Mutant Poodle – the moniker – honors my cat Bob, who, after the removal of a cyst from his tail, somewhat resembled, well, a Mutant Poodle.
Mutant Poodle – the blog – came into being because after years of reading various blogs and somewhat less time commenting on a few, in particular Firedoglake, I wanted to have a forum to express myself in longer form without (a) hogging comment space somewhere else and (b) going way off topic from whatever post headed the comment thread in question.
If you’re here, thanks for stopping by. Come back around, if the spirit moves you.
I live in Southern California, grew up in New York and Minneapolis, and have family scattered in three countries. I am a liberal, and woe be to anyone who says that with any sort of moronic disclaimer (i.e. “I’m a liberal but I’m not crazy” or “I’m a liberal but I still believe terrorism is bad”). I’m a liberal, OK? No apologies. However, I do think, when I hear the word uttered by some people, of Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
