I’m not convinced that Lumiere is not an idiot. The trainer we’ve been working with at Man’s Best Friend in Woodstock told us early on that his stubbornness was a sign of a smart dog. I just don’t know. I’ve shared videos before of Lumi running in circles in the backyard and barking at nothing (which he still does occasionally). Lately though, he’s been barking at Christmas decorations that are higher than him. Snow flakes, a kissing ball, even the Angel on top of the Christmas tree, nothing seems to be safe. I swear, if the dog had a medical id bracelet it would only say IDIOT on it.

As usual with us, we set up our train under the Christmas tree (whats Christmas with out a train under the tree?) and the girls like it. We’ve all taken turns playing conductor and at first, Lumiere seemed to like it. After a little closer inspection though, the dog seems to be threatened by the train. Take a look.

In a time when most candidates are releasing holiday themed ads Romney releases one where he comes to the rescue for a friend of his and Huckabee draws fire for an almost non-issue. As you can see in the image, Mike is cleverly positioned in front of a bookcase and a christmas tree in his new Christmas spot. Some though, are claiming its a subliminal message in the form of a cross behind him.

Maybe I need a new pair of HDMI cables on my setup so I can see it better, but I don’t see the connection or the subliminal message here. Its a simple holiday ad wishing voters a Merry Christmas. From where I sit, this freakin country has gotten to PC for its own good.

Time magazine has named their person of the year for 2007 and this one comes as a bit of a surprise to me. Vladimir Putin (the former Russian President who managed to get his buddy elected as President and have himself installed as Prime Minister) is the lucky receipient this year and after reading the time article its easy to see why he was picked over people like Al Gore, JK Rowling and General Petraeus.

Putin started as a KGB agent and in 2000 became Russia’s President. According to time Magazine:

he has performed an extraordinary feat of leadership in imposing stability on a nation that has rarely known it and brought Russia back to the table of world power. For that reason, Vladimir Putin is TIME’s 2007 Person of the Year.

Time states very plainly that the honor of Person of the Year is not an endorsement, or a popularity contest, but more a view of who has had the greatest impact on the world in the past year (looking at some of the past receipients, Bush, Gingrich, YOU, Hitler) its easy to see how they can make that claim. Its always interesting to see who they pick and why they chose them. This might be one issue, I go and pick up.

Any way, here’s to you Putin, here’s your unflattering photo and your shiny gold cufflinks. You Da Man!

Who thought the railroad wouldn’t last? I can honestly say it wasn’t these two. Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley have teamed up on “I feel like singing today” and released an amazing bluegrass collection that any BG fan would love. Listen to the sound on “Who Thought the Railroad Wouldn’t Last” and tell me you don’t like it I dare you.
