Rosie needed a little encouragement from mommy, but she digs the vanilla as much as her sister (see previous post).

This how we're trianing — read bribing — the dogs to like car rides, with vanilla ice cream from Confectionately Yours. The dogs, who haven't shown a liking for the car, are starting to come around.
This is Sophie, chowing down.
This was my mother-in-law's idea, so kudos to Natalie.

President Barack Obama has opted to protect presidential privilege, rather than allow the spotlight to be shined on the crimes and cynicism of the Bush years. He has released the so-called torture memos, but he also has said that futher investigation into the administration is dangerous.
The memos were released after a tense internal debate at the White House. Saying that it is a “time for reflection, not retribution,” Mr. Obama reiterated his opposition to a extensive investigation of controversial counterterrorism programs.
“In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carrying out their duties relying in good faith upon the legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution,” theWhite House statement said.
This is a mistake. The decisions made by the Bush administration, their justifications for disregarding international law, must be made public and those responsible must be brought to justice. Not out of some sense of retribution — that would make us look like a banana republic.
Rather, we should investigate and prosecute because laws may have been broken and to allow the transgressions to stand only further erodes our constitutional system of checks and balances. To allow the Our system of laws depends upon it.
This is not about retribution — that would be foolishused to recast our violation
It’s been a strange week for me, subbing for John Saccenti as the editor of the South Brunswick Post and The Cranbury Press — the two papers I managed for the last 10 years. It was an interesting experience. Four months after handing the papers over and becoming online editor, I get to see what I’ve been missing.
And yes, there are things I miss — such as page design, especially of Page 1 — but there is a lot more that I don’t miss. So the extra work this week, which left me little time to blog, came at a good time.
I’m off tomorrow, though I’ll probably blog, and then back to the office on Monday, with a renewed sense that what I’m now doing is what I should be doing at this moment.
The Onion is reporting the terrible news that Mr. Met is having emotional difficulties. He is having trouble sleeping and has been acting uncharacteristically, the news organization said.
Explaining that Mr. Met’s usual fun-loving antics have taken a dark turn lately, Jose Reyes recalled how the mascot pushed an eight-year-old fan to the ground last week and flipped off Luis Castillo after he struck out on Opening Day. In addition, Reyes said he has seen Mr. Met take out his T-shirt gun, place it in his mouth, and repeatedly squeeze the trigger.
“When I asked if he was feeling okay, he didn’t say a word. He just shook his giant head,” Reyes said. “Poor guy. He used to be so upbeat. These days his smile just looks painted on.”
“I’d say he drinks too much coffee, but he flings most of it at people,” Reyes added. “Maybe his hat is too small or something.”
Poor guy. Maybe we should take up a collection and send him to a spa for a weekend.
