Let History Repeat Itself

Did you know that the Pit Bull used to be a great symbol of America just like effing apple pie and Diet Coke? It's true. Check out Sergeant Stubby and Pete the Pup and consider getting yourself an American Staffordshire Terrier (same thing, yo) as your next pet and reviving this wonderful breed as America's Dog. Unless, that is, you live in stupid Denver.

Note: This is so weird. I've known for a while that Pit Bulls were popular around the time of WWI, but just learned about Stubby about 10 minutes ago while I was reading "Pit Bulls for Dummies" on the toilet. That info led me to write this blog entry. Of course, I had to look up more info about Stubby on the Wikipedia and I found that TODAY there is a ceremony honoring him with a brick in the Walk of Honor at the United States World War I monument in Kansas City. Whoa.
