Set Your TiVo!
Tomorrow (Friday) on Oprah, Lisa Ling is going to do an expose on the horrors of puppy mills. I am very pleased that the issue will finally get such a massive audience. Animal rights advocates have been trying to educate people for years, but Oprah is so hugely popular and influential that I think this one show may have more of an impact on the puppy mill industry than all those years of lobbying and protesting. (I guess that's kind of sad commentary about our society, but whatever, I'm just grateful that she uses her incredible power for good!) Part of me really wants to watch the show, but the other part of me knows that by the end of it, I will be a sobbing, blubbering mess...I can't even sit through an entire ASPCA commercial without bursting into tears. (You know the one, all those abused animals staring at the camera to the tune of Sarah McLachlan's "Angel." Damn you, VH1, for playing it at every commercial break!) Anyway, if you do watch Oprah tomorrow, let me know what you think!

That is wonderful!!! See I really don't think Oprah is evil as some would believe. I wish I could watch it tomorrow.
It sure beats the knocked up "man" story she just did.. I'm sorry, but if you still have all the female plumbing, you AIN'T no dude. You're a hairy chick with a boobectomy. /rant
And that commercial gets me every time too; it's awful...
Hey Emily,
How are you? I saw the Opera story about the puppy mills. I thought she did a pretty good job. Hopefully people will respond to this like they do to Oprah's book club.
I was so sorry to hear about Kevin's mother (Kevin emailed me on Facebook). Could you please send me your address so I can send a condolance card? My hotmail address is: MVikta@hotmail.com (I think you already have this but I thought I'd send it again, just in case).
Again, I hope you are well. I'm not moving to D.C. until June, so there's still time for another visit to NYC if you and Kevin are up for it. Also, we need to discuss our plans for the goat farm in more detail and that can't be done over the phone (Bush has them all taped, if you haven't heard).
Sorry - anonymous was me, Michelle. I don't have a google/blogger username or password, so I can't figure out how to post with my name. Damn this new fangled internet! Michelle Lacko? From NYC? Ringing any bells?
