Somehow, it’s become an annual pop-the-bacon-flavored-popcorn and settle-on-the-couch television event. The Westminster Kennel Club’s Dog Show is now must-see TV.

It’s the perfect combination. Americans love their pets and their television.

Thanks to the Westminster’s popularity the world has been given the gift that is the wonderful movie “Best in Show” and an introduction to canine breeds we never knew existed.There’s lots more in the world of weird dogs than that mop-look-alike Puli breed.

Everybody knows Hickory is the latest Westminster Dog Show Best of Show, but wouldn’t you like a closer look at all the breeds. The New York Times has a gallery of photos with a pic of every Best of Breed that won during the 2011 Westminster Dog Show.

When you check out the winning dogs, be sure to look for the Lowchen. I’m a bit confused by that one. First I didn’t know there was such a thing as a Lowchen and secondly, is that hairless back-end a grooming choice or is it, as Lady Gaga said best, “Born This Way.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
