Friday Hound Blogging

Well here we are at last, that very special day everyone waits for all year long. Yes, we're talking about Friday Hound Blogging, but not just any Friday Hound Blogging, the last Friday Hound Blogging of the year. As frequent reader(s) of this blog are well aware, time is the highwayman who robs us of youth and plunders our dreams...er...we mean are well aware that the last FHB of the year is one in which we not only feature a skinny dog looking for a home, but follow him or her until said home and couch are secured.

It has not slipped our attention that today is special for another less pertinent reason. Today is armistice day in the War on Christmas but the peace is tenuous at best and we don't expect it to last a full year. Yet the spirit of the day infects us like the Mexican pig flu and so we will refrain from our usual cruel and sophomoric attempts at humor at the expense of the overlords.

Instead we will offer advice to one nameless young fellow, or perhaps young lady, we don't know as stupidity and callous disregard for living creatures show no gender preference, who recently queried the following:
i recently got introduced to greyhound racing and i want to know more about the dogs for a while without placing a bet i would love to watch some recent races online so i can familiarise with the dogs.
Dear sir, or madam, we suggest you "familiarise" with these fellows, then use your two dollars to start an education fund. It's never too late to pass the sixth grade! Signed: your friends at Ironicus Maximus.

"God Bless Us Everyone," Tiny Tim said. Then whacked old Scrooge in the groin with his crutch. "That's for taking the public option out of the Health Care Reform Bill you old goat." Dickens took that part out of later editions. Anyway, time to meet Lazlo.

Lazlo is so recently come from the benevolent care of the overlords that we know nothing about him except that he is a refugee from Dairlyland along with hundreds of his brothers and sisters. For more information about this dog, and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes, go here. If you don't know about the plight of racing greyhounds go here.

It 's preposterous that all the uneducated are always the ones to be attracted to Greyhound Racing.
Isn't it something that we have the exact sort of "mentality", even for those of BRITISH origin, to desire to know more about bets, the "pounding" of this dog, and also the networking involved to punish it?
It does not seem to matter if it be a man or woman pursuing this most violent crime of persecuting and destroying a beautiful dog for a "copper penny" or for International "Trade".
GLOBAL, and you can be sure that is International, will deceive and retrieve any way possible. And any how.

Raynam Park decides to end racing "earlier" than the banned date?
Is this "charity"?
Is this finally "kindness for the dogs"?
Or is this just admitting that they were never, ever into "Racing" to begin with?
You know, there are a lot of Greyhounds that have gone "missing".
(let's not even attempt to talk about the millions, worldwide, that ave completely "vanished".)
Does this mean they really and truly never had their "heart" into it at all?
And if this is so, where in God's name was "their heart"?

If you are all so ignorant and unfeeling and so dangerously "unattached" to emotions, or to bonding or even companionships, this is a "sport" for you.
The idiot who pretends to be slightly engaged with the Greyhound is merely, once again, substituting a "thing" for "love" because, once again, like true misfits, they can never identify with "feelings".
In fact, research has verified this and documented this with the basic instincts that are precisely needed to do crimes.
And this is why, evidently, with all the proof of illegalities in Greyhound Racing, criminals alone, push this "business".
Is this Pizzi?
Is this Riggins?
Is this Green?
Is this Tomblin?
Is this Berland?
Is this Whiteley?
Is this Childs?
The Lists go on and on and we are continually accumulating information and passing it to various authorities, overseas.

The UK, Ireland, Australia and who knows where else, where people refuse to attack the viciousness of International Terrorism because they "aren't quite sure" where they are going".
Well, we are quite sure" what they are doing", and we have solid proof.
It doesn't take ears of "Forgotten Dogs" to be sliced off or female bitches to be totally disfigured and mutilated so as not to be able to identify the "Producer".
Oh yeah.
We, who are tuned into the agenda, as in "copper", know exactly "where they are going".
And they are trying to do "It" everywhere.

Instability is the name of the "Game".
Why do you think the COWARDS go after countries that are going through Recessions?
Go after the countries ruled by the most Evil?
Go after the countries prone to religious Turmoil and Extremities?
Of course, these COWARDS are after MONEY.
The COWARDS proclaim some type of unity with a God that is full of VENGEANCE and make BILLIONS of dollars through illegal ARMS and DRUGS and MUNITIONS.
And WHY do they all seem to get away with it?
They have CONNECTIONS in GOVERNMENTS full of GREED and wanting more POWER!
But the agenda is totally becoming transparent as millions infiltrate and discover the absolutely polluted individuals , demonic with insatiable thirsts for their own personal warfare on the World.
And that is specifically due to these perverted individuals twisted enough to propel themselves into "Dream Land".
And they care not about the everlasting, devastating consequences.
They only care about themselves.

Saudi Arabia is well known for suppression of its People.
Saudi Arabia is also well known for the Royalty to have most of the cash.
When Terrorism seems to be knocking at everybody's door, it must be obvious that to distribute the wealth is a huge aid in assisting the People who make a society function, be it in construction, infrastructure, or basic civil duties, particularly in protecting this very "Kingdom" that has become bold and rich.
So why does Saudi Arabia not better educate its own People?
Why are their standards so dismal and opportunities extremely rare?
Saudi Arabia must join hands in becoming a government for its People as much as they are a government for their Elite.
Only then will the People believe Kings truly care about their starvation; about their inequality; about their health.
Because when your People have no future, a suicide bomber ,be it in a Dog or Man, becomes a Star.

You talk Queens and KIngs? What is their relevance in 2010?
That they cling to their tightened vaults or abuse of power or blindly rule without a care or thought?
There is no longer a "safety net" for a supercilious ass".
"Here Today. Gone Tomorrow". The whole World is watching now. And some of those people just don't care if they live to see the Dawn.
Queens and Kings must now rule like they were meant to, thousands of years ago. They must think in terms of"progress". To better their countries and strengthen their countrymen. To leave people out, and purposely, is incredibly stupid and can be, with nuclear arms, totally self-destructive.
"Forgotten Greyhounds" represent "Forgotten Dogs" everywhere. Queens and KIngs would all be wise to raise their gates.
