Bo the Puptastic Premier Pooch

Canine In Chief
Forget about the economic crisis, millions of unemployed, the recent natural disasters around the world and the worst news of all – Jade Goody’s death… Obama has a new dog!!!
“The First Puppy” (paws pause for “aaaahh’s”) has been officially inaugurated into the White kennel House.
Barack Obama led his presidential campaign on the back of buying a puppy for his daughters if he won the elections, and if he can live up to that gargantuan promise, we here at Cultsha are confident he can live up to the rest. We are steadfast in our belief that he’s going to save the planet, not only blindfolded, but with one hand tied behind his back.
Obama’s going to reform the worlds financial systems, kick global warming’s ass, remove all nuclear weapons from the face of the planet, end world hunger and it’s still only Wednesday after a four day weekend. “He’s so dreamy” I hear you cry, Goddamned right he is and I sure as hell would!
Anyway, back to the important news: The First Puppy, named ‘Bo’, is a Portuguese water dog, and was a gift from Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. The Senator said the puppy was a perfect choice for the Obama family as the dogs have a “can-do and hopeful spirit” and were smart, resilient, determined, optimistic and tireless.
Sounds like a presidential hopeful for the next elections. Obama even said about Bo, “he’s got star quality”. The Commander in Chief should be careful not to put himself out of a job.
This adroit pet pooch has the media swooning, a presidential endorsement and has even brought a nation back from the brink.
Portugal’s fame has suffered a steady and lengthy slump since the mid 1700′s, but it’s back, baby, redesigned: sleeker and smoother for the 21 century and all by Bo, the First pup. Now that’s worth a “Bo’ Senetor Selecta!”

I saw this dog story in a broadsheet newspaper the other day; it’s just a dog for goodness’ sake. And, talking of papers, I read the London Paper and the infinitely superior London Lite (clearly a baronet among free sheets) for the first time on the way home tonight, and it’s obvious that this whole celebrity thing is getting out of hand. I’m a bit backward when it comes to keeping up with the latest trends – as reflected in the press, on television, the internet, or wherever – but now all these types of newspapers (the cheap or free ones read by poor people) seem to have a colour spread showing celebrities in all their finery, mucking around and showing off. Who’s interested in this rubbish? The London Lite (clearly a baronet among free sheets) also has a column listing people’s text messages – clearly all contrived and made up by poseurs, or the people who work for the paper, mucking about and showing off. Probably crowing to each other how off-the-wall and ‘cool’ their one-liners are. Who’s interested in this rubbish? So, even though the London Paper and the London Lite (clearly a baronet among free sheets, as I’ve said) are a good read on the Underground, really they’re rubbish and not fit to line Obama’s dog’s litter tray, being full of ‘no talent celebrity’ pictures, and vacuous one-liners by the staff mucking about and showing off.
