Speaking of the world's largest carpet, why not send our very own to Iran?
The world's largest indoor/outdoor carpet bombing that is.

Just went over to the Business Week website to check out the article on pet-related spending. Was curious to see how much of the total goes to veterinary care (24 percent seems about right). My oldest cat was diagnosed with diabetes last week-- treatment requires keeping to a schedule of insulin dosage but is hardly considered a heroic measure because cats can life a normal life span and enjoy it in spite of the diabetes. At any rate I also wanted to check out readers' responses to the article. After reading the following, I stopped feeling guilty about Princess's contribution to the nation's annual vet bill:
"I hope people keep spending [on pet luxuries]--I just launched a business to promote Democratic candidates on dog products, called Dogs 4 Democrats. What better way to get people to converse and connect over such an important issue than using their dogs to break the ice? My dog currently sports an 'I heart Obama' collar, and you have no idea how many great conversations I have because of it. Dogs are the best way to a person's heart."
What better way to call attention to the fact that the present Democratic candidates are all dogs?
(Meow!)
