Spike ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, Sparky, I'm sorry.
Is Sassafrass chipped? Does she have a collar and tags? Is she friendly with strangers? Because I've had very good luck getting dogs back that way.
TNG doesn't run off: she's a homebody. But my old dog was a wanderer, and quite promiscuous with his affections. So even when he got away, I always got a call from someone that he'd walked up to on the street, expected to be petted and fed.
Sassafras is chipped, and she was wearing her collar and tags. She's shy of strangers, unfortunately. Food may win her over with some people.
I shall keep my fingers crossed.
Bank of America helpfully freezes my credit card just about every time I donate to charity.
Please get home safe, Sass!!
I'm out of fizz! I don't know how to drink anymore! I guess I do have to leave the house tomorrow.
I hope Sass gets home safely.
I don't know how to drink anymore!
Would a bendy straw help?
Come home, Sass!
ION, it sounds like there won't be a gov't shutdown after all:
Sounds like the Republicans have given up on the Planned Parenthood and EPA riders....
Oh Sass! Go home, girl.

Kyl Walks Back Planned Parenthood Claim: It ‘Was Not Intended To Be A Factual Statement’
As ThinkProgress reported earlier today, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) defended Republicans’ willingness to shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood by falsely claiming that abortion is “well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.” In reality, just three percent of its work is related to abortion. This afternoon, CNN brought on Planned Parenthood’s Judy Tabar to discuss his comment. During the interview, CNN anchor Don Lemon relayed a statement from Kyl’s office walking back the comment, claiming the statement was not meant to be “factual”:
LEMON: We did call his office trying to ask what he was talking about there. And I just want to give it you verbatim here. It says, ‘his remark was not intended to be a factual statement, but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, a organization that receives millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, does subsidize abortions.’
