Saturday

Warm and sunny -- 89 degrees (31.7 Celsius) and a bit humid. Temps have been above normal for the season the past few days. Need to run a couple of errands today.

In national news, I see that loon Christine O'Donnell has cancelled her scheduled appearances on Face the Nation and Fox News Sunday. Color me shocked, but not very. I imagine they had to cancel the latter to make it look good, because on the former they might have asked her about the mice with human brains and why it would have been wrong to lie to the Nazis, even if you were hiding Jews. No, for real. Of course, she said that way back in 1998, so maybe she's gotten smarter since then. But I doubt it.

Otherwise ... here's a pic of a cute kid on the back of a giant ox. Honestly, it looks like this should be on a postcard. *g*

The Tea Party never ceases to astonish me. It's like a Monty Python Sketch ("The Idiocracy") except not funny. The photo on the other hand is great. I only wish that they had also identified the dog. It looks like a Tamaskan, but it could also be a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, or Utonagan. No way it's a Saarlooswolfhound based on its' evident relaxed temperament. This dog fanatic would like to know, though.

Heh, the Idiocracy is a perfect term for the Party of Tea.

I thought at first glance the dog was a Siberian Husky, but it's not. I might think it's a Norwegian Elkhound, but maybe the legs are too long.

While it could be a Siberian cross, it's no Elkhound. Size aside, the head and body are much too long and lean (Elkhouds are much more cobby and smaller). As I said, I'm pretty sure it's a Tamaskan as the breed is proving popular for therapy dogs. Then again, it could just be a Husky/GSD cross... :D

The Tea Party also has resonances of Alice In Wonderland to me, either half-asleep or more than a little mad.

*Googles tamaskan dog*

Wow, what a gorgeous breed. And yeah, I think you're right about the dog in the photo.

More than a little mad, definitely.
