Brodie reports…dead donkeys and elephants vote?

Looking for "The Rainbow Bridge"
Looking for The Rainbow Bridge

How can this be…??  Let me explain the after life for dogs. (Our dear friends the cats, as well, all gods animals.) Once we have gone from our western world and culture…we jump over “The Rainbow Bridge.”  This is a super special place that waits ready for animals only.  All animals are welcomed…there is forever peace and happiness…no pain…no need for heart worm medicine…no medicine/vets period…no allergies…you can sleep wherever you want…no need for fences…you go wherever you want…lots of treats…tons of play toys and balls…incredible swimming…fetching & retrieving for all…training classes are available for those who choose to self-improve…no need for dog parks…it’s one big hang out spot…and all are friends and included. AND, thanks to Pope John Paul II…in 1990…he declared that “all dogs go to heaven” because they have a soul and god created us all.  So there you have it…we have dual citizenship…the bridge…and heaven.  Yeah…

Heavenly sky
Heavenly Sky

As far as donkeys and elephants voting after death…I’m not clear on this… research indicates that voter fraud exists... confusion…denial…antiquated systems…dishonesty…all wrap into millions of illegal votes cast.

The way I see it, all gods creatures can qualify for the right to vote…and because animals can jump over the rainbow AND live in heaven there is no stopping that action…Golden applause for dual citizenship.

Golden Brodie gives a Presidential Polls 101 for 2016

Brodie digs up the “Genie in the Polls” granting wishes

Published on by Lucas Pam1 Comment

Ok…I did my golden best to understand and research these presidential polls that many are obsessing over.   Admitting that I came away confused…yes I did and for solid reasons.  Confusing at best is the manner in which polling information comes together, then massaged, spun and refined and finally reported…shared.  I got into quartile, outliers (Yes, they are out there!), data, margin of error, subsets, median, data points, statistics, range, biased sampling, upper fence and lower fence (really…???…I thought I knew what a fence was…wrong!), margin of error, sampling collection, results…and on it goes.  Here’s the deal…there’s a genie in these numbers…working the numbers…every poll has its purpose…and can be handled in such as way as to produce the results wanted…key word…wanted results.  Some polls attempt to use protocols that present the results in a fair and unbiased way.  So…here’s your Golden Polling 101.  Not full proof…but consider doing your own digging…Start getting on top of these numbers…Go get it……

270toWin Make your own interactive map for presidential results…see different models…some like this…some don’t

These are just two sources for your polling entertainment…the more you dig… the better you’ll feel…about this presidential deal…information is golden power.

 

 

 

Brodie waits in the car...stuck in traffic

Brodie offers humane and effective training lessons to main stream media

Published on by Lucas Pam8 Comments

When you think there is no more political underbelly available…just when you think the stream of information?!?… provided to you by the media… as they fill their role in reporting and shaping public opinions has hit bedrock…the basement…surprise…it’s not over till the last vote is cast???  Well, I have a golden idea to stop this gutter bleed…some of the media simply needs some golden training and constructive feedback.

I have and continue to do my best to avoid distractions while I am on the lead.  In other words, when I am out in public, socializing and being a solid companion, distractions have been my nemesis..my falling like a rolling rock speeding down hill…distractions keep my off target…distractions rob me of my focus and my ability to contribute in a fine dog way…you know strut my stuff…get the pets and praise that simply make my world a happy place.  So…we should offer very basic training lessons to the media, print..tv…talk radio…major networks…lessons that address “How to Avoid Distractions” while reporting on the issues…I know these are good folks, smart folks, folks that strive to inform and with that said, getting some help for these folks would help to put us all in a better place in this race to the White House.

Please know that I continue to strive to avoid distractions…I am so easily tempted but even my slightest successes give me hope.  Paws up!  Be hopeful.

Brodie barks for your questions

Published on by Lucas Pam10 Comments

“Meet me in St. Louie, Louie meet me at the” second face-off between  Mr. T and The Lady on October 9, 2016: Presidential Debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.  This second debate has a different format.  Get this…

They’re trying something new…”Heads Up” average voters…”the Networks” have agreed to consider the 30 most popular questions…yes… Americans will be able to submit and then vote on questions online at PresidentialOpenQuestions.com,… ABC and CNN have agreed to consider (hocus-pocus perhaps abracadabra, who knows…) the 30 most popular queries when they jointly plan the debate.

Here’s your opportunity…my golden ears will listen for your question.  Ponder this:

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.” Thomas Jefferson

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” Albert Einstein

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”  Abraham Lincoln

Questions please…

Brodie masters the political numbers

Published on by Lucas Pam2 Comments

52 pick-up is a blast.  I love playing cards and just lately I have found myself saying  “deal me in.”  And lately, I have been working on my numbers…yeah…I have a canine history right out of the litter of not being on top of my math facts.  I have tried to better myself and have recently been working on place value comprehension.  See the past few days…my dog ears hear ad nauseam about… no taxes paid…dodging the process…dirty dealing…shifty books…?! And the numbers ranked way out of my golden brain…so I motivated myself to improve…saw an opportunity! So, I got the one’s place, got the 10’s place, got the 100’s place, got the thousands…but when reading numbers out loud that roll into the millions…I’m stumped…The number I practiced with is 915,729,293…whooper correct!!! So, the ingenuity in me said tackle this from another angle and so…I started focusing on rounding up and I slammed that down!!! Got it! 916,000,000 and to make it even easier…916 million (dollars).  See there is more than one way to get an egg from a chicken…forget that saying about a cat…it’s unkind.

Paws up…be sure to take yourself to Longwood University, Farmville, VA to experience the veep candidates debate.

Golden Brodie digs up inaction quotes to inspire folks to vote for their president 2016

Brodie gets into action

Published on by Lucas Pam10 Comments

My golden ears have been hearing this…I can’t take either The Lady or Mr. T…I can’t cast my vote…I won’t vote…forget it.  Well…donkeys and elephants come on now… this is an important time in your human life…so much is at stake.  Ok…so you don’t think either party deserves your support. You are disgusted by the process.  So in your interest, I dug up some quotes by some famous earthlings that could perhaps inspire you out of inaction…If this does not apply to you then “Good Golden On Ya!”

“I never worry about action, but only inaction.” Winston Churchill

“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.” John F. Kennedy

“Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.” Will Rogers

 

“Eat, love, vote.” Golden Brodie
