File this one under "What idiot does this, anyway?"

Yosemite Mitt has pissed off PETA. See, about 25 years ago, he and his family went on a road trip with the family dog riding in a dog carrier strapped to the roof of the car. Which is against the law in Massachusetts. Of course, the statute of limitations has come and gone. But the question remains: why not just a. let the dog ride in the car or b. put him in a nice kennel?

I remember my mom took the family dog with us to visit my grandparents in Maryland. The dog rode in the car and stuck her nose in the car's air conditioner. Which was pretty funny. But neither here nor there.

PETA compares Mitt's dog riding on the roof to torture. The ASPCA is more restrained in its response: "Any manner of transporting a dog that places the animal in serious danger is something that we'd think is inappropriate."

This is another installment of "Mitt Romney, the Unintentionally Hilarious Presidential Candidate."

They forgot to mention "(C) fucking slow." Don't the people at the MTA feel really stupid when they say shit like this? MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in...

Some perspective, please

Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
