Shrimp Aid: A Benefit for Edgrr

We would like to raise awareness about a serious affliction that often remains in the shadows because of shame, sadness, and fear of the shrimp.

Remove children from the room for we are about to reveal scenes that will disgust, disturb, and horrify you:

Our poor brudder Edgrr is suffering horribly from Body Dysmorphic Disorder that prevents him from accurately perceiving his own body. Although he is a shrimp, he believes he is a 14 ton monster rather than a 14 lb menace.  We are therefore hosting a fundraiser to help treat his condition. We believe the only thing that will cure him is to send him far far away from us (maybe here) and our apparently humpable bottoms.  Will you help sponsor this beast and his long suffering sublings?  Every penny helps.  We will also accept wallymelons and ice creams to help treat our pain.


As you search for your plastic to generously donate to our cause please enjoy the tribute song the Pixies kindly wrote and performed to promote our cause:

Help Has Arrived

The State of California is in a right mess but as you can see, they have a new Top Dog. (From the SacBee)
His name is Sutter and he takes his servant Jerry Brown for regular walks. (From the LA Times). Don't worry, with a corgi in charge we know that

Everything

is under

control.

Abandoned AGAIN So Soon?

Bags are being packed for a supposed con-fur-ence on Thursday. Clues have been left as to the ape's destination.

Getting Closer to the Pawvolution

I am certain she will be joining us in our supersecret overthrow of the Naked Ape Tyranny:



My brudder's favorite teevee show is Escape to Chimp Eden, especially when the chimps are SHOUTING a lot. I think they are conveying secret plans to him which he will share with us in due time.

Don't tell your naked apes.

Pawlitics!

My ma ape teaches paw-li-tics. Ordinarily it's pretty boring stuff but I was going through her bag and she was obviously hiding a VERY IMPORTANT BOOK from me. Here it is:



It is about this fellow, Napolean, who teaches the farm animals about ANIMALISM which is about the BEST pawlitical slogan ever.

FOUR LEGS GOOD. TWO LEGS BAD!


I think I could be a good leader just like this Napolean fellow.

I think I could be a great pawlitical leader! I watched the documentary about this book. Here is part of it:



But then I saw that Napolean needed BODYGUARDS! And look at the dogs he had! Two of these!!!!


And look what I have!!!!
Here you can see they are AWESOME bodyguards!


And here are my bodyguards. You will not get to NapoleWally!

My ma ape does not need to teach pawlitics anymore. This Or Well fellow has prophesied the coming of the NapoleWally.

FOUR LEGS GOOD TWO LEGS BAD!!!

New Blog!

I let the cat out of the bag about my new blog! (That's a metaphorical cat--don't start chasing yet!). Yes, I've decided to have a blog dedicated just to paw-li-ticks! It is located here and all are welcome. If you are interested in doing a guest post explaining why YOU are Barking for Barack or if you have any good links or stories you think merit posting you can e-mail me at wallythecorgador at comcast dott net or leave me a comment.

See you at the voting booth!

Ready for my Close-Up

Are the primary results in? I'm sooooooo bored! Wake me up when the Dogocrats have a candidate.

Goofy Faces

While I was enjoying a little chicken back din-din this evening my ma ape observed that I may make some kind of funny faces while I eat.


Sissy gets a little wide-eyed and crazy when she eats, too.


Though her funniest faces are reserved for playtime.



My ma ape calls this my stroke face that I get when I'm done eating. Ahhhh...blissful satisfaction.


Both sissy and I get get a bit goofy when we fail to wrangle our tongues.


Yup, goofy.

What are your goofy faces like? Do they embarrass your friends and family?


Or is your goofiness only revealed later, in photographs?


At least some of us still retain our dignity.

SUPER TUESDAY!

Today is a very important day. Twenty-three states are voting in primaries and might pick the nominees of both parties for the election in November. It's the playoffs before the Super Bowl! Except these actually matter! Well I got all ready to vote. I cleaned my voting paw, I put on my best Mariners collar and I watched approximately 400 hours of election coverage in the last few weeks. And Wolf Blitzer is NOT worthy of the name "wolf."

And then my ma ape told me. Dogs don't get to vote. Well, this explains a lot. No wonder things get so bungled. If the Dogocrats were in charge...

So here I am, a spectator in the process. But I made sure to remind my ma ape to get to the polls early and often! (If only we lived in Chicago). I got out one of my friends--Son of Big Ass, my mini-donkey.

Yes, the Democrats' mascot is an ass. But better to have one as your symbol than as your nominee! *rimshot!* Thank you, I'll be here all day!

Remind your apes to vote! And be sure to tell them HOW to vote. I really don't trust them not to mess this one up.

A (Vick) Dog's Life!

CNN has a story about some of the dogs who were seized from the Michael Vick property last year. They were cared for and rehomed by a group out in California. And let's just say their life now sounds a bit more comfortable than the federal pen in Virginia. Some of the dogs have been taken in by Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. They have video of the dogs on their page and you can even sponsor some of them. And check it out--the dogs even have their own lawyer!

The Oakland, California-based pit bull rescue and education group Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pit Bulls, or BAD RAP, which had done similar rescues from busts in California, asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Gill for permission to evaluate and rescue as many of the dogs as possible, with the hope of eventually placing them in adoptive homes.

"Much to our amazement, he said yes," said Reynolds, who heads BAD RAP. "This doesn't happen. People don't say yes to pit bulls."

Gill declined to comment, but those familiar with the Vick case said the Justice Department hoped early on to find a way to give the dogs a second chance. As part of his plea deal, Vick agreed to pay for the dogs' care.

The court even appointed a guardian and special master, Valparaiso University animal law expert Rebecca Huss, who oversaw the dogs' disposition and recommended which rescue groups would accept them.

I hope Michael Vick buys them bully sticks and stuffy toys every day. And lobster and steaks. I hope they get access to his credit card and buy us ALL lobster and steaks.
