Family Dog Saves Toddler Playing On Rooftop
http://cbs3.com/topstories/local_story_197191147.html

(CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA A Southwest Philadelphia family's dog is being called a hero after sounding the alert when he saw their toddler playing on the roof.


Family members say the boy’s parents placed a playpen in front of the broken window to keep Philip safe. Littlie Philip was able to move the playpen and climb out of the window.


Alfie followed little Philip out of the window and began barking. It was his barking that drew the attention of neighbors and Philip’s sleeping parents.

Witnesses say it appeared Alfie was running along the outside edge of the roof in an attempt to protect the toddler from falling.

1. "Roof! Roof! Roof!" said Alfie.
That's a cool story despite my irrepressible wit.

6. HAHAHAHAHA
As Hooters Sarah was getting a beer for my Samoan Campaign Manager she shrieked loudly and pointed over at the trees. The gesture was followed immediately with her and her friend both projectile vomiting in to the cooler. I am not aware of any studies predicting what will make nubile young girls vomit. If any of you undertake such a study put two Winos engaging in oral sex at the top of the list. As if the two hotties tossing up chow were not enough, the man who had earlier been accosted by Buffalo Bob, pulled a length of chain from his jeans walked over and began whipping the two depredates violently. All control of my political function was lost.

:rofl:

11. Misrepresentation- "I must clarify something"
http://www.jameshillforcongress.com/blog_view.php?entry_id=19

I must clarify something. I say I am a drunken pirate. The proper term is alcoholic pirate. One of the great tragedies in our political scene today is candidates feel compelled to bury their flaws at all costs. I started drinking heavy at a young age. I am not proud of it but to deny it would be to deny myself and lie to you. One of my goals in the campaign is to shake up the perception we have of politico’s. If my ongoing battle with the bottle troubles you then do not vote for me. I could avoid the subject all together, hop it just never comes up. As a candidate it is hard to feel that would be fair to the voters either. When you vote for a person you get the whole package. Instead of burying my flaws I choose to take an open and honest approach. Not one of us is perfect and I am perhaps less perfect than you. None of my personal/behavioral issues will prohibit me from serving you in the house. Recent events are showing us that our mainstream party candidates have used an opposite campaign method. They tell a constituency what it wants to hear to get elected. Then they just slog along as slaves to whatever their party bosses tell them to. I invite you to quiz me on any aspect of my personal life you choose. Public office is exactly that. Public. Respectfully, Pirate Jim

13. Is it normal to have wild animals in your appartment in Wisconsin?
<snip>

She said she first heard a commotion around 3 a.m. Monday and thought it was a raccoon. Later that morning she heard a screeching so she pulled out binoculars and spotted the monkey.
