Another Sunday, another post with a samoyed. And, yes, Oscar's tongue is out most of the time.
If you've been feeling a bit of beagle withdrawal, here's a fix for ya...
...and here's another. Darwin was quite a bit younger in the above picture, and this one was shot by his former owner. 
And, just in case you were wondering where the hell the cats have been, wonder no longer. Toby, Alex, Easy & Josh were adamant about helping me make the bed on this particular day. It's a wonder I ever sleep on a made bed at all.Today's must read comes from the New York Times, as Frank Rich explains why "Mad Jack" McCain is going to have one hell of a time distancing himself from the policies & pitfalls of the Bush (Mis)Administration®, not the least of which is because W. simply won't hide himself away.
Mr. McCain tried to distance himself from the administration by flip-flopping on his signature issue, Iraq, suddenly endorsing just the kind of timetable for withdrawal he has characterized as “surrender” when proposed by Democrats or Mitt Romney. (When Mr. McCain proposes it, he labels it “victory.”) But hardly had Mr. McCain spoken than his message was upstaged by Mr. Bush’s partisan political speech in Israel. The president implied that Mr. Obama would have enabled the Nazis even more foolishly than his own grandfather, Prescott Bush, did in the 1930s when he maintained “investment relationships with Hitler’s Germany,” as Kevin Phillips delicately describes it in American Dynasty.
Also in the Times, though from last week, Jacques Steinberg details the wacky evolution of the risky midsummer wife-swapping drama that is CBS's Swingtown. I'll give CBS some credit for having a few balls in premiering this program at all (though, it would likely be a better fit on sister network, Showtime)...but, I subtract at least one ball for the cancellations of both Jericho & Moonlight.
Have a lazy Sunday, y'all.
