And come to think, what is the difference between a community organizer and a bichon frisee?
The community organizer expects You to sit on His lap.

[Tim Murphy]

Ah, but Kevvie, you have nothing of the frisson of the pit bull, nothing of the varieties of hockey moms, in your characterizations. Try again.

Get over ANWR. It's only a friggin wildlife refuge, not the Grand Canyon. Nobody's ever even been there! Not even I have been there. Next to Alaska, North Dakota has more acreage in National Wildlife Refuges than any other state. We farm them, we graze them, we drill them. The Duck Factory of the Lower Forty-eight. Why don't you turn yourself to California issues like water and the desertification of Mono Lake, and let Palin sort out Alaska? Her husband works at Point Barrow for the Steelworkers and Exxon Mobil.

What is the difference between a German shorthair and a community organizer?
Not much. They point and can't retrieve.

what is a community organizer? bet they come flat-packed and that's why you boys can't put them together
*grins*

[Tim Murphy]

I regret having even started this page. It presumes more knowledge of dogs than anyone here possesses. Flat packed indeed, Auntie Hen.

The difference, Tim, is that community organizers work to create healthier social conditions for the disadvantaged and downtrodden members of our societies, whereas pit bulls are the dog of choice for pimps, drug dealers, muggers and street corner hoodlums. In other words, the dog of choice of the same predatory lowlifes who prey on those of our fellow citizens who need the help of community organizers most. They are illegal in Ontario:

Pit bull ban

6. Except as permitted by this Act or the regulations, no person shall,

(a) own a pit bull;

(b) breed a pit bull;

(c) transfer a pit bull, whether by sale, gift or otherwise;

(d) abandon a pit bull other than to a pound operated by or on behalf of a municipality, Ontario or a designated body;

(e) allow a pit bull in his or her possession to stray;

(f) import a pit bull into Ontario; or

(g) train a pit bull for fighting. 2005, c. 2, s. 1 (16).

[Steve's note: Yes, there are exceptions for "grandfathered" pit bulls . . . you can read the whole act here:
Dog Owners Liability Act RSO 1990 cD16 ]

So, in the unlikely-but-nevertheless-extremely-disturbing event that there is ever a (Vice-) President Sarah "Pit Bull" Palin, don't expect an invitation to visit Ottawa. Not unless, that is, she's coming for a flyball tournament. In which case, she's welcome . . . provided she wears a muzzle and is kept on a leash "not more than 1.8 metres in length." (That's about six feet for you knuckle-dragging Imperialists.)

p.s. Read all about the "flyball ammendment" HERE . (You thought I was kidding, didn't you.)

Peace, Steve. I abhor pit bulls and adore Shar-peis. Palin's totem dog would be an elegant English Setter.

Good one, Kevin.

Hi Tim,

Yes, by all means, peace.

And in fairness, I think we can all agree that, whatever we may think of her politics, Governor Palin is an elegant--some might even say rather beautiful--woman. A setter is a good choice for totem . . . though personally I prefer the mahogany-coated Irish to the spots-n-splotches English.
