"Field, make sure you pick up a couple of cases of bottled water and snacks, and make sure you tap the ATM and get some cash. Oh, and don't forget to get some flashlights and batteries if you can..."
That's what part of my text from Mrs. Field looked like as the big gal upstairs prepared to hit you heathens on the East Coast with yet another rare natural disaster. This times it's of the hurricane variety. What will it be next, a meteor shower? WTF? Even the city that never sleeps is shutting down. These are strange days, indeed.
Irene is her name, and she is going to cost us some money.Heck she already started. This lady has expensive taste. Not even the Donald can afford this one. She might tear up his casinos in AC and some of his Manhattan high rises with one devastating swoop.
Speaking of strange, I see that ESPN the Magazine done went and made #7 white to make a point. [See pic with this post.] As is to be expected, some folks aren't pleased. But I have to give it to ESPN, they know how to sell magazines. Fire up those color arousal buttons and folks will talk. Talk leads to curiosity, and curiosity leads to sales. And, let me say for the record, I can't even imagine Michael Vick as white. And if you knew how white folks feel about their pets and vice versa, you couldn't either.
Finally, congrats to Governor Big Hair. I see that he is leading the republiclown field of presidential candidates. He does seem to be the "godliest" of all the candidates. Poor Mitt, he just doesn't have the right religion to satisfy that good ole republiclown base that is so full of true believers.
Governor Big Hair is the real deal among the republican bible reading base, and the main stream media is starting to take notice:
"That’s the mirror-mirror question for Republicans. Forget charisma, charm, intelligence, knowledge and that nuisance, “foreign policy experience.” The race of the moment concerns which candidate is the truest believer.
This was always a tough hurdle for Romney, whose Mormonism is reflexively distrusted by Southern evangelicals. Even so, in the absence of a better candidate, Romney had a fighting chance to win his party’s support. Then came Perry.
Talk about a perfect-storm, composite candidate. Combine Elmer Gantry’s nose for converts, Ronald Reagan’s folksy confidence and Sarah Palin’s disdain for the elites — and that dog hunts.
Perry doesn’t just believe, he evangelizes. He summons prayer meetings. He reads scripture while callers are on hold. Not incidentally, he’s a successful governor. Perhaps most important, he’s a wall-scaling fundraiser whose instincts make him a force of nature in the political landscape." [Source]
He is a force of nature alright, I am just glad that god created him. He might be the only one who can save us from these strange times.

The Healing of [Michael Vick's] Dogs: Jim Gorant on PBS' Need to Know
Jonny Rotten a therapy dog.
Hector hangs out with his loving family of people and other animals.
Michael Vick now out of jail.
(and
PETA Eating CROW)
Time passes, and if you want to find out more about what happened to the dogs
that Michael Vick and others
enslaved, brutalized, manipulated,
-- as if these men were actually packs of demons--
read Jim Gorant's book, The Lost Dogs (more click HERE) and also,
why not watch this video clip here
from Need to Know.
The dogs were treated so badly, PETA said, they should all be euthanized. They were beyond help.
But, as it turns out, that warn't so.
So, watch the vid
http://www.pbs.org/wnet/need-to-know/video/
and go to the site above to read all about this and related links.
Changes came.
Good changes.
Here is an excerpt from the show tonight:
"- “The Vick investigation had not only shed light on the disturbing game of dog fighting,” writes Jim Gorant in The Lost Dogs, “it had inspired action and begun to change the public view of pit bulls from perpetrators of violence to victims of it.” In several recent dog fighting busts, the successful approach used in the Vick case was applied to these new cases, and many dogs were spared as a result.
- The Humane Society of the U.S. has changed its position on how captured fighting dogs should be handled. The organization now supports individual evaluations of fighting dogs, and saving those that can be saved. (Peta, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, still believes that trained fighting dogs are too risky to try and rehabilitate.)
- Once he was released from prison, Michael Vick teamed up with The Humane Society to help them in its ongoing national campaign to educate kids around the country about the cruelty of dog fighting. Vick has repeatedly expressed remorse for his role in these crimes, and he was allowed to rejoin the National Football League in 2009 by Commissioner Roger Godell. In the 2010 season, Vick was the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles,...Just this week, Nike announced that they have re-signed Vick for an endorsement deal, after having dropped him in 2007 when his crimes came to light."...

Several posts examining Vick's dogs,
psychology and animal cruelty click here.
Dog faces (and a huge blue staffordshire mug) to make you laugh HERE
Here i will post some pictures of the
Lost Dogs, now rehabilitated, with their families:
I found these just by a variety of google searches.
The first two, so warming, hector-
