Dog 'for' Ron Paul Looks Utterly Humiliated:

Everybody meet Keelut, who was forced by his owner to attend the California Republican Party Convention in Los Angeles, wear that sloppy-ass sandwich board, and act like he supports a moron. - Gawker

So how shall we dress Linky and Fritzz? And no, Linky can not support Hillary again.

SOOOOO Glad Colbert is Back!:

After announcing it to Congress last week, President Obama unveiled the $450 billion American Jobs Act at the White House on Monday. The next morning, Fox & Friends ripped the President for fastening the 200-page bill with a “chintzy clip,” a move Stephen Colbert described as “Clip-gate” on…

Fritz Hints at Why Laughter Feels So Good:

The simple muscular exertions involved in producing laughter cause an increase in endorphins, the brain chemicals known for their feel-good effect.

Two little shaggy pups having a blast in Breckenridge. This should keep the Hawkeyes quiet for a bit.

So this is the saddest thing ever. From the NYT:A video of a dog apparently mourning the death of his owner at a funeral has gone viral, prompting an outpouring from viewers around the world.

The footage was captured by a woman whose cousin Jon Tumilson, a member of a Navy Seal team, was killed in Afghanistan when his Chinook helicopter was hit by enemy fire on Aug. 6. A funeral service was held for Mr. Tumilson in Rockford, Iowa, last week and attended by 1,500 people.

But also in attendance was Mr. Tumilson’s loyal Labrador retriever, Hawkeye. The dog wandered over to his owner’s flag-draped casket and lay beside it throughout the service.

Struck by the gripping image, Mr. Tumilson’s cousin Lisa Pembleton took a picture and shared it with relatives. The image was published in local newspapers and quickly went viral on the Internet, capturing intense interest around the globe. A video of Hawkeye beside the casket was also shown on nightly newscasts.

Ms. Pembleton told one media outlet, Home Post, a blog about military life, that Hawkeye was her cousin’s “loyal son.”

I hadn’t planned on taking any pictures other than with family. However, from my seat at the funeral, I felt compelled to take one photo to share with family members that couldn’t make it or couldn’t see what I could from the aisle. This is that photo.

Stephanie LaFarge, a psychologist and senior director of counseling at the A.S.P.C.A., said that while no one can know for sure simply by looking at the image, she believed that the dog was aware that his owner was in the casket. Many dogs go through a grieving process similar to what humans experience after the death of a spouse or friend but with some differences, she said. Some dogs have been known, for example, to stay near or return to the places where they last saw their owners, in many cases their grave sites.

“There are famous stories of dogs returning to a grave site every day for five years, and you can’t account for that by saying he can smell the body there,” she said. “In fact, dogs return to the grave sites of their companion dogs and animals that they grow up with.”

Ok, small note - below are three videos. I suggest you watch them in reverse order: Conan, Nike, Miracle Speech - as I just don’t know how to change the order of them on my blog. Ok, go watch, then do something incredible.

Ok. So most of you are too young to know what this speech is a take off from - but it is from one of the greatest inspirational moments of the underdog being victorious. You can see the original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwpTj_Z9v-c

The clip you get is basically my sisters favorite in the whole world and can remind us to laugh a bit in this struggle…and that we should never have our 5 y/o memorize speeches as this is bound to be a red flag for his interpersonal skills later in life.

Ok, I just watched it again and it can’t help put a smile on your face, especially thinking some little 5 y/o could inspire the sox to actually beat the yankees. HA!

We have a bit of a pity party going on over here at 1510 and Fritz was supposed to bring the beer and he forgot (typical). So a trifecta of videos to watch to inspire you. For the first Conan speaking to Dartmouth. Probably the best most realistic speech not only graduates should get, but we should all get every 5 years. Start at minute 17 if you want the condensed version, but find the time to watch/listen in the background to the whole thing. It is incredible.
