The Brouhaha Continues...

The Utopian has presented this photo of a Griffon Pointer. (above)

Here's another view of this 50-60 pound dog. (right)


I think we can all agree that Jaspierre and the Griffon Pointer both prefer an unkempt appearance.

Persons of the Week 2/25/06

Clara Hughes: who celebrated her Olympic Games' 5000m speedskating gold medal for Canada by revealing that she was going to donate every penny she has in her bank account to charity. Hughes will donate 10,000 dollars to the Right to Play organisation which aims to encourage disadvantaged youngsters to improve themselves through sport. "This morning, in my room, I watched a documentary and I understood the power of sport has to give joy and hope to the world," said Hughes. "I said to myself that I have 10,000 dollars in my bank account and I am going to donate it."

Paul Krugman: "Above all, the anti-mensches now ruling America are destroying our moral standing. A recent National Journal report finds that we're continuing to hold many prisoners at Guantánamo even though the supposed evidence against them has been discredited. We're even holding at least eight prisoners who are no longer designated enemy combatants. Why? Well, releasing people you've imprisoned by mistake means admitting that you made a mistake. And that's something the people now running America never do."

DDDIL: For being such a sweetie, great cook and gracious hostess.

Controversy

A major controversy is developing on the Life of Mhom blog concerning the pedigree of Jaspierre.

This morning The Constable posited that Jaspierre's heritage might be derived from the Neapolitan Mastiff. I'm sure you can see the uncanny resemblance.


Then my pal Chewbacca seemed quite sure that Jaspierre was actually a Wookie Nicknolte Hound and submitted the following photo to back his supposition:



Hmmm... the hair style is somewhat evocative...

We report; you decide

An anonymous poster has put forth the hypothesis that Jaspierre, my mixed terror, is actually a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens. And apparently this conclusion was reached after "intense investigation." I submit the following photos and will allow those who have intimate knowledge of Jaspierre to form their own conclusions.

Persons of the Week 2/18/06

Sarah Vowell:
"Alas, I see my initial worries about the current administration as the greatest betrayal in my whole life by my old pal pessimism. I attended the president's inauguration in 2001. When he took the presidential oath, I cried. What was I so afraid of? I was weeping because I was terrified that the new president would wreck the economy and muck up my drinking water. Isn't that adorable? I lacked the pessimistic imagination to dread that tens of thousands of human beings would be spied on or maimed or tortured or killed or stranded or drowned, thanks to his incompetence. I feel like a fool. All those years of Sunday school, and still the apocalypse catches me off guard."

Dick "Fudd" Cheney: for providing so much opportunity for amusement

Dave Barry: for taking advantage of Fudd's gracious opportunity granted:

1. BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: We have just received this exclusive photograph of the vice-president's quail-hunting party.

3. GOOD NEWS IN THE WAR ON TERROR
   It's about time.
   
4. TODAY'S DICK CHENEY MARKSMANSHIP AWARD GOES TO...

Persons of the Week 2/11/06

Reverend Dr. Joseph Lowery:
""We know now there were no weapons of mass destruction over there but Coretta knew and we know that there are weapons of misdirection right down here. Millions without health insurance. Poverty abounds. For war billions more but no more for the poor." --at the Coretta Scott King funeral, in front of 3 former presidents and our current "president."

Former President Jimmy Carter:
"The efforts of Martin and Coretta have changed America; they were not appreciated even at the highest level of government. It was difficult for them personally -- with the civil liberties of both husband and wife violated as they became the target of secret government wiretapping, other surveillance and, as you know, harassment from the FBI." --at the Coretta Scott King funeral

John David Bubbins:
For his QPA of 3.93; Well done, David!

Nicholas Kristoff:
For his efforts to make the world aware of the disaster in Darfur and his challenge to Bill O'Reilly.
