...cuteness aside, Bo is likely to leave at least some feathers ruffled. After Obama announced his intention to get a dog for his kids, discussion raged over the internet about what dog the first family should buy. At one point, the family said they would buy a Goldendoodle, a mix between a Golden Retriever and a Poodle, but animal rights activists have clamored for the family to procure one of the millions of dogs in animal shelters.

...have to fix the monumental inequalities that the apartheid government had created, it had to do so using the instruments of state power - government, law, the police - which it had spent years fighting. One way in which this identity crisis is expressed is in the modern ANC look - the mix of bling and camo worn by the Prada proletariat on display in East London.
