NEWS ITEM: President-elect Barack Obama has promised his daughters a puppy when the family moves into the White House.
Obama’s daughters now will get
In Washington a brand new pet.
The White House halls will echo — heark!
With sounds of both Barack and bark.
Tradition calls for presidents
To have cute pups as residents.
They help relieve the strain and stress
Of known executive distress.
Republicans and Democrats
Who often clash like dogs and cats
On this one point alike agree:
The presidential family
Deserves to have a canine pal,
A tender, loving animal.
On White House gate post an affiche:
“We’ve signed a brand-new four-year leash.”
Where better might a canine dwell?
(We query here in doggerel).
How nice that girls, while growing up,
Should share the White House with a pup!
(Not hamster, guinea pig, or guppy!
Just a lively, playful puppy!)
Neuter, masculine, or bitch?
We’ll soon be told just which-is-which.
Hirsute or bald or full of fur?
A mongrel, thoroughbred, or cur?
When journalists the news pursue
(We mean the press, the White House crew),
Attempting to attain a scoop,
They’ll surely find the latest poop!

acurate heat transfer anaylysis ? Who own the credit, I don't know, I just know a little bit other thing. and let G_D decide it. For the hole for ventilation, if it were more efficient or economic way, it is even more trickery, it involves the mechanism of transfering stuff from high density to low density. I learned it from different resources, from high school physics textbook to Kosher Dietary Laws. As far as I know, neither China nor US applied it or even claimed it before at this times, at least not in large scale for me to see or hear it. What I witnessed is very simply, the society don't buy the intellectual effort but money. I was pushed to the corn, if not by the help of the G_D, I may just die in no name.
With "Marley & Me" hitting the movies this week, I want to tell you about a new book released called "Milli & Me", a distorted collection of autobiographical observations of a Jewish New Yorker's life with HIS yellow lab. It's very funny and dumb but an easy read. If you like Larry David and love your dog more than some people you know, you will love this book. I should know - I wrote it.
