I am not easily pissed off.
However, I am now.
And I’ve got to get political.
James McMurtry sounds good right about now:
That’s a good political rant song, but I love this other song of his.
I grew up in a place like Levelland. It wasn’t level at all– just a high ridgetop. And you can’t grow cotton there– too cold. But nothing catches my feelings towards the old homestead like this as I move on to something that I hope will be better.
Great video, great song, great lyrics – but I don’t believe it’s all hopeless. If the only dog people out there were show dog people I would have quit a long time ago. But dog bless the internets – there’s you and Patrick and Gina and Christie and Dr. Khuly and Heather and Derr and other folks who aren’t psychologically beholden to the AKC.
My next poodle will be named Herbert M.
I don’t know what happens to people.
I’m not going to lecture you on how poodles are supposed to look. I think they look fine and swim with a lot of grace.
Poodles look like shit – mostly. I’ve started my hunt for one that doesn’t, but it’s an uphill battle. Knock on wood I have time….
