Going to the dogs

"Pets share our homes and are considered part of our family. As with any family member, when planning our estate, we want to make sure our beloved companion's future is secure."

I read this story in this morning's Star Bulletin about a bill going through the rounds this session. It will make it possible to leave your estate to your pet.

What a waste of time! Why do we care about this stuff? Our schools are the worse in the country and someone is worrying about pets! Don't get me wrong...I love animals and have many pets that I love dearly...but they are not taxpayers!

We have bizarre movements to outlaw eating dogs and cats. And while there are no dogs, the recent proposal to fight fat teachers recently joined the long list of stupid ideas as well.

Rod Tam's "Naps and Snacks" bill from several years back finally has some serious competition for the all-star dunce crown this year.
