Ten! If that was my view, I'd have a mob of kids. Truth is, the gummint doesn't even come close to covering the cost of raising a child, in loss of freedom, time, money and aggravation.
But, you KNOW this!

Do you take your kids with you to France to ski? Oh, that's right - dual income - no kids! Why hasn't such a fetus worshiper as yourself spawned a couple of whelps? Do you and your wife practice abstinence?

No "girly" dog for the Obamas

politico.com
( Thank God! What if our new POTUS chose a dog like Ten's!? )


Barbara Walters interviewed the Obamas, due to air tonight, and of course the topics of doggies came up. She, along with millions of Americans, actually sent Michelle Obama a picture of her beloved Havanese dog, Cha Cha Cha. (We're not kidding.)

Here's the back and forth between Obama and Bawbwa:

Obama: "Cha Cha?"

Bawbwa: "It's short for Cha Cha Cha."

O: "What is a Havanese?"

B: "It's like a little terrier and they're non-allergenic and they're the sweetest dogs.."

O: [Face suddenly changes.] "It's like a little yappy dog?"

Michelle: "Don't criticize."

O: "It, like, sits in your lap and things?"

M: "It's a cute dog."

O: "It sounds kinda like a girly dog."

M: "We're girls. We have a houseful of girls."

O [with hand gestures]: "We're going to have a big rambunctious dog, of some sort."

....

O: "We're getting more advice about this [what kind of dog to get] than my economic policies. No doubt about it."

Coral at the Great Barrier Reef. Rising carbon dioxide levels in the world's oceans due to climate change, combined with rising sea temperatures, could accelerate coral bleaching, destroying some reefs before 2050, said an Australian study in January 2002. (Reuters)
