German Shepherd Deja Vu

6/18/09 - Man Receives 5 Clones of His Deceased German Shepherd

Trakr, the German Shepherd, died in April. But on Wednesday, his former owner took home five clones of the German shepherd as the winner of a contest run by a business that does stem-cell research and microengineering.

In his career as a search-and-rescue dog, Trakr helped recover more than $1 million in stolen goods and sniffed out the final survivor in the rubble of the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks... read full article (ethical?)

OT: Politics Turning into familiar Frank Capra Movie

Although not dog-related, I would like to point out that American politics are boiling down to something eerily close to the plot of, "It's a Wonderful Life." Accordingly, the current financial crisis will end on New Year's Eve as the entire Obama family sings a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
"Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?

Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be," - President Obama, responding to Dick Cheney's criticism of The Bailout.

Warning: Terrorist Squirrels

The terror alert level was raised to "Gray" today, after it was reported that one or more dogs have been attacked by terrorist squirrels.

According to Dick Cheney, these squirrels may be affiliated with the "radical" community organization, ACORN, and may be the SAME unpatriotic squirrels that have reportedly been stealing American Flags from a Michigan cemetary, although critics insist that there is no evidence to suggest that the events are related.

The attack happened shortly after President Obama made a speech addressing Middle Eastern leaders from Egypt, although it is not known if the events are related.

After making the accusations, Dick Cheney quickly returned to his Washington DC area bunker.

"The Squirrels hate us for our freedom" say off-leash dogs.
