Since the video I posted about the wrong mascot for the GOP was such a hit, I figured I needed to post another animal piece.
This one represents thankfulness for healthcare.
It says it happened in “Columbia,” but I’m quite sure they mean in the “District of Columbia.” Positive.
(My thanks to Father Kane of The Last of the Millennials who posted this video with far less snark than I.)
One of the drawbacks of living in the DC area is elephants. As you probably know, the elephant is the symbol of the GOP.
Frankly, that makes me really blue. OK, bluer. I am a Democrat and I love Elephants.
Republicans are nothing like elephants. Elephants work together for the good of the herd. They are sweet unless you piss them off. They are gentle. They help each other. They understand climate change.
I could give you a million other reasons why the elephant should not be the symbol of today’s GOP, but let me just show you this video to prove my point:
You’ll notice not one adult elephant, NOT ONE telling that little baby elephant to pull itself up by its bootstraps.
I rest my case.

Frank, of AFrankAngle is celebrating his 1500th post with a party this weekend. Go on over and join him if you can. And if you don’t know Frank’s blog, check it out.
AND IF you’d like to make my puppy Duncan a pinup star, please vote/donate to the Arlington (VA) Animal Welfare League. Here’s my post with info: https://fiftyfourandahalf.com/2014/10/01/vote-early-for-duncan/ I was going to do a widget on my sidebar, but UMMMMMM, I can’t remember how. OK, so I am not technically minded. Or minded technically. Or able to do widgets. Sigh.

He forced me to do it.
“Mom,” he said, “I’m a shoe-in to win the calendar contest. When have you ever seen a cuter puppy?”
“Well, that’s true,” I responded. “But you rarely stand still for pictures.”
Duncan laid down and started chewing his butt.
“I know! Put the one of me in the basket! The cute one!”
And so I did. I entered Duncan in the Animal Welfare League of Arlington’s annual pin-up competition:
You can vote for me, or you can turn the page. I mean, click on another blog.
If you can, please click on the picture which will send you to my fundraising page. Each vote costs $1.00 — any critter with 100 votes gets into the calendar.
Click here to vote/donate.
Or on Duncan’s Picture.
Or on the line above the picture.
Wherever. I’m easy. So is Duncan.
All proceeds go to help needy animals. And to help make my puppy a star.
And to get you into the campaign spirit, here’s one of my all-time favorite songs.
Remember, ELECTIONS MATTER!

Maybe you’ve seen this before. Maybe you haven’t. But it is worth watching. It is worth seeing again.
We do everything we can to protect our kids from possible dangers. Except when it comes to guns. Really. How can we as a country, we as thinking rational people, we as parents continue to let the NRA decide.
Get rid of politicians who won’t stand up to the NRA. Get rid of politicians who think that it is just dandy that anybody can get a gun. Or collect enough of them to maintain an arsenal.
Protect your family. Vote these folks out of Dodge.
