Jon Stewart had a take last night on the difference between a Soccer Mom and a "Pit bull". "One is unfairly maligned in spite of evidence that it is no worse than any other dog, and one is an artificial demographic that is no better or worse than any other mom." Gotta love that man (and his show).
You can catch the video here -- it occurs at about the 3:30 mark.

That's awesome! Hilarious...about the artificial demographic part, that is. Pit bull terriers being maligned, unfortunately is no laughing matter.
I think you need to send Mr Stewart the photo of Stella - the lipstick wearing pit bull. :-)
In fact, I think we should get a whole bunch of photos of pb dogs w/ 'pit bull pink' lipstick and send it in!
We can show him that bullies CAN be just like soccer/hockey moms! heehee.

Jon owns two of them and it's about time he broached the subject.
Saw it last night, loved it. Special show tonight, can't wait.

I don’t like that they are saying "No Pit Bull" because it adds to the negative connotations that people like Palin give to this common dog breed. Anyone catch Dog Town on National Geographic Channel. They saved several of the Vick dogs and rehabilitated them and have found nice responsible people to adopt them. Poor doggies. Palin uses tax payer money to pay for her husbands and kids flights. Plus she takes per diem pay to stay home. Then in her speech she claims she want to reduce the amount of thing tax payers pay for lol. Like sex education in public schools maybe? Funding for Humane Society? How sophomoric! As an x-republican that will now be voting for Obama. I have to say I find this McCain Palin campaign laughable at best!
