The Roof Rack Report: Introducing...the Dongle!

Was just reading a headline on The Fiscal Times website:  "Obama on the Defense as Dems Convene in Charlotte."  Wait.  Isn't Obama the incumbent? But he's on thedefense? Politics.  Go figure.  Still, I like to keep up.  Just because my owner, Hank Herman, aka Beagle Man, is a political ignoramus doesn't mean I have to be.  In two days Beagle Man and I hit the road, and you can bet I'll be sniffing out what my fellow dogs and their owners really think about Mitt and Barack. 

There are a lot of issues I care about — way beyond just roof-racking.  Profiling, to name one.  I mean, just because I'm a beagle doesn't mean I go around howling all the time.  Jeez, I hardly ever howl.  B.M. and I don't agree on a lot of things — he still thinks we have to get somewhere when we walk — but at least we're on the same page party-wise:  Dems all the way. 

And to that end, I'd like to propose a new party symbol:  It's a donkey-beagle mix; I call it a "dongle."  Hey, everyone's all about designer dogs these days, anyway.  No one wants a purebred like me.  Profiling — see what I mean?

I plan to write The Roof Rack Report for my blog (#roofrackreport on Twitter, for those who follow me already on @BeagleManHank) as often as I can while we're on the road.  But if there's only time for The Roof Rack Report or food, I can tell you right now what it's gonna be.
