I would never call my dog "Bush"
Aside from wishing that journalist wore steel toed shoes and had a better aim, I was a little annoyed that he called Bush a dog.
By David Swanson

Bush Comparison Seen As Unfair to Dogs

This is the question now raised in Iraq: If they throw shoes at your face are you a combat troop or a noncombat troop? The answer may be important in helping to guide President Elect Obama's strategy of reducing but continuing the genocidal occupation that has made a shoeless journalist one of the most beloved, if little known, people in the world overnight.

A related dilemma is this: If shoes become weapons, were the metal detectors, searches, and bribes to phony journalists successful? This strikes me as a similar question to the following: if box cutters become weapons, were the nuclear arsenal, the missile offense shield, and the empire of bases successful?

2. Me and my dog agree.
Even my little badass dog that eats his own puke and poop, licks his penis constantly, ate 1/2 of my couch, and barks at every creature in the neighborhood (real or imagined) is CLEARLY better behaved, cuter, smarter, better smelling, has better hygiene, and is better liked than Chimpy. AND he doesn't have coke-jaw.

5. Calling someone a "dog" is one of the worst insults in Arab culture.
I'm not even sure we have an equivalent insult.
