Obama & Ted Kennedy - Gone to the Dogs!
Ok, is it just me or is anyone else struck by the irony of the recommendation of Sen. Ted Kennedy that the Obama family select his favorite, a Portuguese Water Dog! Nothing against the dog, our friends had them and they are great. I'm of course biased because I bought a Labradoodle from Rutland Manor in Australia 4 years ago and we love the dog. This is a great dog for families who want a constant companion who can live with kids with allergies - like my second son. The "doodle" though isn't really a "breed" according to the Nazis at the AKC who consider my dog a MUTT. Even though after 20 years of constant considerate breeding by careful professional breeders - not so much you can say about the US breeders who turn out puppies in mills all over - but then Obama's a self confessed MUTT and so is most of America. We don't go for that Arayan shit her in the Old US of A. So, the Mutt should pick the MUTT.
But back to Kennedy. Isn't this the guy who let a girl drown to death in a car while he swam away. A Water Dog alright. Does America have no memory at all! The Lion of the Senate (only after he started a tough fight with cancer) is the original Water Dog. This is a guy who makes Bill Clinton look principled. Isn't this the guy who went drinking and driving (and running away) off an "unmarked" bridge with Mary Jo Kopechne in the passenger seat. She, intoxicated on his presence, he intoxicated.
There's Sen. Kennedy exchanging wit and repartee with Henry Winkler on how his Water Dog is superior to the Fonz's Labradoodle. If I were a journalist here I would open up and admit that I own a lovely animal and the that the price I paid alone makes it impossible that the Obama's will get one from the shelter. The only way that goes down is if the "Deep Throat" Guys drop one off 5 minutes before Malia and Sasha pull up in the motorcade. But we'll leave that post for another time.

Global Divisivness
I promised to post things I'm reading or seeing regularly and so here's something I came upon tonight that's quite chilling. In light of the recent attacks in Mumbai, where I spent maybe 150 days a year for several years in the 90s, I had been thinking about intolerance and bullying. The Hindus in India are like Christianity in America. That is to say it drives the conversation, it sets the official schedule.
Hinduism sets the us versus them tone on the subcontinent. The Muslims and in some degree the Christians in India are tolerated. The Holy days are celebrated but India is by and large a Hindu country in the very same way that Pakistan is a Muslim one. Not at all in the way Turkey exists.
In that light it's quite easy to see how the internecine hatred and divisiveness has festered. It's always just below the surface. If you don't believe it watch Sara Sinder's CNN feed on the scene. This local based reporter is being bullied for reporting just the facts. The crowd is hostile unruly and the police are non responsive. It's a powder keg that avoid detonation because of Global economic growth. Kill that growth and watch it fester.
Meanwhile here in America, lest we get to high and mighty we get this. David Duke and his band of merry idiots are glorifying in the possibility for growth. Watch this video.
