Final UPDATE: Completely non-political: lost doggie owner found

UPDATED: stupid me, forgot the location: Limestone Hills off Route Seven north behind Goldy Beacom College in Delaware.

OK so maybe this isn't the lost and found, but a wonderful young dog, barely more than a puppy, deposited herself on our doorstep yesterday.

She's an immaculately groomed shepard-Dobermann mix, brown and black with different colored eyes. She's maybe a year old, and exceptionally well-trained (responds to "speak," "sit," "heel," etc.)

Our kids have put out signs around the neighborhood and we've notified the vets, SPCA, Humane Society...

For a variety of reasons, we can't keep this amazing animal for more than a few days.

If anybody who reads this happens to know anybody who has lost this dog, please, please send them here.

Back to incessant political posturing now.

Can you post a cute wittle picture? I can see it now:

Delaware Libertarian: Defenders of Freedom and Lost Puppies.

Brilliant, Steve. Nobody can argue against puppies.

I hope that you find its owner.

I will post a photo but not until my 13 year old daughter gets home and shows me how to upload it from her Facebook page.

Well?

Tell us the story! Is the owner a Libertarian for life now?

You mean you share your political ideology with the owners of lost pets? Passing strange.

Candy was bought about a year ago by a man who later died; his wife is working two jobs to try to save their house. Candy slipped her leash three days ago, and she has been frantically driving around the neighborhood in her few off hours looking for the pup. Finally, this afternoon she saw one of the signs that my daughter and her friends put up.

It must be a really strange political ideology, now that I think of it, that makes your party identification relevant to doing a good deed.

Sorry, Steve. I should have put one of those smiley thingys. It wasn't serious.

But never let it be said again that a Libertarian couldn't be elected dog catcher. :) <-Smiley Thingy

Nothing like a nice human (or canine) interest story with a happy ending to break up the political posturing.

Thanks for the smile!

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
