Gov. Palin, pit bulls and hockey moms (1)
on
Pet Connection Blog (6) permalink
Here’s the “joke,” for those who didn’t hear it, from Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention: “What’s the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom? Lipstick.” It annoyed me when she said it, and it continued to annoy me as it kept being repeated as one of the “highlights” of her speech. Why? Because it just continues to reinforce the stereotype of pit bulls as crazed and aggressive. ...Shared by Karie (6)Contribute comment - Disaster Supply Kit (1)

Yeah, we know the reports of most storms are overblown. But New England can and does get some doozy storms from time to time - storms that knock out power, close roads, cause floods, rip off roofs, throw trees onto buildings, etc. If a major hurricane or blizzard hits, are you ready? Do you know what you would drink if the water was not safe? What you would eat if the power went out? How ...Shared by Karie (6)Contribute comment -

Cat's Puppia Mini Bag: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten? (1)
permalinkMy favorite thing about going back to school was picking out a new backpack. However, ummm, I don't think my pet needs one. First off, North would probably chew through the sack to get his lunch out. And as crazy cute as this cat looks with a bag of her own, I can't imagine many kitty owners would spend the $25 on this . . . especially since most of your cats never leave home. ...Shared by Karie (6)

Student Sentenced to Death For Downloading an Article (2)
onAs much as we debate the legality/illegality of downloading certain things on the Internet, I don't think any of us has ever feared for our lives because of our Internet download activity. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as we are; a 23-year-old student in Afghanistan is currently sitting on death row because he downloaded an article on women's roles in Islam on the Internet. Seen as blasphemy, the young man now faces death. Please ...Contribute comment
