| A Secret Service dog tragically fell to its death Saturday night in New Orleans while doing a security sweep of six-story building next a hotel where Vice President Joe Biden was hosting an event. The Belgian Malinois fell from the roof of a parking garage deck adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton where Biden was speaking at a fundraiser for U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu. The dog was working in the Premier Parking garage on Iberville Street near the French Quarter hotel blocks away from rowdy Bourbon Street when it fell off the roof around 6 pm Saturday night,

Certainly not a bright spot this am. Just a question? Where will this loyal and faithful servant be laid to rest? One hopes he will be offered better treatment than his brother who was refused proper burial (as reported earlier this week) If there are no dogs in Heaven, then it is not Heaven.

Too bad Biden wasn´t holding the other end of the leash when the dog went over the edge. Maybe Joe could have cushioned the dog´s fall.

I refuse to make the cheap jest, except to repeat all the above... As far as Biden goes, think of all the absurd ridicule Quayle, Ford, and Reagan endured, and then, when a true certifiable moron is in office, the MSM is dead, dead silent about his "gaffes" and idiotic fatuities. They are not "gaffes." They are Biden speaking what passes for his mind.

I was a foster parent for one of the military working dog puppies a few years ago. They are fearless when it comes to heights...well...at least mine was. I had to watch him constantly when he was small. He loved to climb and jump.
He´s off protecting us now, somewhere.
As another poster mentioned, he was most likely working off leash, searching. Accidents happen. Remember, they are dogs. Yes they´re smart, but they can and do make mistakes.

Although I agree with the thought expressed by #19, I think there are at least 4 extra 9s on the low (right) end of his number. The number must also refer to gun owners licensed to carry concealed; other gun owners don´t have to be licensed -- yet.
I fully agree with #20. However, if Biden resigned, it´s unclear who´d replace him. Hard as it is to imagine, that replacement might be worse.

Hours after the Lockerbie atrocity, Mrs Thatcher was wading through the carnage wrought by terrorists over a small Scottish town, paying her condolences to the bereaved. It had been a long and harrowing day, but when she arrived back in London late that night she still found time to phone me at home. Her voice was anxious, kind. She asked: ‘How is Ray, dear?’ The day before, my husband had suffered a serious accident and Mrs Thatcher had been characteristically solicitous, offering her car to run me home.

Tours of the White House itself remained canceled because the cuts have left Secret Service short on manpower to staff them.

Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer has signed a law providing strong new restrictions on the use of so-called "seclusion rooms" in schools – closet-sized rooms where children with behavioral disabilities such as autism were being locked up as punishment. "It is chilling to imagine an Arizona school child being shut away in a padded room, no larger than a closet, for hours on end," Brewer said after signing the law Friday. "There has to be a better way." With the new law, Arizona will join more than 30 other states that impose rules on the restraint of students in public schools.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Writing in the blog The Review, J.P. Freire performs a devastating examination of how the Associated Press eulogized former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday versus how the news service examined the legacy of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez upon his death. What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
