I wanna hear about a pair of Golden Retrievers who did something like this:

GIG HARBOR, Wash. - Two pit bull terriers broke into a house through a pet door Tuesday and attacked a woman in her bed, mauling her badly, a Pierce County sheriff's spokesman said.

The woman was able to grab a gun and try to shoot the dogs, then break away from the attack and lock herself in her car, where she called 911, sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said.

The woman, who was not immediately identified, was taken to a hospital in Tacoma, where she was listed in serious condition.

Being disabled is even more reason to lock your doors. I guess being disabled allows one free reign to neglect even the simplest of measures to prevent prowlers? Like lessons taught to school pre-elementary school children?

Um, did you even bother to read any of the stories posted here regarding the disabled lady who was mauled by two, count 'em two sweet, loving, marauding pit bulls? She apparently had a caretaker dog of her own, from what I've read. She had a doggie door for her dog. The pit bulls came in thru the doggie door.

Here, read this and educate your ignorant self:

Are other dog owners now supposed to lock their doggie doors so that rabid pit bulls won't invade their homes in the middle of the night?

I love that you're blaming the victim for this vicious attack, by the way. I suppose you also blame children for being molested, and blame women for being raped, right?

I have a simple solution for the pit bull problem - when a pit bull engages in one of its vicious random freakout attacks on some innocent victim, just kill the owners. Not only would it reduce the "cool factor" that surrounds this ticking timebomb of a breed - hopefully bringing about its eventual extinction - it would also serve to chlorinate the human gene pool.

Not bloody likely. Wyoming is too far away and too far east to provide California with much power, at least over the current grid.

A big chunk of power transmission out in the West is from north to south, not east to west, and most of that comes from hydroelectric sources in the Pacific Northwest. California does get a lot of juice from the big dams on the Colorado River, and I believe the big Palo Verde nuke plant outside of Phoenix supplies the Inland Empire with juice (or at least, it used to). LA gets a lot of coal fired power from Southern Utah. Most of the electricity being generated east of California is being used east of California though, in the growing, air-conditioned cities of the desert southwest.

There is talk of building a transmission line for coal-based power from Wyoming to SoCal, but I think CA regulators recently banned new power purchases from dirty coal sources. Wyoming is also talking about bringing a slew of wind turbines online over the next decade though, and that would surely be welcomed by customers in California and elsewhere in the West.

The Republicans' credibility as moral authorities continues to circle the drain (so to speak). Larry Craig's starring role in Brokeback Toilet just reiterates the fact they're a bunch of freaks and hypocrites.

Did NBC Universal go out of its way to attract the morons they've got running the place, or did all the smart guys figure out that television is a dinosaur well on its way to the tarpits and bailed out, leaving the idiots in charge? iTunes is one of the few growth areas left in the content delivery business, with network ratings on the skids, DVD sales having reached a plateau and CD sales plummeting. As a content creator, you'd think they'd have sense enough to team up with and suck up to Apple, not aggravate them - especially given NBC's anemic ratings.

The really funny thing about all of this is that Apple's Steve Jobs sits on Disney's board and runs a company that has billions in cash lying around. Is it really wise to piss this guy off? Apple could easily launch itself into the content creation business, either by starting its own studio, by teaming with another major or by buying some existing indie. Given their track record - and their wads of cash - they'd probably have no trouble attracting the talent it would take to produce several quality series right off the bat, the kind of stuff that consumers would be more than willing to pay $2 a pop for. Within 5 years Apple could be the HBO of the Internet, making hundreds of millions of dollars in pure profit a year off of their own content on their own network, all without the massive amount of dead weight dinosaurs like NBC Universal are obviously dragging around with them.

Content providers have had about a decade now to figure out what consumers want and how to deliver that over the Internet. They still don't seem to get it, and it's looking more and more like they never will. Apparently they think they're too big to fail, and that nobody else can do what they do. I think they're sailing thru iceberg laden waters and headed straight for disaster.

My advice? Warm up the band.
