Dear wretchedhive,
I saw your request for pug pix for your wife, and I post these pix of my 2 puggies in the hope that it will soothe her spirit. I'm so sorry that she is having such complications, and I hope she will recover very soon.

My girls are Lola (9) and Abbey (6), and they are as silly as you would expect pugs to be.

They are also very aware of who in the family is ill, or sad, and stay glued to that person during those times. I hope that sense of therapeutic empathy comes through in pictures, a psychic pug hug for your wife. Maybe even for you.

This blog post in The Telegraph was tweeted by @rudepundit, who described it as "the dumbest thing you'll read today", and it has me shaking my head.

This was posted by Dr. Tim Stanley. Part of his bio at the top of his post says:

Dr Tim Stanley is a research fellow in American History at Royal Holloway College. He is working on a biography of Pat Buchanan.

I didn't bother copying his website and Twitter handle.

The post is about how the "liberal media" is already slamming the religious beliefs of the GOP candidates. Predictably, he skips over the very important point that the GOP candidates are actively courting their extreme right-wing Christian base by promising to push legislation based on Christian doctrine, which is directly opposed to the separation of church and state guaranteed in our Constitution.

Wow Ed just told Senator Rubio where to go and how to get there!

Tune in if you can. Ed just showed what a blazing hypocrite Rubio is. Ok, like we don't know it already, but still, Ed gave it good!

Alan Grayson is on now. Love both of them!

Just had to post this!

I can't believe I even read it. Aw hell, yes I can! This is a post on The Political Carnival, about how Congressional representatives think they are struggling on their $174K a year salaries!!!!!!!!!
The article is linked here. It contains a link to the full article on Yahoo! News. Really, I already read about the Florida republican's remarks regarding his salary this weekend. The passage of 2 days hasn't lessened my disgust. More below the fold...

Just throwing a thought out here...I am seriously flashbacking to 2000 with the advent of "all Perry all the time" on the news the past few days. I can't stand to listen to the guy. Same exact reaction I had to Dubya.

Only in 2000, I sincerely thought there was no way in HELL the American people would vote for somebody who was clearly an idiot.

We know how that turned out.

Personally, I have to turn the sound down when they are rolling tape of Perry. I can't stand the sound of his voice. But at least today, there are resources (thank you DailyKos!) where I can at least read the accurate, unvarnished account of not only what was said, but what he has said previously. I think this is a huge difference from 11 years ago.

I wrote this last night, feeling disjointed and unsure. Disheartened. Mad. Sickened.

We, the people of the United States of America, deserve much better than what the last decade has brought us. The tea party is the last straw.

Please join me below the fold...

P.S. This was also posted at FOK Society - "Friends of Keith". Thank God he's back on TV - we need his voice now, more than ever.
