Well, that is pretty exciting news for Delaware. I didn't even realize states have official dogs. Good stuff here.

Yeah, I can't say that Pugs are all that excited though.

Priest goes to jail would not be news if he was molesting children, but this guy killed a nun, 26 years ago, on easter. Some kind of ritual.

and we think the Muslim religion has issues.

The talk of Australia at the moment is the miners that were freed on Tuesday. Australia is getting behind them and raising money for their families, all those who helped, the Knight family who lost their son/brother and the people of Beaconsfield. I am so proud to be an aussie today :)
