It's Westminster Tiiiiiime!

The Westminster Dog Show kicked off today in New York's Madison Square Garden and holy moly that thing must be a shitshow (pun intended). I'm guessing it's an equally if not more insane, wacked-out crazyfest than in the movie Best In Show and it frankly is the only event at MSG that I would care to attend. Below please find a hilarious slideshow provided by the kind folks at Daily Intel.

Puppy-Pampering: the Slideshow!

Behold the poodle's fluffy feet! Marvel at the beagle's eyes filled with sorrow and wisdom! Be slightly freaked out by the prom-night fantasy sado-masochism of the chihuahua! Westminster has got it all.

Joan Rivers reflects on Madoff scandal

We've all heard about the Madoff scandal and the people whose lives it has touched/ruined, but it took yesterday's NYTimes Magazine interview with Joan Rivers to explain what it really means.

Rivers: I’m pleading with you, please say, “She lost a bundle with Bernie Madoff.”
NYT: Did you?

Rivers: No, but everybody is walking around now saying that, and that shows that you used to be very rich.

So look on the bright side, people! Losing millions of dollars in a pyramid scheme can be a good thing! At least you had millions of dollars, which is more than most of us can say, you (formerly) rich (probably) greedy bastard. Thx to Daily Intel for the tip.

A bit of levity, courtesy of Bentley

I seriously have to stop reading the Wall Street Journal. It is just too depressing. What I should be reading is the NY Daily News. Now there's a paper with real reporting. Like today's top story about Bentley, the car-driving dog:


Awwww. This story has everything: adventure, danger, fur! And the best part: no one even cared that he wrecked the coffee shop! Because it was just sooooo cute. Too bad Paulson's not a dog--it could really soften the blow of that bailout thing.

Midget Politics

"Politics makes strange bedfellows," so the saying goes. Witness this YouTube video as evidence.
