Pet Owners Prefer McCain Over Obama

If the presidential election were up to pet owners, John McCain could have a blue ribbon in his future.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama doesn't have a pet, though he has promised his daughters a dog after the election, win or lose.

A poll found that among people who don't have pets, Obama leads McCain 48 percent to 34 percent.

Dog owners lean toward McCain, 43 percent to 34 percent, while cat owners basically divide their loyalties with 41 percent for McCain and 38 percent for Obama.

Well that makes for an easy decision.



With all the flooding in Iowa, a homeowner's work is never done.


In today's housing market you gotta keep the lawn well manicured in case potential buyers drive by.

Did you know the United States exports several goods to Iran?

Wisconsin exports one item that totals $9.6 million and Ohio exports one item that totals $6.5 million.

Now you may say "that is a lot of bull" and you would be correct.


Their top export: Bull semen.

Now you have to wonder the method they use to gather the semen.

Do you suppose they hand the cows a copy of Playbull to get them excited?

I would like to see how they list the job description in a help wanted ad.

They say illegal immigrants only take the jobs Americans don't want. I wonder if this qualifies as one of those jobs?


Speaking of bulls, I think more women should step up like this for a good cause.

Spanish singer gets naked to save bulls


Bulls face off with a matador in the bullring, and usually wind up dead.

Alaska, a popular Spanish singer, chose to raise awareness for the cause by posing nude in a new ad campaign.

But that's not all. Even the non-famous are going naked -- sprawled in front of the bullring gates, covered in blood with fake lances in their backs.



Women unite, it's time to get people thinking about going green.

Every Saturday afternoon you should tie a green ribbon in your hair, take off all your clothes and parade around town to bring attention green cars.


Seems like a good idea to me.


Let's close with some art.

I stopped by a new art exhibit the other day and I thought I would share something that caught my eye.



It was titled "A Sign Of The Times."
