A Vacation when Murphy's Law messes up the Weathermen

It's time to think about a little Get-away; a Vacation if only for a few days, just to get in the right mood.
February is 1/3 gone - the days are getting longer (almost 11 hrs of daylight); Spring is steadily approaching, Baseball begins (pitchers + catchers training) in less than 2 weeks, and the meteorologists are getting about 1 in 3 predictions right. They predict occasional snow flurries, I get 3 inches; they predict snow showers, total accumulation of an inch; I get six inches and a coating of ice; they predict clear and sunny and I get an inch of snow; and another coating of ice. So do we need more weather satellites launched, some more training for the current crop of meteorologists or what? WE NEED MORE DOGS!
My German Shepherd lets me know when and approximately how much snow we're going to get. Before it snows, she tells me to let her out. She prefers to stay out while it's snowing. If there's either an approaching change to sleet or ice, or the snow has already changed to ice she barks for me to let her back in. Now THAT'S A GOOD WEATHER FORECASTER!

These meteorologists are totally controlled by Murphy's Law. Anyway - right now it's snowing like crazy - 4 inches so far -the prediction was for slight flurries, but my shepherd did not want to come in so I knew it would snow for a while. Isn't this a great time to think about going down to Disneyworld? By using "The Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide" , Beth Haworth says:

"You can have a Disney World vacation every bit as enjoyable and rewarding as the family who spends 2, 3, or even 4 times as much money!

I could not say it better myself. The extra vacation planning will also help you avoid 'Murphy's Law.' And no meteorologists!.

The Perfect Politician

The campaign is in full swing. Super Tuesday has come and gone, those delegates committed (on the first ballot only) and the importance and advantage of NAME RECOGNITION over issue resolution once again benefits the early entrants in the race and the very big spenders.
AH HA - I have discovered how to use Murphy's Law (at least in this instance) against these would be political party nominees.
As you recall, Murphy's law states that anything that can go wrong WILL go wrong. Expounding upon this fact because of the delirious amount of enthusiastic support (I've never had so much garbage thrown at me in my life) we have received when my Shepherd (Nir Nir Nit - now where could I have gotten that pseudonym from?) declared her Candidacy I have decided to rename her: Roosevelt-Truman-Eisenhower-Kennedy-Carter (he's just a really good man)-Reagan-Gore (let's face it - he really won that election) ; (ed. note- would you let your dog be name 'Nixon;' Ford was not Elected and Clinton might already be taken) which renaming transcends, totally, any party partisanship, any deal-making, any PAC {political action committee} shenanigans, and -most significantly- creates instant widespread name recognition and represents very real reliability. Now what more would you want in Your Candidate?
So, those who complain that our Country is going 'to the Dogs' are silenced. Those who believe the government is 'Raining on their Parade' and they're not getting a fair shake will whistle a different tune watching Roosevelt-Truman-Eisenhower-Kennedy-Carter-Reagan-Gore (see - you're ready to vote for her already) shake off every shower and shadowy shred of shrapnel shot in her direction and vibrate away any and all vitriolic vagaries and varied vicissitudes proffered by her polarized protagonists.
My shepherd will 'Doggedly' ( pardon the pun) plow onward and forward in the direction indicated. She will ignore the jabs and jibes of the media critics. She will extend her hand (ok - paw) in friendship to any and all; but if set upon or attacked outright, will demonstrate for all to behold the size of the fight in the dog.
This election campaign will unquestionably be a 'dog eat dog' battle. Who better to get in the fight than my shepherd?
Our friends abroad are doubting our abilities and character. Who better to sit beside them in friendship and loyalty?
If we don't Learn from History we're Doomed to Repeat it. Who better to keep making the same mistakes?
And finally, with so many of today's leaders "Biting off more than they can Chew" who better than my shepherd?
Yes, folks, my German Shepherd, soon to be Roosevelt-Truman-Eisenhower-Kennedy-Carter-Reagan-Gore will indeed bethe Perfect Politician.
Murphy's Law says she will win the election., if only by a whisker.
