As the World Turns.

Volunteers have rescued some dogs from a puppy mill.

Snip:

In Fairfax County, animal control officers returned late yesterday with 32 dogs of all ages, including some that were pregnant. They said the dogs needed to be examined and given a rabies vaccination, if appropriate, before they can be adopted. The dogs -- which were distributed among shelters in Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington County and the District -- won't be available for adoption until at least next week, officials said. Loudoun County officials also brought back some of the dogs.

OF COURSE that dumbshit teacher couldn't carry a gun on campus. Whatever gave her the idea she could get away with a stupid and dangerous stunt like that?

After all, if she's worried about getting beat up, she could just move, but she can't endanger herself and other people, including students, because of some fear she might be in danger.

It's a police matter, after all. I am very familiar with Medford, Oregon, and the Medford P.D. is within a mile of South Medford High School, almost right down the street. So are the Jackson County Sheriff's Department and the county jail.

What an idiot that teacher is.

Obituaries.

I thought I'd include a somewhat brief (for the NYT) obituary of singer Robert Goulet, who died yesterday.

In addition to third wife Vera and his three children, he had two grandkids.

For those curious about my previous posts about the late singer, here you will find them, including the post with the famous passage from Elvis: What Happened?

I thought it was worth repeating.

This writer didn't overlook the Elvis story:

He earned a footnote in the saga of Elvis Presley: Mr. Goulet was performing on television when Presley famously blasted his TV screen with a handgun.

A possible explanation for Elvis's negative opinion of Goulet is here.

Supposedly this is the gun in question.

Apparently Goulet himself was puzzled over the incident:

To some music fans he was best known for a performance in which he did not participate: Elvis Presley once put a bullet through a TV broadcast of a Goulet performance.

Goulet always professed bewilderment over the incident, saying he and Presley got on so well that Presley gave him a ring.

Go figure.

Obituaries.

Singer Robert Goulet, 73, lost his fight against lung problems while awaiting a lung transplant.

What a shame.

I saw him in person here in Reno in 2004 at the Eldorado. I remember what a great sense of humor he had.

As the World Turns.

Singer Robert Goulet will remain sedated until he receives a lung transplant.
