Stink dogs often need to recharge their stink and swimming in a muddy creek and rolling around in beaver shit is the best reload manner I know.

Speaking of covering yourself in shit... did anyone else notice oddities about the press coverage of Sen. John McCain's recent trip to a Baghdad market? Under an umbrella of attack helicopters, snipers and 100 heavily armed soldiers McCain ushered a Congressional delegation through the market place unscathed by IEDs, mortar attacks or insurgent gun fire. He said his free and easy stroll through the market indicates U.S. efforts to bolster security have worked. But Iraqi store owners pointed out to the London Times that when the helicopters and soldiers aren't hanging about the market, that is to say normal conditions, the outdoor shopping area is often attacked with car bombs. It seems McCain has gotten a pass on this assertion of security. A couple of newspapers have picke up on the irony in it, but for the most part they let it slide.

Well, I've got a girl dog to beat, no more time to waste here.
