Two examples of why you should think before you speak….
Howard Dean is catching a lot of flack for what he said this time, not what he screamed. However, the Republicans should keep their guard up, too. I would remind everyone that our President isn’t going to win the Toastmasters award anytime soon.

Mother Explains Fatal Pit Bull Mauling
SAN FRANCISCO – The mother of a 12-year-old boy killed in his own home by one of the family’s two pit bulls said she had been so concerned about one of the dogs that she shut her son in the basement to protect him. Faibish said she felt compelled to call the Chronicle Saturday to defend herself against widespread public outrage directed at families with children who own pit bulls.
Maureen Faibish said she ordered Nicholas to stay in the basement while she did errands on June 3, the day he was attacked by one or both of the dogs. She said she was worried about the male dog, Rex, who was acting possessive because the female, Ella, was in heat.
"I put him down there, with a shovel on the door," Faibish told the San Francisco Chronicle. "And I told him: `Stay down there until I come back.’ Typical Nicky, he wouldn’t listen to me."
Nicholas apparently found a way to open the basement door.
"My kids got along great with (the dogs)," she told the newspaper. "We were never seeing any kind of violent tendencies."
Man, I had this ALL reversed. I put the DOGS in the basement when they’re acting strange, not the kids.
