Instead of being a story about McCain screwing the proverbial pooch, though, much of the article’s same-day fallout seems to have been directed at its publisher. In its infinite wisdom the Times ran the piece bookended with the nebulous claims that the candidate had had an affair with a lobbyist; both supposed parties denied these claims, though. What’s more, these allegations were the only new information in the story...
...DeGeneres's tele-meltdown, the story has become cable news fodder and the adoption agency owners say they've received death threats. But they're standing firm, despite the fact that they've broken the heart of the family's daughter, who looks like the kind of kid any pooch would love to greet every day at the school bus stop. It's not as if DeGeneres gave the dog to Michael Vick...
...just one person: the Erin Brockovich of decommed soldiers, a Rambo with a higher IQ - Bob Lee Swagger! With a surname redolent of American machismo, and Christian names that suggest both Good Ol' Boy and President Assassination Suspect, Swagger is your standard-issue outlaw hero.

Now park sunbathers can Web surf and this town of 300,000 is home...
...felt very sad when I heard what happened to all those other dogs," says Shanghai restaurateur Xue Feng, who gave his golden retriever a French name - Victor, as in Hugo - because he says the French are well-known for their superior treatment of dogs. Like any proper Shanghai pooch, Victor goes for a bath, blow-dry and pedi-pedi every 10 days. That kind of pampering?either for themselves or for any future canine companions - is well out of range for farmers in Yunnan or Shandong provinces, who make an average of $335 per year, $100 less than Xue paid...
