"Big, black dogs just don't get adopted"
Andrew Hiller on this story: "It's time to stop barking, and start listening. An invitation to a national conversation on dog race." Heh.
As the owner of a big, black dog, I am personally offended by the prejudice against said dogs, and I hereby demand that all the presidential candidates immediately and personally reject and denounce the dog-racist sentiments which CNN has bravely shined a light on... and if any candidate does not do so within the next five minutes, I will consider him or her to be presumptively a dog-racist! :P
C'mon, Brendan. We all know certain types of dogs aren't electab...I mean, adoptable.

Blame "The Omen."

I would just like to publicly apologize for accidentally referring to Andrew Hiller as "Andrew Hillary" in the initial version of this post. Clearly, I have elections on the brain...

I feel your pain, Andrew. That sort of thing happens to me all the time.

It's ok. A sweet old man I used to visit used to call me that sometimes. It was kind of a nice memory.

Correction: Brendan has a TALL black dog, not a BIG black dog.

BTW, how's ole Robbie doing? His short legged buddies miss seeing him.

Brendan - your demand merely proves that, upon this subject, *you* are dog-matic !

And, speaking of diplomatic phrasings ... try this ...

Robbie is good. He's been enjoying sleeping in the hot weather. He found a playmate in our complex, but I know he prefers the hounds. ;)
