The small government libertarian in me hasn't enjoyed the president for the last 8 years, the 8 before that, and really the 4 before that. Looks like the next 4 are guaranteed to suck worse. And if the budget people are right, suck worse than all the previous presidents combined. And personally, things have gone from bad to worse, and most of it is out of my control. 2009 is not turning out better than 2008. I started my blog to bitch about stupidity in the dog world, but now that my dogs are, more than ever, the major positive in my life, it's hard to focus on the negatives. And really, I've never enjoyed reading the "look at all the fun we're having" dog blogs... and I don't think it'd be fun writing one that way. I admire your blog because you took up the cause of fighting for clarity and smartness in flyball sport and were willing to point out the stupidity. You're no less effective when you point out the stupidity of our politicians.
