Fido Fine for the Californicated

My "Fidos" suggested that I bring this to your attention...

As one way of “dealing” with the current budget crisis, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has recklessly proposed the Fido Fine to extend the sales tax to veterinary services.

The Governor just released his 2009-2010 budget proposal, and he hasn’t dropped the Fido Fine. If the Governor gets his way, the cost of veterinary care for all animals in California, including those in families, on farms and in shelters, would go up by as much as 10%.

TAKE ACTION
Please make a brief, polite phone call to Governor Schwarzenegger at 916-445-2841 to urge him to drop the Fido Fine from the 2009-2010 budget proposal. When you call, please select your language choice and then press 5 to leave your opinion on this issue. Remember to be polite and professional, and leave your name and address so it is clear that you are a California resident. You can say:
"Hello, my name is [your name] and I'm calling from [your town] to urge Governor Schwarzenegger to remove the Fido Fine from the 2009-2010 budget proposal. Veterinary care is not a luxury and taxing it will lead to suffering, abandonment and higher costs for local humane agencies that are already overwhelmed and underfunded. Thank you."

After making your call, please send a follow-up email to your state legislators in opposition to this tax. And don't forget to tell your friends and family in California how they can take action, too.

My number one find today was FUCK YOU, PENGUIN!
Not only is it hilariously absurd, but potentially therapeutic as well.

Wow - just wow is all I can say about this 1939 Colt Handgun ad.

Ronald Kurniawan via Cgunit. Please note the title is something along the lines of "College Loan" - can't confirm because I find most artist sites annoyingly Flash, Adobe and/or whatever other crap that freaks me out a bit.
While I have more finds, I'm feeling really fatigued, scattered and cold at the moment.

Flowing Heat AKA Heat Flowing, etc. reminded me of how Derrida enthusiasts ruined Romanticism for me. Skylark is actually a very nice poem unless it has been deconstructed in so many circuitous ways you want to vomit. So I preferred sticking with those boring poets like Keats and T.S. Eliot that Berkeley couldn’t be bothered with.

When old age shall this generation waste,
Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe
Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou sayst,
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," -that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.


The early history of the work is obscure. It is listed in a catalogue of the library at Nonsuch Palace made in 1596 as "a song of fortie partes, made by Mr. Tallys." The earliest surviving manuscripts are those prepared in 1610 for the investiture of Henry Frederick, the son of James I, as Prince of Wales.

Akubi and Tanuki met their aunt for the first time yesterday and Akubi was aloof, but Tanuki seemed to bond a bit with her as you can see in this photo (more to come).

Puppies and Unicorns!

This is Tanuki when he was such a sweet little puppy.

This is Akubi making a mess of my garden during his awkward phase. Wow, he wasn't nearly as fat/fluffy as he is now.

This is Akubi and Tanuki rolling in deer shit.
