    Like much of America, I am on the edge of my seat over what dog the Obama family will choose.  My own family faced this issue with our first dog; three of us are allergic to dander, and so we scoured the internet for a list of hypoallergenic pups.  Our choice was a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Bailey.  The choice has been literally nothing to sneeze at.

    Now that the Mayor of Alaska's 15 minutes of fame appear up -- I didn't hear her mentioned once in the span of 30 minutes on CNN tonight -- she and her spiritual soul buddies Limbaugh and Hannity will try to reassert themselves in some obnoxiously strident ways.  How long, we wonder, before they start accusing the Obama girls of palling around with known domestic terriers?  
    Okay, I admit, I heard it someplace else, but it is as amusing as the specter of Republicans fighting amongst themselves.  Mike Huckabee's new book, "Do The Right Thing," for example, takes after Mitt Romney, claiming all the other Republican primary candidates hated the guy's guts for his high-handedness and hypocrisy.  Romney, Huckabee reminds us, claimed that his opponents were flip-floppers when Romney himself changed positions as often as a beached carp.  And poor John McCain ran such an ignoble campaign, except for the concession speech, that he forfeited any potential claim to party healer, or even Grand Old Man of the party.  
    It is going to be fun to see how this dog eat dog drama plays out.  Let the super silly season begin.
