Half-breeds

The news from Thailand isn't encouraging, so let's try something light:

I love half-breeds.

News story: when asked about the new Presidential pooch, Obama said, "we wanted to get a mutt, you know, like me . . . "

He was hoping for laughter, but he got none.

He and Michelle couldn't get a mutt, because of their daughter's allergies. Instead, they settled on a full-breed Portuguese Water Dog, and it's ugly as hell.

Next news story: an American journalist is jailed in Tehran. One look tells me she is something special . . . half Persian and half Japanese??? How beautiful!

I hope this world becomes a better place for "half-breeds", who, like Obama, seem to be a step ahead of the rest of us.

Maybe it's genetics.

Great post Mr. Mick!

Interestingly, the star baseball player in Japan right now, Yu Darvish, also happens to be half-Iranian.

Halvsies rule!

Right! I saw him pitch the 9th inning in the Classic against those pure-breed Koreans!
