Kinda dumb to be mocking environmentalists while folks in Louisiana

are being forced from their homes by floods!

Need some dog advice: WheN Pooka moved n with us, he was a scared little guy.

He didn't make a peep for a day or so, then he barked by accident. He looked around, really surprised that no one was yelling at him.

Fast forward - Pooka is very talkative and likes to bark. Normally, this is not a problem. he is a small dog and we live in a rural area. But last night either the neighbor had a new dog or had the dog chained outside. It started with a couple coyote howls. Then, up until about 3 AM, Pooka would bark, then the other dog would bark, then Pooka would bark.

So, how do I tell a dog to get off the phone and go to sleep?

Mitt's magic 61% - he wins if he gets 61% of white people -

How many "white" people have relatives who are persons of color? I'm Irish glow-in-the-dark white, but two of my nieces are mixed race. It's important to me that every opportunity open to my children is also open for them. Anyone who says a black man doesn't belong in the White House closes the doors for my nieces as well!

Will there be fisticuffs on the floor of the Republican Convention?

I figure with all the bored Tea Party delegates who really, really don't want to nominate Romney, the odds are pretty good we'll see at least one scrimmage. For me, the only question is whether the person getting beat on will be a moderate Republican, a correspondent from MSNBC or a correspondent from the Daily Show!

Predict the future: Hurrican Isaac lands in New Orleans,

the city weathers the storm in great shape due in part to excellent coordination with the federal government -

how long is it before the Republicans accuse Obama of politicizing the hurricane?
