The Sock Obama Debacle (or where's your sense of humor?)

"It took less than 72 hours..." crowed one liberal blogger, to make this company withdraw their product from the free market for the sake of political correctness.
Worse yet, they felt obliged to apologize to anyone offended by the toy and compelled to shut down their website.
This corroborates the tactic of irreproachability henceforth to be ascribed to the presumed Democratic candidate (and his wife).
I only think it is funny.
If you can't stand the heat...

Baby Deer


Baby Deer, originally uploaded by Sweet Dreams & Flying Machines.

The nieghbor has inadvertantly created a petting zoo. Originally he got a goat to help maintain the yard by eating the vegitation growing near a stream that runs through it. When a roving pitt bull dog killed his goat John was angry and determined. He not only got another goat, he got a Great Pyrenees puppy to protect the goat. The dog is named Tinker, the goat Belle. He built a pen for the two and they got along famously.
The deer came along after he was rescued by John's son who was working a County road maintenance crew. They were mowing the right of way and happened upon the doe, dead, aparently having injured herself on a barbed wire fence. The fawn was with her, terrified and all alone. Meet his friends in the next two photos!
