- Ah, well, that's dog owners for you, isn't it? I mean, doesn't the
- very word itself encapsulate that essence of the creature: D-O-G.
- Dog-tired. Throw a ball, it brings it back to you. Throw the
- ball, it comes back. Throw. Back. Throw. Back. Throwback.
- Happy creatures, dumb as a stick. Drooling constantly.
- Will run after cars as soon as look at one. What greater
- symbol of the Republican regime could we ask for--dumb
- loyalty. Good boy, Ollie, here's your bone.

- stress it too strongly--having Socks the cat in the White House instead
- of that dumb mutt (I mean Millie, not Georgie) is the most significant
- change in consciousness in this whole circus show. Hedonistic, indepen-
- dent, self-interested, sneaking out for the catnip to get righteously
- stoned (but don't inhale, ok,) but *very* environmentally aware--yes,
- things are looking up.
