THE NOMINATION
The New Yorker always has wonderful covers. They are well-drawn, colorful, and intriguing--often asking viewers to figure out the punch line for themselves. The December 8, 2008, issue cover leaves no doubt about the story.
President-elect Barrack Obama, upon winning, promised his daughters they could have a dog when they make the big move. The canine member of the household has to be virtually shed/allergy proof as one daugher is allergic to bow-wows. Of course, every dog lover in the country has offered their recommendations.
The family won't move into the White House until late in January so they still have time to choose. But, if the magazine cover is any indication, the head of the household is already contemplating interviews.
What kind of questions do you ask the applicants? As Obama interrogates the Beagle, is he also checking the strength (or lack thereof) of doggy breath? I must say he should take notice of the decorum of the three patiently waiting competitors--they are true ladies and gentlemen, standing erect, facing forward, not barking, nipping, growling, or paying any attention to anyone but the interviewer.
I wonder. Will the winner have his/her pedigree scrutinized by Homeland Security?
Will the Top Dog be nominated, and then be required to face a hearing before Congress? NOTE: Does anyone know if Pelosi is a dog lover or not?
On the other hand: Do the lawmakers dare not confirm. Do they think they can get away with breaking the hearts of two precious girls?
The American people are watching.
