Got an email from commentor Vida Loca:
Since you often seem to post pet pictures I thought you might be interested in the attached picture of Charlie, a shepherd mix who’s the best buddy of a couple of friends of mine.
Charlie’s political instincts are highly developed, here he’s in the process of delivering an editorial comment on our Governor.
Happy Friday, y’all…

If this doesn’t go viral I’ll eat my hat.

BEST. PET PIC. EVER.

Best argument yet for getting a pooch.

I hear Bill Clinton is in Wisconsin to fire up the troops. It’s probably asking too much for the Big Dog to pose for a similar photo.
Raven
@Kane: He’s also criticizing the Bain attacks.

Compared to Walker’s, that dog’s sh*t don’t stink.

That’s brilliant!

Good doggie!

That may be the most uninspired political yard sign design I have seen in my life. White text on black background is all they could come up with?

Short of Two Girls, One Walker… I can’t imagine a better picture.

Doggie: I sh*t with Governor Walker.

What a good boy! Good Charlie!

Fisher vs Texas is asking for an ethnicity-neutral admission policy for Texas colleges. The twist is that Asian-Americans are pushing for it. Turns out their high scores and grades are being disadvantaged to maintain a white/Hispanic/black balance.

@Egg Berry: I thought that little fact would make a real difference in your judgment. Details can be important.

The DOJ is telling Florida to stop the voter roll purge.
After all the hyperventilating about how “OBAMA HOLDER ARE USELESS WHY AREN’T THEY DOING ANYTHING”, I fully expect the resident firebagger trolls to move on to something else not acknowledge this.
WereBear
@lol: I intend to not let them… I wish to bring this up as often as needed!
I am so much on pins and needles over this Walker thing. The fact that it’s close is a stark reminder of how half the country understands very little.

Who’s a good doggie?! Yes, you are!

@WereBear:
It’s not close, WereBear.

@Sally Rakowski: What do you mean? Last I heard it was neck and neck…

@WereBear:
I wonder if the attacks on Milwaukee are going to backfire. Walker exempted police because police unions often support conservatives. That blatantly political move is the reason part of his law is probably invalid:
Barrett is taking Walkers attack on Milwaukee and turning it into an attack on Milwaukee law enforcement. That’s a problem for a conservative.
Police were the grass roots local drivers behind Kasich’s union-busting loss. They hate him because they (now) know he has contempt for them, and they supported him. They were rabid.

@WereBear:
Last poll by Marquette Law School showed Walker in front 52-45.
Recall Election Could Foretell November Vote
This morning’s rise in the Unemployment rate probably didn’t help things, either.

Finally, someone who appreciates Lil’ Scotty, the KochSuckes cabana-boy!
Walker – he’s “poop”ular with dogs!.

@WereBear:
Too, the moderator of the debate last night pinned Walker down on Right to Work (private sector unions) and Walker wouldn’t answer the question. He can’t say he’d veto Right to Work, because that’s not what he’s telling his donors, so he would not commit to vetoing RTW.
That’s exactly what Mitch Daniels did, and then Mitch Daniels promoted and signed RTW when he no longer needed private sector union support (40%) to get elected, because he’s termed out. Daniels screwed his private sector union supporters, and that was just months ago.
feebog
Marquette has been over sampling conservatives in the most recent polls. Or at least that is the Dem line and they are sticking to it. I frankly don’t see how this is even close, let alone Walker leading. A poll out a couple weeks ago showed 39% of Union households backing Walker. That is an unbelievable number. These people are literally cutting their own throats and doing so knowingly.

“I have a police department that arrests felons. He has a habit of hiring them.” Tom Barrett last night to Scott Walker.
It’s going to be very close. It’s all about GOTV. Love the pic.
gnomedad
Sorry, gonna be contrarian about this. This sort of thing is all over the wingnut sites, and they think they’ve totally owned whoever’s sign is getting pooped/peed on.
Thoughtcrime
Does Charlie have an Eastern European accent, smoke cigars and wear bow ties?

@WereBear: Sally Ratf**kowski is a right wing troll, more subtle that Cavernitas. Ignore her.

During Frank Murkowski’s tenure as governor of Alaska, a few Juneauites would attach copies of his picture to toothpicks and insert said objects into piles of dogshit along popular walking trails.
WereBear
@arguingwithsignposts: Gotcha. Thanks!
Mino
@lol: I’ll be the first to say I’m glad to see them move on it, but it doesn’t substantially change my opinion of Holder. Are you a big fan of his?

Finally, a constructive use of dog shit.

That is One SMART Dog.
Definitely a LOT SMARTER than Some People I Know.

@Mino:
Who do you think would have been better than Holder, and why do you think that?
Mino
@Burnspbesq: Anyone who would have asked for the resignation of all U.S. Attorneys, as was the tradition until Obama.
Aardvark Cheeselog
Am I the only one who hopes the friends picked up Charlie’s turds?
Ruckus
@Aardvark Cheeselog:
Normally I’d say not even close but in this particular instance I’d have to say absolutely.

What an eloquent dog! Conveys my feelings about Scott Walker perfectly.
