"The Republican governing philosophy of a criminal deregulatory environment drove the economy into a ditch. And when they put more than a trillion dollars worth of wars on the credit card, they left future administrations with few options."
 - NY Times, Obama's Lincoln Moment

While I don't think we should necessarily be comparing this moment in Obama's presidency to Lincoln's decision to replace General McClellan with General Grant, I do feel that this opinion piece has some salient points to make.  The above quote verbalizes the feelings I have about what has been going on with our country for nearly the last decade much better than I have been able to.

Fetch

This is a video of Sadie and I playing fetch in the living room with the squirrel tail the other night.  At the beginning of the video, you can see her trying to dig it out of the paper bag.  She was really freaked out by the bag for some reason, but REALLY wanted the squirrel tail.
