For the animal lovers, this is tough to watch.  Makes you wonder if a human could not have come to the rescue sooner.  The fellow canine’s actions are simply amazing.

Dog saves injured buddy from busy highway

December 3, 2008

PTL!  The dog survived!

Message to drivers:  Please be careful and watch out for the animals that share our earth.  Be a “Good Samaritan.”

Hat tip, Mollygood’s Lowest Common Denominators.

UPDATE

Homeless dog tries to save dog hit by car in Chile in Santiago, from the AP on December 8, 2008.

Sadly, the homeless dog  that wandered out onto a busy highway did die. A highway crew worker pulled both dogs away from the median where the rescuer dog pulled his friend to safety.  The rescuer dog ran away, although many called in to try to adopt him.

Please keep your animals safe.  Please respect and protect any of God’s creatures that may unwittingly find themselves in harm’s way.

The Blackening And Whitening Of Obama

Mollygood ponders Did ‘GQ’ Blacken Barack?

See the images side by side here.

Maybe Mollygood has a point after all.  Time, Rolling Stone, and GQ magazine covers appear to demonstrate that contrast.

Instant morphed suntan?  Or expected gradations in contrast, hue, and color from typical photography?

Time.

Rolling Stone.

GQ.

Frankendork

Leave it to No Sheeples to come up with a catchy satirical  image and moniker for Al Franken.  See Frankendork The Clown.

The Clown Who Thinks He’s Critically Vital To The Democrats Nationally reviews Minnesota Senate challenger Al Franken’s persistent attempt to find more votes in his bid to overturn the Minnesota Senate race, which could help bolster the Democrat’s numbers to obtain a majority.

But it is not enough for Franken to challenge the recounts.  Now a New York Times guest op ed columnist, Charles Seife,  has entered the fray.  Despite repeated recounts showing incumbent Senator Norm Coleman consistently pulling out ahead with more votes each time, Seife feels that it is a “statistical tie,”  and the only fair way to settle it is to “flip a coin.”

Newsbusters also disagrees with this “statistical tie” claim.

Whatever happened to the entire premise of an election, where the winner is determined by garnering the most votes?  Like what Coleman has already done?  Clowns will be clowns in the world of politics.
