Reader-Indulgent Canine Post #1
In light of The Monkey Cage’s standing as a no-nonsense, ultra-serious forum for enlightenment, I would never want to turn it into a doggie show-and-tell site. Except sometimes.
In shameless pandering to the request of reader Jeff Yates that I post pictures of his two favorite breeds, here’s a snapshot not just of any old pug or basenji, but of Jeff’s pug and basenji. These two breeds aren’t, I confess, included on my personal Sweet 16 list of canine finalists, but it’s a great picture.
As an extra added attraction (“FREE!”) for those who don’t know about basenjis (the so-called “barkless dogs”), give a listen to the renowned basenji yodel. Those who already are familiar with this sound will know enough not to listen.
Cat people: Please be patient. I am one of you. Your day will come.

A great diversion from final exams. We have two greyhounds, too many cats, and a new kid (hurray).
You know, I don’t get it when I hear people say that social scientists don’t have a life. How about a cycling action shot? I notice four straight podium finishes. http://www.usacycling.org/results/index.php?compid=222254
Impressive. Perhaps it is time to quit this political science gig and go pro?
