Well we can all finally sleep better; things are beginning to fall into place. No I am not talking about the economy, honest politicians, human rights, or those pesky environmental issues. No, the White House finally has a dog and it appears not only will his appointment survive the vetting process (no pun intended) he appears to be accepting the position.
I can’t tell you the sleepless nights that went into worrying about what Obama picked and the political ramifications that go with it. I mean really, a German Shepard was certainly out. Toy Poodle? Are you kidding me? What about a Boxer? No, too close to the Democratic Party. What about a Dalmatian? Black AND white, now that would have been politically correct!
In the end the Obama family chose a Portuguese water dog, a gift from Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Of course the choice of dog was only the beginning. How do you back track over your initial comments saying you will be getting a “pound dog?” Oh, I got it, just say one of the kids has allergies – everyone knows you can’t get any pound dogs without allergens, you have to get a pure bred (right?); Then make a donation to the local Humane Society for the “misunderstanding.”
Anyway, we can all rest easy at this point. “Bo” Obama is now on board patrolling the White House lawns. I only hope it does not come out later Bo did not report income from a chew toy endorsement.
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
he is really really adorable
There I was all worried that after creating such a clever title to this post that you would miss the soft ball that was all teed up for you. Then just when I thought you were going to miss it entirely, you whack it out of the park with a well delivered tax cheat joke. Well done sir.
Godfather Added: Thanks Jay. Additionally, it is nice to see you firing up your blog again (I put it back in my blogroll).
They should have named him Moose.
