Remember the furor caused by the name for the President's black cat, named India after India ink - which is, of course, black ink!!??

There was a protest in the country of India, taking it as a slur, and the hindus went so far as to present a "George Bush puppy," shown in an article:

============================== Activists from a hardline Hindu nationalist group in India have named a puppy George Bush, after the American president, because they are offended that his pet cat is called India.
A spokesman for the Bajrang Dal group in Bombay, Shankar Gaikar, said it could not tolerate what it perceived as an insult, and had decided to get its own back.

How can we tolerate this insult to India? Bush had no right to do this

Bajrang Dal spokesman Shankar Gaikar The group is seeking an apology from the US consulate in Bombay.

But staff there said the president's cat was actually called India Ink rather than India because of its dark blue-black fur.

The party is now urging members across the state of Maharastra to call other dogs George Bush.

=======================================

Sometimes you just can't please everbuddy..:))

[luvie]

Sheesh! There are nutjobs everywhere, I guess! So, where is the insult in naming puppies George Bush? If I had a new puppy, I'd probably do the same thing! LOL!...and call him W!....dubya, in Texan!

[luvie]

Hi, snugs! I just love that picture of GW! You always have the greatest pictures I have never seen anywhere else!

[Billie]

[Billie]

[luvie]

I LOVE that picture--it is now added to my growing collection of W pics--epecially the cowboy ones!

Who knows, having a Bush puppy could get to be a sort of a status symbol in India! Funnier things have happened! LOL!

to make mountains out of tiny molehills."

===========================================

"Wish there were more 'civilised' folks like you, snugs"..:))

[snugs]

How crazy and obviously they have not checked their facts eitehr not just ignorant about why she is called India but that the cat is an old cat probably about 13 years old so she was named long before he was President of the US or even probably considering to be so.

[snugs]

That is an old picture of GWB taken back in November 2000 at the Governor's Mansion

[LadyX]

Yes, Dick -- I second that about snugs!!"

"The Queen and I think you are just great, Miss snugs!"

[luvie]

Well, it's a cute one--him looking all computer-wise and studious! Thanks for posting it here!

How are things in your little corner of GB?

[snugs]

Yes I like that one because it is a great one to use against his critics. It emphasizes he is an up-to-date politician/business man who is not afraid of using modern tools to "get the job done".

[snugs]

I like it and that one at #71 - thank you for those humourous word Lady X.

A determined man who aim in life is getting the job done and does not suffer fools gladly - my type of person

[LadyX]

Need to get *SOMETHING* done before the sun goes down, other than Freeping!!
