A Ticket Treat: Palin, Biden, Obama, McCain; Not here, not now

We could try to make this into a real obvious political item, noting how many dogs and cats and birds and a ferret Republican presidential candidate John McCain has as pets, and how that makes him more popular in a poll of America's pet owners.

And how Democrat Barack Obama doesn't have any pets but says he will surely get a dog of some kind after the election.

But instead, hey, it's a Saturday afternoon. We're in between debates. Some people are getting entirely too heated over this election thing.

For a change of pace, let's just watch this video that simply reminds us of laughing.

I give Barack Obama credit for not having a pet since he apparently is a smoker and that can be hard on an animal.
The question is, is that the reason he doesn't have a pet?

Thanks, Andy Malcolm, for the light-hearted frivolity in the face of impending doom. In looking for a positive spin to put upon the comming re-Carterization of our country, I can't help but smile whistfully when contemplating my parents voting for Obama in Chicago. I'm certain they will vote several times each. My dad passed on 20 years ago, my Mom merely 14, yet every election day people in Chicago vote "in their honor" ....yeah, that's the word HONOR!

Wow! This is the first time I have read the LA Times newspaper, and WOW very, very liberal articles. I don't belong here. Go McCain and Palin!

The kitten is clearly a Republican, reacting with violence toward anything it doesn't understand.
