Me and Karen Carpenter both have trouble with Mondays, rainy or otherwise. We start to differ when it comes to taking 80 or 90 laxatives in one fell swoop, though. That was strictly her bag.
That being said, while everyone else is on Rathergate with all four feet, I found this gem:
"We were caught off guard by this perennial Republican attack-dog mentality," says Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico and a potential 2008 presidential candidate, reflecting on 2004.
That's right. Governor Bill Richardson does not know the meaning of the word 'perennial' and yet he flings it out there in public discourse just like he does, puzzling gardeners across America.
Something 'perennial' catching the DNC off guard would be pretty lame, after all.
As for attack dogs, if the media's willing to step in and wear that spiked collar on your behalf, you don't have to lift a finger.
Sorry your dog CBS got chewed to hell, Bill.
Speaking of dogs, mine ate a wall:
I don't know how she managed not to electrocute herself.
Posted by floridacracker at January 10, 2005 10:07 PMTrue story about Richardson, before he was Gov, back when he was still in DC, after he left the Clinton admin. I ran into him, not once, but twice, apparently drunk in Georgetown. At 5 or 6 in the afternoon. On the sidewalk. EIther drunk or mysteriously dizzy and disheveled.

Did you ever meet Karen Carpenter? Was she standing on a sidewalk sucking microbes out of the air for nutrition?
What kind of dog do you have? I have a drywall-lovin' golden retriever pup. He's eating me out of house & home. Literally.

We're hoping that it was just a one-time incident.
My husband says she avoided the wires because she's planning a very long and thorough demolition of our house.
That is insane! How on earth can a dog of any size chew into something uh...flat(?) like a wall?
