Test reveals dogs' jealous side

These findings aren't particularly newsworthy if you live with multiple dogs like we do at home.
I just think the last pic in the article tells the whole story :-)

...If you're not familiar with that look, that's one of the ways dogs say, "fuck you."

"What I would invite them to consider is that, if you want to preserve that which you value most in the American way of life, and of course you need to ask yourself, what is it you value most. That if you want to preserve that which you value most in the American way of life, then we need to change the American way of life. We need to modify that which may be peripheral, in order to preserve that which is at the center of what we value." - Andrew Bacevich

Andrew J. Bacevich on Bill Moyers Journal connecting the dots between U.S. foreign policy, consumerism, politics, and militarism.
part 1, part 2

"The Congress, especially with regard to matters related to national security policy, has thrust power and authority to the executive branch. We have created an imperial presidency. The Congress no longer is able to articulate a vision of what is the common good. The Congress exists primarily to ensure the reelection of members of Congress... As the Congress has moved to the margins, as the President has moved to the center of our politics, the presidency itself has come to be less effective...

Because of this preoccupation, this fascination with the presidency, the President has become what we have instead of genuine politics, instead of genuine democracy... We look to the next President to fix things and, of course, that lifts all responsibility from me to fix things. So one of the real problems with the imperial presidency is that it has hollowed out our politics and, in many respects, has made our democracy a false one. We're going through the motions of a democratic political system, but the fabric of democracy really has worn very thin." - Andrew Bacevich

sorry folks, i guess i'm more at peace with my outrage than i used to be. i don't feel so compelled to post anymore. i'm still passionate, maybe even more so, but in a different way, my focus is different. i also have a lot less "free" time than i used to. but i rather not post than to try to churn stuff up just to keep this page active.
