"Don't you just love the way a politician will spend a fortune to get backers, and even more money to get a campaign moving -- and finally, after this old dog has spent millions and millions of bowsers in order to get elected to the highest office in the land, you learn that it was all done to help you? Yep, to help YOU out there gnawing placidly on a beat-up lamb bone and thinking about a good way to scare the be-jesus out of the neighbor's cat. For you, who would prefer to be let alone to dream of chasing rabbits you can never catch and of scaring off burglars you will never encounter. The dog wants to help YOU. Roll over and be grateful now. Hawarf!" (Photo by Mark T.)
