Yeah, I’m a day late, but the British Motor Corporation (s) owes me a hell of a lot of time (MG and Jaguar in particular). Anyway, Yesterday was Sir Alec Issigonis’s 107th birthday (he is of course very deceased)

 

Who is he Good Sir?, Why, he designed the MINI, among other things.

The whole dog meme amuses me because it’s inherently stupid on so many levels. I like stupid when it’s funny, so let’s sum it up.

The Left made a big deal about how Mitt Romney transported his dog in a carrier decades ago.
The Right countered with Ayers’ Obama’s claim that he ate a dog decades ago.
The Left responded with outrage that the Right had the audacity to mock them and put dogs in the middle of the Important Political Discussion  that the Left brought up in the first place.

So let’s clear the air. According to the AKC, this is NOT how to transport a dog:

THIS is the proper way to transport a dog, according to Obama and his disciples:

If I were a dog on the internet and was able to type an opinion, I’d tell the world, “Don’t eat me.” Then I’d tell them, “Don’t put me in a box in the dark belly of a plane because I’ll be scared for hours.” Then I’d say, “Let me car surf instead on The Overnight Open Thread.”
