About that dog

I love dogs, but I’ve found unsavory the media’s obsession with the First Family’s new dog.  I can’t help but suspect that the various media outlets are using the dog story as a way to fill space without actually having to report on real news.  For that reason, I pretty much avoided the dog stories and, in avoiding them, missed something extremely funny that an astute friend of mine caught.

“Have you noticed,” she observed, “that B.O. named his new dog Bo after himself? Even if it was unintentional, whatever it is always drifts back to himself.  In the midst of all the disasters, I thought that would give you a smile.”

And she was right.  It did make me smile.
