These days, political turmoil isn’t a one-way street.
President Obama’s mediocre approval ratings and the Democrats’ internal battling over the details of the health care reform plan are the obvious headline-grabbers, but the opposition party has troubles of its own.

One is still smarting from being forced to abandon next year's election.

My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.

A blind dog that was dumped when he was just five-months-old has been voted the UK’s RSPCA Dog of the Year.
Bullmastiff Oliver fought off stiff competition from five other short-listed rescue dogs, taking 23% of people’s votes.
Oliver was thrown out onto the street by a dog breeder when he was a puppy because he had an eye infection.
