Hi Humans,

Don't be shy. If you want to comment on my blog entries, please do so. You don't have to be a dog to say what you think. or if you have a pet dog and want to have your dog speak for you, that's also OK. I would like to hear from you or your dog.

The Fiscal Cliff

Hi Humans,
As groups, you humans seem to create your own artificial disasters. You would think that with your big human brains, you would be busy enough dealing with the real natural problems like running out of usable fuel, edible food, drinkable water, and breathable air (although even those problems are largely caused by you oink oink humans and affect all of us creatures). But instead you focus on your human economy which is a system which you guys created to regulate stuff. Now the American Congress created this artificial "Fiscal Cliff" which is a game of chicken between the political parties. We dogs with our little brains would never think up such nonsense. Maybe you humans need to grow up. Oh well, what do I know? I'm just a dog.

Human Scandal

Hi Humans,
It's amazing how important humans in the public eye can be so silly when it comes to sexual attractions. You would think that those extra smart humans with their extra big brains would have a sense of priority, and not throw away the really important things they do so that they can act sexually like us dogs. On the other hand, many of us dogs aspire to be more like humans (although I don't really know why).

Compatible Ideas

Hi Humans,
You humans often are so insistant that your idea is right and some other idea is wrong and completely incompatible with your idea. This human attitude can make compromise and progress difficult if not impossible. For example, during the recent election campaign, Mitt Romney said in one of his speeches something like he wants to save the economy and Obama wants to save the oceans. In other words, the economy problem is real, and the world's resources problems are not. I imagine there are humans with the opposite point of view, i.e. don't worry about the economy, but the planet needs to be saved. The reality is that both are necessary. Money is the system that you humans have chosen for trade during the last few thousand years, and it seems to work, But the monetary system will not do all of us creatures much good if the water is undrinkable, the air is unbreathable, food is inedible, and the land is inundated with rising oceans from global warming.
That's what this dog thinks, but what do I know? I'm just a dog.

Congratulations


President Obama,
Congratulations on your election. Now that the election is over, it's back to business. I like that you immediately started to reach out to the Republicans to get moving on the economy.

Civility

Hi Humans,
You Humans with your big brains claim to be so civilized compared to all of us other creatures. Yet, I have overheard some Republican Humans speak about President Obama with extreme hatred from the day he took office. Why? Could his race have something to do with it? No!!! You Humans are too civilized for that. Not like us dogs!

Who is Squandering the Future?

Hi Humans,
There has been an ad on television by one of Romney's super pacs in which an actress implies that President Obama's policies are squandering away her children's future. First of all, President Obama has spent the last 4 years fixing the economic melt down caused by the preceding Republican administration. Also, there is more to the future than the economy. The Republicans disdain any effort to conserve the resources of the planet, like the air we breathe and the water we drink. They claim that global warming is fiction although the polar ice caps are already melting and driving up the elevation of the oceans. Climate change is a reality that is already happening! Actually the Republicans are the spendthrifts. They just spend your money on different things than the Democrats, and they spend more than just money.
We dogs and other creatures have to share this planet with you. So, please don't be so stupid. Listen to your scientists. Start thinking about the whole future, not just money. Can we dogs trust you humans with your supposed big brains to do the right thing? I hope so.

Obamacare Will Help the Economy

Hi Humans,
At one point during the election campaign, Romney said something like people without health insurance and without the means to buy medical care can go to an emergency room if they need care. Emergency rooms are for emergencies. They are notoriously expensive and inefficient for routine medical care. Someone ultimately pays for this expense, and the someone is you. So don't buy the Republican argument that Obamacare will cost too much money. It is not true.

Obama or Romney?

Hi American Humans,
Well the election is almost here. I hope you are voting for President Obama. He inherited a financial mess created by the previous Republican Administration that spent money wildly and inefficiently and paid for their spending by borrowing heavily. Also, their lack of regulation allowed Romney's friends on Wall Street to gamble away America's fortune and leave the tab with the public.
In the last 4 years, President Obama renewed America's standing in the world, avenged 9-11 by getting rid of Bin Laden, completed our job in Iraq, put us on course to completing our mission in Afghanistan, saved capitalism, saved America's automobile industry, and has started bringing the economy back to life as evidenced by the creation of jobs, a vibrant stock market, and the beginning of a turn around in the real estate market.
Governor Christie, a Republican, has praised President Obama's quick action in coming to the aid of humans affected by Hurricane Sandy. When ths chips are down, Obama comes across! Can you depend on Romney? He changes his story when it suits him. He does not tell the truth. He says the first thing he will do in office is get rid of Obamacare to please his constituents on the Right. But in the debates, when he has to get down to details, he says he is for the various concepts like not allowing the insurance companies to deny pre-conditions to please Centrists whose votes he needs. Well, what is Obamacare if not those details? Which constituents will Romney screw if he is elected? Will he morph into a Liberal with a Romneycare that is for practical purposes only different from Obamacare in name to please the Centrist whom he seduced to get elected? Or will he scuttle any kind of health care plan to please his Right Wing base?
If you Humans with your big brains don't know, don't ask me. I am just a dog.
