I’m not saying that electing Mitt Romney will be devastating to dogs because Mitt Romney puts his dog on the roof of his car like luggage.  I’m not saying that.

Oh hell, yes I am.

If you will put your dog somewhere you wouldn’t even put your laptop, then you’re a sick person.

Y’all, the Texas Lege did one good thing last session – they tightened laws on dog breeders.  Breeders have to provide humane treatment for their dogs including outdoor time and keeping them from becoming matted and sick.

So what do people who don’t like government regulation into their private torture of animals do?  They dump their dogs.

Residents in rural Flower Mound, near Stonecrest Road and Highway 377, called police about 1 a.m. Tuesday. Dozens of Maltese mixed-breeds were running loose along the road.

Animal control scooped up 51 pooches in about an hour. They all needed a good bath — some had fur so matted they could barely walk, according to police …

The night after that, a herd of cocker spaniels turned up in Denton County.

There is a real special place in hell for someone who would do that.  And if you can catch them, Truman will pee on their leg.

Today – yes, TODAY! – is National Taco Day.

Warning:  Void in Arizona.

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.

Last night, one of our long, long time customers, Brian, held a debate watching party in Tillamook, Oregon.  No, I did not make up that place.  There is a real place called Tillamook. Supposedly, it’s in Oregon.

He heard that a woman named Lorrie from White Salmon, Washington, (no, seriously, I am not making up these names) who had been a  delegate to the national convention was going to show up for the debate watching party at his office in Tillamook.  Brian was a national delegate, too.

So, the minute Lorrie shows up, Brian naturally asks, “Do you know Fenway Fran from The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc?  She was a delegate to the national convention from Washington.”

Lorrie is Fenway Fran.

Now, I have to tell you something weird about Oregon.  They have very confused time measurements there.  When it’s midnight Texas time, it’s not in Oregon.  So, I start getting text messages from Lorrie when she gets home about TWMDBS customers half a world away meeting and plotting.  I was half asleep but I think I did threaten to tell about the time she and I got a tipsy on bloody Mary’s at the county fair parade and mooned the Republican District Attorney as he cruised by his parade convertible is he kept waking me up with that unnatural time thing.

Brian sent a picture.  That’s Fenway Fran / Lorrie on the end of the front row.  I think they are going to purchase a franchise operation in the Pacific Northwest.

That was not Barack Obama.

Barack Obama would not let Mitt Romney strap him to the roof of his station wagon and drive it around the country for 90 minutes.

Barack Obama would not stand there taking notes and shaking his head yes while Mitt Romney lied so much that now his dog won’t even come if he calls him.

Barack Obama would not completely ignore Mitt Romney claiming to be a friend of the middle class while disdaining 47% of this country.

Barack Obama would not let Mitt Romney get away with Magic Math.

Barack Obama would have fought for you, me, and Aunt Lizzy Mae.

I do not know who that guy was, but somebody needs to find our President and send him to the next debate.

That said, I still believe that most of the American people will still not vote for Mitt Romney.

And has anybody discovered what was on his flag pin?  Diamonds?  The blood of small children who would starve under a Romney administration?  A black heart?

I bow to the genius of Margaret and Helen.

Anticipation.  An – tis-a-pa-tion, it’s making me wait….

I can hardly wait until tomorrow morning.

Ann Counter, Rick Santorum, Michelle Malkin, and Larry the Cable Guy (who is the intellectual on the panel).

Thanks to Just Suze for the heads up.

Sooooo, the big October Surprise from the GOP is that Obama is (1) a Christian, (2) Black, (3) dresses nicely, (4)  believes in a progressive income tax, and (5) thinks the government did a crappy job during Katrina.

Well, damn.  I might have to change my vote.  I didn’t know about that black thing.
