A PAIR OF RAGGED CLAWS SCUTTLING ACROSS THE FLOORS

NO ONE Is Winning The Nobel In Remembering Prominent Dog Birthdays

Everyone was very unkind to Bo Obama the dog, who celebrated his first birthday ever on October 9th. So Bo Obama was born last October, and then in April Ted Kennedy, not yet dead, bought the dog from a rescue shelter that was actually a reputable dog breeder and just gave him to Barack Obama. Anyway, Mazel Tov Bo Obama, also sorry, etc. but in retrospect it is probably a good thing that everyone was too distracted to offer up some TRULY WINNING bon mots about the President jumping the gun getting you a present for your second birthday. Chew on that—Richard Cohen’s wit—little puppy. [White House Blog]

    I can haz rawhide bone?

  2. if bo soetero is really one year old then where’s his long-form pedigree proving it?

  3. Looks like Bo got dressed up for the march this weekend.

    So where’s the WND/Red State frothing at the mouth screed about how Portie Water Dogs are the pet of Satan/Communist/Facist/Socialist/Reverse Racist/Librul/Demoncrap Furriners who are allied with the saucer people of Omnicron Persei 8 as described in Leviticus or Revelations?

    Me, I’m a cat man.

  6. gurukalehuru says at 10:48 am, October 12th, 2009

    Hell, I miss my brothers’ and sister’s birthdays by more than that. Nieces and nephews I sometimes forget entirely.
    Happy Birthday anyway, bobokins.

    On October 9, we were all Portuguese, and cute.

  8. Johnny Zhivago says at 10:59 am, October 12th, 2009

    Yep, ain’t it just like those Portuguese, can’t decide whether they were Nazis or Communists or both. I say bomb the whole country and their ugly dogs and let the Lord sort them out.

  9. geminisunmars says at 11:00 am, October 12th, 2009

    I’d cuddle that.

  10. nbawriter says at 11:01 am, October 12th, 2009

    A Portuguese dog gets a gift? For what?? What has he done??? He’s only been in the White House for seven months.

    NOBOOBAMA.

  11. NOBOOBAMA is my favorite neologism this morning!

  12. ChernobylSoup v2 says at 11:18 am, October 12th, 2009

    Butterstick’s gay?

  13. proudgrampa says at 11:21 am, October 12th, 2009

    TVarmy: Sounds like the name of a character in a Star Wars movie.

    NOBOOBAMA!!

  14. Billy Kristol is mightily annoyed at this paradoy of birthday anniversaries, noting that the far more deserving Archduke Leopold V of Austria (1586 - 1632) was also birth-ed on October 9.

    Plus, William le Grand Guignol wants Bo sold back to the Swedes Norwegians.

  15. V572625694 says at 11:25 am, October 12th, 2009

    I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled.

  16. DoctorCulturae says at 11:38 am, October 12th, 2009

    NOBELNOBOOBAMA!!1!

  17. Vulpes82 says at 11:40 am, October 12th, 2009

    That’s what Barry should get Bo for his birthday: Richard Cohen to chew on! His old, stringy sinew should provide Bo with days of enjoyment, as well as contributing to world peace.

  18. geminisunmars says at 11:48 am, October 12th, 2009

    Vulpes82: But think of the doggy breath.

  19. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:55 am, October 12th, 2009

    Ooooooooooh, who wins the Noble Prize for cute widdle doggie-doginess? Oh YES! *YOU* do you sweetwiddle cutie pie doggie-doggie-doggiekins! Oh yes you DO!

  20. hobospacejunkie says at 11:58 am, October 12th, 2009

    Vulpes82: That would be giving Bo the dog a Jew toy.

    Get it? Jew toy/chew toy?

    I hate myself.

  21. Way Cool Larry says at 12:00 pm, October 12th, 2009

    I’m still trying to figure out this “retweet” thing– why would you want to retweet rather than just tweet?

  22. freakishlystrong says at 12:09 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Goddamn, could that fucking dog be any cuter??

  23. hobospacejunkie says at 12:09 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Tweet & Retweet were sitting in a tree. Tweet fell down so that left…Retweet.

    OK, Tweet & Retweet are were sitting in a tree…

  24. ifthethunderdontgetya" says at 12:10 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Way Cool Larry: tweet tweet retweetle-itweet!
    Rockin’ Robin.

  25. Way Cool Larry: Thank you.

  26. proudgrampa says at 12:16 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Way Cool Larry: If we retweet, that means the terrorists have won.

  27. user-of-owls says at 12:18 pm, October 12th, 2009

    pampl: Speaking of things that sound like they should be other things: Bo Soetero.

    Boso Terro? A Chilean winery?
    B. O’ Sotero? Obama’s Muslim-Irish cousin?
    Beauseau Terreau? A rural parish in Louisiana?
    ‘Bos-Ote-Ro? A tropical disease endemic to Namibia?

    And I wonder why I never get merit raises.

  28. charlesdegoal says at 12:19 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Wazzup? Dog’s been here too long. Can we move on to the next item?

  29. user-of-owls says at 12:20 pm, October 12th, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Really, it’s low-hanging fruit.

    Portuguese + Water = Provincetown!

    GAY GAY GAY!

  30. Today, we are all dogs.

  31. hiphophitler says at 12:21 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Um, Bo old pal? Just fair warning, but usually around this time they take you to an antiseptic little room, slip you a couple of roofies, and cut your balls off. Just a word to the wise.

  32. Holy Cow!! says at 12:21 pm, October 12th, 2009

    And get now a word on the blog about the HRC dinner yesterday.

    Guess the dog is more important than gay rights.

  33. Snarkalicious says at 12:35 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Holy Cow!!: Damn right. That dog will be cute FOREVER. Ghey is just a fad, and buttsecks is chitty.

  34. user-of-owls says at 12:40 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Holy Cow!!: You realize, of course, that any post on that dinner here would likely not be an earnest plea for tolerance and equality before the law, right?

    Oh and, “get now a word”? Is this like, “get thee to the nunnery” or somesuch?

  35. It’s the birtday of some special today:

  37. Holding Out for a Hero says at 12:54 pm, October 12th, 2009

    Does that thing have eyes? I can’t tell.

  38. proudgrampa says at 12:55 pm, October 12th, 2009

    x111e7thst: Jebus. We are freakin’ doomed.

  39. Holy Cow!! says at 1:14 pm, October 12th, 2009

    I meant the White House’s blog.

  40. New line of ‘Bo Obama’ action figures in 3…2…1

  41. x111e7thst: I AM COMPLETELY NEUROTIC BECAUSE OF MY CAT AND MY CAT ALONE. Thank god I now have a reason.

  42. A slow news day is a Bo news day.

  43. Johnny Zhivago says at 1:44 pm, October 12th, 2009

    x111e7thst: This builds a strong case for repealing cat owner sufferage.

    Cat owners end up voting for candidates who are furry, purr a lot and chase rodents. Exactly the wrong kind of people we need running our country.

  44. Lascauxcaveman says at 2:07 pm, October 12th, 2009

    x111e7thst: Interesting article. Although it occurred to me you could become neurotic faster, if you cut out the middle man (rodents) and ate your cat’s feces directly.

    Waitasec. I guess if you did that, you’d already be pretty far-gone neurotic.

  45. user-of-owls: This relates very vaguely to my contention that the President could disarm the wingnuts by changing the spelling of his family name to O’Baughma.

  46. OMG! The President’s dog just got lei’d! O.K. Now I have that hoary pun out of my system, I can get back to choosing tomorrow’s pajamas and velvet dressing slippers.
