This sign is on Congressman Ron Paul’s desk.
It could be on any desk in any country.
My two dogs had minor operations today. Both are doing fine and have just eaten heartily. I don’t mind the vet’s bill, but 20% VAT on top? It seems rather callous of the Government to penalise us like this when [...]

I have sore knees. I took the dogs out for walkies and Muffin stopped to do a poo on the pavement. Like the responsible citizen that I am, I carry plastic poop scoop bags with me. Plus, there are sometimes faeces police in hi-viz jackets skulking around. It is one of the few misdemeanours where [...]

SadButMadLad has written a piece over at Anna Raccoon’s place about NASA’s latest claim to have found (ahem, on Earth as usual) another reason to believe in extraterrestrial life.
NASA’s original press release on 29th November didn’t give any hint of what they had discovered,
WASHINGTON — NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST [...]

Leonard Stern, writes,
Here’s the problem: The atheists don’t understand that it’s possible to reject scripture as history but still accept it as sacred narrative.
I would say the problem for Christians is that [...]

Another great idea from the Green Monster brigade.
The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found.
So you could run two of these gas-guzzlers and its carbon footprint is the same as a pet pooch? So, turning that around, a car doesn’t really [...]

For me, there are many things wrong with the country and the world. Some make me really angry or upset. You will know some of them already: abortion, sins of the flesh and traitors in high places. I used to be against fox-hunting, but you know, I couldn’t care less about it now, because a) [...]

All dogs children in Britain will be fitted with microchips which contain their owner’s parent’s details, under cross party plans designed to track family pets children.
Owners Parents will be forced to install the microchip containing a barcode that can store their pet’s child’s name, breed description, age and health along with their own address and [...]
