I got into trouble before for posting satirical stuff from The Borowitz Report. Not with Andy himself, mind you. But with offended Red-State relatives lacking the requisite humor gene. To all and sundry, let me just say in advance, “I am sorry.” But this one had me snorting coffee out my nose this morning. Plus, there’s a cute puppy pic, so what’s not to like? C’mon, guys. Lighten UP.
All this comes in the wake of last week’s actual news (not satire!) that the Good Gov. of South Dakota, Kristi Noem – often mentioned as a potential running mate for DJT – shot her own puppy. On purpose. I swear I am not making this up. I know, I know, there’s a backstory, and it happened 20 years ago – but still. Anyway, if this offends, so be it. I don’t have relatives currently living in S.D., so I guess I’ll just take my chances with all the rest of y’all. You know who you are.
PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA (The Borowitz Report)—In an incident under investigation by state police, a puppy of indeterminate breed obtained access to Gov. Kristi Noem’s official residence Sunday night and crapped on the entry-way carpet.
A police spokesman said that the act of canine vandalism is believed to be “political in nature.”
At a hastily called press conference, a visibly rattled Noem called the puppy’s actions “a result of Joe Biden’s failed policies at the border.”
“Bad puppies are swarming into our country, breaking into our homes, and committing unspeakable crimes,” she said.
But, in a worrisome development for Noem, a new poll shows South Dakota’s voters favoring the puppy over her by a two-to-one margin.

Trouble before, trouble after: Ah well.
Love to live dangerously, that’s what I always say.
Also this: “Who’s a good boy?”
Bonus genetics meme…
