Voteration Day!

Hey! The gang is all here! It is a most exciting (and potentially most awful!) day! Time to vote! First we will tell you about the terrible awful thing our ma ape did.

She left behind this level of intense cuteness.

To go to Dee Cee to see these considerably LESS cute fellows.

She had the same idea as 200-some thousand other people!

Can you see the stage? Neither could she! But she did enjoy the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.

She did see some very interesting signs.

One of her most favorites.

Haha! Chicago Bears!

Some funnies.

And some most wordy but erudite signs:

But this one really spoke to us:

We would now like to give some predictions.

Otis predicts some people less qualified and intelligent than our tennis ball monkey will be elected.

Edgrr and Oscar are giving a visual representation of how they feel about some of the candidates.

And here Edgrr gives a visual representation of our nation during this election.

But at least we can say in Delawares:

A Report of Abandonment!

Our ma ape is going away AGAIN! But this time not all the way to Nebraska. She is going to DEE CEE for a few days. And we were all, "But ma ape your favoritest person was there LAST weekend!"

And made an angry face and wouldn't give us snacks. Well, we asked her to say hi to our bestie.

Don't worry, ma ape! We'll have everything under control!

The Apes Strike Again

I blog a lot about myself and a lot about dogs. And I also blog a lot about the naked apes, mostly my exasperation with them. And I admit I'm having a bit of a tiff with the apes right now. I'm very sad about the Kentucky Derby and Eight Belles (left above), the horse who ran herself to death, like many horses do. Though we should be clear, she ran for her apes and was rewarded with a second place and a death on the track. I know you apes have a lot of responsibility, fancying yourself the top of the food chain and having reason and all that. I just wish you'd take it a little more seriously sometimes.

From the NYT:

There were 15 horses at 39 North American tracks who failed to finish a race Saturday. Nine of them were reported to have been so injured or unsound that they had to be vanned off the track in an equine ambulance. Although the official result charts published online by Daily Racing Form do not provide any veterinary commentary beyond “broke down,” “pulled up,” or “went wrong,” a gut feeling based on racetrack experience leads me to presume that some of those stricken animals met the same beyond-hope fate as Eight Belles, and required euthanasia.
