Rest Easy Sweet Jasmine and Bella

Heard the terrible news that Jasmine here on the cover of SI was hit by a car and has passed away, and Bella Rose, my friend Diane's baby lost her battles. Read Diane's letter to Bella's Abuser. What a depressing day....Ted Kennedy too! We found out yesterday that a house we have been back and forth wanting for 9 months after us making an offer was sold to someone else. I've just poured myself a glass of wine..tomorrow will be a better day! Rest in Peace...

One more week...

Ok, so only one more week until we get Obama! This picture is also a reminder that UT plays Kentucky tonight at home! GO VOLS! 

Now that deserves a fist bump. Here our President is urbanizing our youth..

Tonight on Dancing with the Stars..

Palin's NO Pit Bull

I'm not trying to go overboard here, but I'm disgusted at Sarah Palin's comparison of herself as a 'Hockey Mom' with lipstick to a Pit Bull. Why must everyone constantly use a comparison to this wonderful breed? Now if she were referring to loyalty, devotion and uncommitted love to people then I understand, but I have a feeling after the extreme negativeness of her comments on Barack Obama; I don't think that's where she was going. I'll give credit to McCain's speech writer whom has admitted writing most of her speech (and before the VP nominee was even known) and not to her on that comment, but I guess since the truth is not all in the open at the RNC then we will never know who actually wrote that punch at my favorite breed. All the work we do to get people do have a positive view of Pit Bulls and someone to throw some crap out there in the national spotlight is extremely aggravating! Google Palin Pit Bull and see what you find..

"Beneath the lip stick Palin is a Pit Bull waiting to attack", and "Palin unmasks her 'pit bull persona" Sydney Morning Herald

"Pit Bull Palin sinks teeth into Obama", Chicago Sun Times

"Clearly in Palin, McCain found the political attack dog that every good vice presidential candidate is expected to be." Salt Lake Tribune

The comments and stories with comparison to Pit Bulls in a negative light now go on and on thanks to that comment that created a roar of cheers and laughter from the Republican party. 

 I am obviously a Barack Obama supporter, but if he or any other Democrat made a comment such as this I would be equally as upset. Well here you go Sarah Palin, new darling of the Republican Party that I hadn't heard of a week ago, here's my big boy in a 'Hockey Mom' bra, its as good at it gets considering dogs don't even have lips to wear lipstick!!
