In a world where so much is negative, I escape often into music and this kid is a wonder so, if you missed him on the news, check him out on line. "the school recital performance of "Paparazzi" by boy wonder Greyson Michael Chance just might be the best yet." It's definitely up there with the be…
YesBiscuit! does the current story justice so go read it and come on back. It is the OSPCA that is euthanizing 350 animals for ringworm; for friggin' RINGWORM. And do you know who the OSPCA is? As lousy as my memory is, I knew that looked…
How clean is your house? Not nearly as clean as you think! There are miniscule creatures living with us, on us, in us. Ditto for our pets. If you have carpet, I promise you are colonizing and feeding all kinds of critters! Oh, no, you say because you have your carpet steam cleaned regularly. C…
Mahatma Gandhi said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Joyce Tischler, ALDF founder and General Counsel, lifted these famous words and used them in 2008. I find it outrageous when an extreme activist lifts a selected phrase i…

The Gideon case is a case of bad law gone worse. The Gideons have had an incredibly good outcome but they and all other animal owners are still at risk from this and other lousy, poorly written laws, including federal, state, and local laws.
People get tickets all the time and sometimes they fight…
No doubt some of you have seen the headlines howling that Jasen Shaw is a FUGITIVE. This caught my eye immediately: "An arrest warrant was issued Feb. 10 but kept confidential until now." I almost fell out of my chair laughing!
This is a long post and those of you who follow my blog for animal rights activism issues will have to read a while before I get to that specific area but I will be getting there because many of us animal lovers are now considered more than a little freaky by the activists.
When I was young, there w…
Bias is OK, as long as you don’t try to hide it. I agree with Bill Moyers on that one! I don’t always agree with him but I have certainly learned much from watching his programs over the years. He is about to turn 76 and Bill Moyers Journal on PBS has now aired its last installment and I find mys…
And the "hits" just keep on coming! "A Chinese diplomat was beaten and injured by Houston police at the Chinese Consulate... last Saturday... HPD to assign three officers to desk duty..." Although the article refers to an investigation involving HPD and the US State Department, it is quite inte…
