Corporate weasel memo of the week,
in which the unnamed suit quotes Dr. King by way of justifying why the
accounting peons should trudge into work on Monday. Bonus jargon points
for the memo's description of the "I Have A Dream" speech as an "impactful
dissertation".
Mitt Romney finally discovered 1998
yesterday, and attempted to lead campaign crowd in "Who Let The Dogs
Out". Presented without comment.
Monday 1.21
We did find a few
Martin Luther King Day sales, but none near here. Apparently there
is still a small oasis of good taste in our culture - either that or the
suits are too busy working on those ads for next month where George
Washington, Abe Lincoln and Cupid form a conga line in an effort to sell
you reconditioned mattresses.

If you've been sick of shredding all those
credit-card offers that swamp your mailbox, great news - the Direct
Marketing Association is dropping the $1 fee they used to charge for
taking your name off the list.

Just don't mess with a baboon, okay? (The
fun part is the last :30 or so)

Here are the last two of the 12 Strays of
Christmas, Buck (l) and Icey (r):
Buck:
He may
have come in as a stray, but he came in style. Sporting his own tux
compete with tail (obviously tailor made for him!), this large black and
white longhaired male walked through our doors with an air of dignity
and reserve. Now currently one of our long timers, we'd love for him to
walk back out that door with as much dignity knowing that he once again
will belong to a family.
Icey:
What
they lack in size, they more than make up for in attitude. Icey is a
female American Eskimo who found her way to the shelter as a stray. Cute
as a button and compact in size, Icey would be good for you apartment
dwellers. Due to her strong personality, though, she must remain an only
pet with minimal contact with young children.
For more information on finding these two a
new home, or any of the 12 Strays or other fine animal companions
available, go to

Monday-Tuesday 12.31-1.1
We're back Wednesday. Here's two more of the
12 Strays of Christmas:
On the left is Crybaby, on the right is
Punkeroo.
Crybaby:
She got her name because she would cry and cry when she first came to us
as a stray. With some TLC from the staff, she's a happy young girl
looking for a forever home (preferably an adult, quiet home!)
Punkeroo: Got game? This lab
does - almost to the point of Extreme Sports! Known to play fetch for
hours and obsess over all his special toys, this young male is perfect
for the active family or couple who love outdoor quality time. Special
surprise? Punky also sits like an obedience school champ. Go figure!!
For more information on these and all the 12
Strays, go to www.dcspca.org. We'll
post the last two of the 12 Strays on Wednesday, which is Miller's last
day before he hits the road with Sal. Watch the Journal blog for more on
their ongoing adventures.
