the sarah palin rose

So last week Brian and I took the dogs and drove out to California to visit my family. While we were there we took a walk in capitol park and in back of the state capitol they have a huge rose garden. Every year they plant a new bush containing a new breed of rose. For those of you who don't know my dad let me tell you one thing about him...he considers himself a realist. What he really is is a pessimist. So as we are all stopping and smelling the roses (literally) my dad (a die hard liberal and democrat,) in true pessimistic fashion goes..."just think...in 3 or 4 years they will be planting the Sarah Palin rose, a new breed of rose named after the first female president of the United States." I just got done watching the debate. And all I can say is "Please God, let there NEVER EVER be a Sarah Palin rose." But I'm TERRIFIED. I wouldn't put it past the American people to fall for all this Republican bullshit. And were all fucked if they do.
All I have to say is THANK GOD I'm trilingual. That gives me a much larger selection of countries I can move to before they get started on the genetic engineering of the Sarah Palin rose...

Bark Obama (and no, I didn't spell his name wrong...read on to find out more about the Bark Obama campaign!)

So it's been a while (mostly because I'm lame and have nothing to write about) and chances are no one even looks here anymore. But today I have the most amazing news to tell so for those of you who have been keeping up with me during my 4 month dry spell your patience is about to be rewarded!

For those of you who don't know I now work at a doggy daycare and one of my favorite dogs who comes is a chocolate lab named Riley (which makes me so happy because when I was younger the dog I wanted most was a chocolate lab and I wanted to name him Riley...crazy huh?) Anyways he came into work today wearing the cutest dog tag I had ever seen...it was a button that said "Bark Obama for President 2008." So I asked his mom where she got it and she directed me to a website where I bought my own "Bark Obama" tags for my dogs! I am currently waiting impatiently while they are shipped to me. If you would like your canine friends to support Barack Obama as well here is the link. There is stuff for kitties as well ("demoCATS for Obama"...how cute is that?) as well as some stupid bullshit for McCain dogs and cats (although the republican animals should be sent straight to the pound and exchanged for more liberal pets.) However be forewarned...if I find out that anyone used this link I've so generously posted here to buy McCain tags to put on thier pets I will call animal control and have you arrested for animal cruelty.

Here's the link http://www.politicalshop.com/showitems_new.asp?mainpage=showitems&keysearch3=PETS or you can google "Bark Obama" and it's the first link.

PS...I will post picks of my dogs wearing their tags as soon as I get them!
