DAMN! Exactly what went through my head, well it was more like “I didn’t know Bowser was gay or that he was running for Mayor in D.C.”. Then I read it again and said never mind.

Ain’t any bowser in this thread (or out of it) that has the sort of “crack record” that Vince Gray has. Marion Barry confirmed that already.

Beautiful dog.

Had a Jack and Schnauzer mix for 15 years. Lost him in 2012. Best dog I ever had, miss him dearly. He was a rescue.

The best part about these breeds is the intelligence and that they think they are big dogs. (grin) Great spirit.

He’s a full jack russell just mixed types. There are several recognized types now that are generalized as JRTs.

This just in:

" White people vote early, black people vote late," - Marion Barry. No joke, he just said that on TV...

What a thing to say.

So, do we mean that white voters tend to vote early in the morning, on their way to work????

While black voters, who as a group don’t have as many members in the labor force, and don’t have jobs to go to, vote later in the day????

Bowser was just on TV - she actually said “ask” not “axe” - she’s got my vote ...
