Jermaine, who acts as a guide dog for his blind brother, Jeffrey.
"Jermaine is not a trained guide dog, but he loyally looks after his blind brother, Jeffrey. Jermaine makes sure to maintain physical contact with Jeffrey in new places so he doesn’t get hurt. They also cuddle while they sleep. The two brothers are still up for adoption."
 
Update on the brothers:
Jeffrey and Jermaine Have a Home!    "Thank you to everyone who networked and contributed to this very happy ending! It was so fantastic hearing from across the world how much pets mean to their families.

How the West was lost by the selfie president

By Michael Goodwin in the NY Post
How the West was lost by the selfieĀ president
President Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Denmark
 Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt pose for a selfie as
 Michelle Obama looks on.
 
... "It’s official — the government of the United States of Obama consists of boobs and bores and is led by a narcissist. It is no consolation that Great Britain joins us in racing to the bottom.
"President Obama’s flirting with Denmark’s prime minister would be shameful on any occasion. That it happened at the memorial for Nelson Mandela only adds to the embarrassment.
"But the “selfie” episode also symbolizes the greater global calamity of Western decline. With British prime minister David Cameron playing the role of Obama’s giggling wingman, the “look at me” moment confirms we have unserious leaders in a dangerously serious time. " ...
And how would you answer this?
... "Hitler’s greatest mistake was being born too soon. If he were on the march now, would there be will in Washington and London to stop him? Would there be an arsenal of democracy to save mankind from darkness?"







Obama's Syrian Flip Flop from the Coward-in-Chief  

Saudi Prince Criticizes Obama Administration, Citing Indecision in Mideast
... “ 'We’ve seen several red lines put forward by the president, which went along and became pinkish as time grew, and eventually ended up completely white,” said Prince Turki al-Faisal, the former intelligence chief of Saudi Arabia. “When that kind of assurance comes from a leader of a country like the United States, we expect him to stand by it.” He added, “There is an issue of confidence.' ”

MSNBC; High School shooter identified as a 'very opinionated Socialist'

Examiner.com   "While liberals blamed the NRA for the tragic Arapahoe High School shooting, it turns out the alleged shooter was one of their own, according to the Denver Post. An article posted at news.com.au Saturday said that one classmate identified senior Karl Pierson as a "very opinionated Socialist.' "
....
"Update: The Denver Post has mysteriously scrubbed the reference to socialism from the shooter's profile. More here."
 It brings to mind the words of Jackie Kennedy after Lee Harvey Oswald killed her husband;

He didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. it had to be some silly little Communist.
