Received the following from an e-mail correspondent:

This made me very sad, especially since I have 4 dogs.

My dogs sleep about 20 hours a day. They have their food prepared for them. They can eat whenever they want, 24/7/365. Their meals are provided at no cost to them. They visit the Dr. once a year for their checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. For this they pay nothing, and nothing is required of them.

They live on a nice acreage in a kennel that is much larger than they need, but they are not required to do any upkeep. If they make a mess, someone else cleans it up. They have their choice of doghouses to sleep in. They receive these accommodations absolutely free.

They are living like a kings, and have absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of their costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head:

Holy crap, my dogs are Democrats!

’nuff said.
