Standard and Poor Downgrades U. S. Credit

The stock market is down due to the recent downgrade of the credit of the United States by Standard and Poor. I'm sure that many of my readers, like myself, are asking themselves, what does this mean to the average dog? As of yet, the answer is not clear. We are mainly concerned with the prices of food, treats, and dog toys. I called my pal, Brian (Brainy) Beagle, a dog who won the Nobird award for economics to see what he had to say about the situation.

Brian Beagle: Having enough money: Good thing
Not having enough money: Bad thing
As long as the prices of food, dog treats, and dog toys don't rise, everything will stay the same.

As usual, Brian gets right to the point probably because he is a dog. Personally, I saw that Standard and Poor made a math miscalculation of a few trillion dollars so I think they should be calling in some CDAs (Cerified Doggy Accountants) to check their math. I have to let you know that Standard and Poor is run by humans so, with no dogs in their employ, I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw a stick and fetch it!

In other financial news, this dog is pulling for the striking Verizon workers. I saw that someone was criticizing them for going on strike in a recession. However,Verizon is making money, and the people who run these companies seem to have no problem with taking big bonuses during recessions. This dog is pulling for the regular people who will actually help the economy because they will spend the money on necessities like food when the executives are often hoarding the money and refusing to spend it. It seems to this dog that part of the problem with the economy is that the humans at the top don't want to pay the laborers for their part in making the money. They are bad humans, and they are going to be very surprised when it comes their time to leave the planet because you can't take it with you when you die.

RED and Marmaduke: Movie Reviews

Mommy went to see a movie yesterday, and I asked her to do a quick review of it for my readers. The movie was RED. She said it was a good movie about some retired spies who had to go back to work to solve a problem. Then she said it was blah blah blah......okay, that is not officially what she said, but how good can a movie be with no dogs in it? When I learned that there were no dogs, I immediately rated it as ND--a No Dog movie. Who would want to see it? I'm amazed she wasted her time and money going to see it? Then she actually said it was good....it takes so little to please the humans.

Mommy did buy the combo (blu-ray and dvd) of the movie Marmaduke so Angel Zoom Smokey and myself got to see it. I recommend it highly. Dogs were the stars of the movie. There was even a husky in the movie! It has everything you would want to see in a movie--a Great Dane, a Collie, a Siberian Husky, a Chinese Crested, a Beagle, etc. It has my vote for the Oscar for best picture of the year. I also hope to see the cast up for some Oscars--not the humans of course, but the dogs. Marmaduke easily gave the best actor performance of the year. I laughed, I was on the edge of my paws, I munched on a rawhide bone. It was a GREAT movie with a GREAT dane in it. What more could a human want to see in a movie. I give it my 4 paws up and a wagging tail award--it doesn't get any better than that.
