videos… they certainly are original.
It was a day like any other day—except that it was the seventh anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. And, for the most part, that was forgotten.........
yeah. wow
Even the dog is cooler than we will ever be. Soldier and his dog parachuting into Afghanistan. “The dog kinda enjoys it.”
...and I won’t even let my dawg go to a doggie park.

Then might I suggest that Americans begin lining up at both these locations bright and early Monday morning for their annual physicals.
Just tell ‘em to send the bill to Pelosi.
Special Health Care for Congress: Lawmakers’ Health Care Perks
Why do they call it “Obamacare” when it was sponsored by Rep. Dingell?
There is a pretty good indicator of what this is all about. It has nothing to do with what is good for the American people, it is all about attacking Obama.
All of these little made up names and terminology are their “N” words.
Yesterday, I decided to call Rep. John Garamendi’s (CA-10) office in Washington, D.C. He’s my representative and I wanted to voice my opposition to the Senate Health Care Bill. I spoke with a female staffer and politely told her that, while I support health care reform, I oppose the Senate Bill because it wasn’t true “reform.” She said the Congressman thinks it’s a good bill and that he campaigned on health care reform. I told her I knew that. I also mentioned that I voted for him. When I tried to give her specific reasons why the Senate Bill would harm our system rather than reform it, she refused to listen. She said she was very busy and hung up on me. Being the persistent person that I am, I kept calling back. Each time I tried to finish my point, she hung up.
I called one more time. This time she said, “If you call one more time, we will notify Capital Police.” I asked why my conduct warranted involving federal law enforcement agents. She said I was “harassing” her. I tried to explain that trying to convince a representative to change his or her vote didn’t constitute “harassment.” Before I could fully explain, she hung up again.
I called back. This time, I asked to speak to her supervisor in order to report her repeated hanging up as well as the threat she made. I was placed on hold. Thinking I was holding for her supervisor, I was shocked when a Federal Agent with the Capital Police picked-up the telephone...............
Obamacare will create 12,500 new jobs!
The IRS will have lots to do to implement and enforce the new taxes and mandates included in the bill. In fact, the Senate Democrats’ bill references or amends the Internal Revenue Code 180 times.
Based on the current cost to employ this division’s workforce, an additional $1 billion per year would mean 12,500 new employees at the IRS. That’s more than 12,000 IRS employees that will be examining taxpayer records to enforce the government’s definition of “affordable” and “acceptable” insurance coverage, and working to comply with the bill to get people into government-run insurance.
If you were a member of Congress who could simply deem stuff, what would you deem?
