The title, also says explicitly, that it's 'wasteful' to spend emotional energy, feeling good about this Sully.

Naturally none of this is insulting to you. The entrance to liberalworld, requires one to leave their soul and conscience at the door.

Not ong ago, before the national Democratic party lost its mind, Donna Brazile was fired by Michael Dukakis for promoting the fake story that HW Bush had a mistress. In today's democratic party, she is rewarded for that kind of thing, with the office of chair, and vice-chair, of the DNC.

Hooray!

Anyone with a soul was moved by the photo of the dog laying by the casket. Only a completely broken person without a soul, would be offended by people rallying around something so pure, so innocent, and so touching.

I think you just made her case. It’s a picture of a dog by a casket. You have no clue what the dog is thinking. It’s your projection. Nice job Jim.

I don't know what the dog is thinking. I never said I did.

Here's what separates me from you, so pay attention.

It's comforting to me, to hope that the dog is thinking something about th person he was charged with serving, at that moment. It's not something I can prove, it's not tangible, but it's hopeful and uplifting to consider the possibility.

You just see a dog who felt like taking a load off.

I like what it triggers in me. I feel sorry for what it doesn't trigger in you.

Same thing that happens to each of us when we look at an ultrasound of an unborn baby. I see a miracle. You see nothing worth wasting emotional energy over, which was the title of that Slate hit piece.

Devoid of soul. Horrifying.

Are you talking about his eulogy? It was perfect. This family is do decent, they care so much about one another.

I watched Bush finish his eulogy, he sat down, and a few rows behind his left shoulder, was W's new son-in-law who married his daughter recently, and the kid (Bush's new son-in-law) was crying.

I love these people, always have. They are made of Clinton anti-matter.

Yes, HW is such a man of integrity he became best friends with the devil. Good one.

You’re putting a hell of a lot of pressure on that dog and reinforcing the author’s point once again.

i’m putting exactly zero pressure in the dog.

Why doesn’t the author attack PETA for constantly anointing all living things ( including plants, mold spores, etc) with divine status? how come its only “demented” to go overboard with the Bush’s dog?

You’re expecting the dog to embody the story you’ve thrust upon it to satisfy your own emotional needs. That’s kind of demented.

Don’t know the author so I can’t comment about her other lack of writings.
