A thousand pardons, but it has to be said: in that photo Satchmo reminds me of the leading candidate from the Stone Dead Party: the one, the only Fred Thompson international man of mystery.

There, I said it. Ban me if you must, but the truth will out…

Admit it, Beckham went after that yard sign because he does not want us to “Know Hope”.

I don’t blame him. That phrase makes me want to puke too.

Thingwarbler comparing Satchmo’s (ahem) good looks to GrandpaDaddy Fred is downright insulting. Apologies are in order!

Uhoh, is that a touch of green on Beckham’s neck?

I wish I had the weed to make me eyes look akin to that one sad-faced feller.

Did Obama-Rama just hit the icy midsection of our bloated and increasingly flatulent society?

Are you saying that Satchmo and/or Beckham barrelled though that sign in a fit of agression towards Obama?

Or that you took those pics when HRC was giving her Iowa “I’m sure as hell not conceeding the majority women voted for Obama and not me”?

I bet if you replay the Obama speech again for them, you’ll get what I got from my Basset, and know to be a huge Bassett grin from years and hours of watching Basset expressions to given situations.

Fred Thompson could play Beckham in “Tbogg” the movie.

Can’t we just admire the boys and leave depressing politics out of it?

I spend hours every day staring at the fashion statement that is the marvel of Basset anatomy. I never get tired of it; it just gets better.

I love the spit on Beckham’s face. Boy, if that isn’t a mom talking…

I cut the dewclaws yesterday. One got hooked on the collar, It doesn’t hurt, but he doesn’t go willingly, and I have to kind of pin him down to immobilize him. Boy are they strong–those shoulders and those back legs.

I’m appalled at the comparison of Satchmo to a certain unnamed GOP candidate. Satchmo is so incredibly sweet-looking and cute! No GOP candidate fits that description! However, the reputed laziness of that candidate is one characteristic he has in common with all Bassets…(my 2 are curled up in the rocking chairs that were supposed to be for us).
