Mrs. azlib’s chihuahua can jump up on the couch. Does that count as parkour?

I noticed his kennel has a fence over the top. Keeping this guy in a kennel run would be impossible without a cover. Great training for an escape artist.

Monkey is a Belgian Malinois. The dog, Conan, that helped exterminate the monster Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi (beloved of the NYT, WaPo and other haters of America) was of the same breed. Conan chased the terrorist down his dark tunnel which inspired him to do what they all seem to do when anxious, blow himself up. Conan was injured but recovered. Al was not so lucky; he was painted all over the inside of his tunnel.

From Indiatoday.com: “…The breed is preferred for its compact size, making it ideal for fast-roping or jumping out of aircraft. Handlers often refer to Belgian Malinois dogs as “Maligators” or “hair missiles” due to their speed and strong jaw, a report in the Washington Post noted…”

I love these dogs, but they are working dogs and so probably not the best choice for couch potatoes.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian.
