My dog is insane. Part of a continuing series.

I was sitting in the living room, minding my own business, when BLAM!  Crimson comes walking into the the room looking quite confused, and soaking wet.  I don’t know quite what happened, but all the possibilities are hilarious.  So I laughed at her.

Water, everywhere.  Floor, the freezer, the carpet under the bowls.

Near as I can tell, she either slipped and landed face-first in the bowl, stepped on the edge of the bowl, or sneezed while she was drinking.  No matter how you look at it, this dog is nuts.

I just realized why I despise Barney Frank so.

It’s not because he’s gay.  There’s plenty of gay politicians I don’t give a shit about.

It’s not because he’s fat.  Same reason.

It’s not because he’s corrupt.  I don’t like any corrupt politicians, but most of them just trigger a mild loathing.

No, it’s because he reminds me of Jabba the Hutt.  Fat, slimy, corrupt, disgusting, and you can’t understand what he’s saying because that fat tongue keeps falling out of his mouth when he talks.

Barney the Hutt (D-MA).

Let the shafting begin!

American Express just bumped the interest rate on my Blue card from 7.99 to 10.99.  This is, of course, their first response to an economic downturn: “soak the customer”.  Step 2 is “fuck the customer”.  To wit, Citi and other major banks are cutting people’s credit limits (after already raising the rates on their outstanding balances).  I expect Amex to follow suit.

Bastards.
