Friday Dog Blogging – 29 October 2010

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.

Surprise! The cats get this week off as I showcase Rupert and Digby, who belong to my sister-in-law and her partner. Digby (on the left) is, I’m informed, a “Heinz-57 with a terrier personality.” Rupert, on the right, is a poodle mix.

Enjoy this while you can, dog lovers. Inkblot and Domino will be back next week, demanding that Republicans pass the Two Cans of Food Every Night Act of 2011 just as soon as they take office. They’re billing it as a deficit reduction measure because — well, why not? Isn’t everything a deficit reduction measure these days?

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
