* * * COUNTDOWN: 2 DAYS TO LA/XC-2 * * *
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 the defense? Politics. Go figure. Still, I like to keep up. Just because Beagle Man’s a political ignoramus doesn’t mean I have to be. In two days B.M. 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 this 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.
Check out the new Devo song: “Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro”

Yup — mentioned the Devo tune in my 8/25 post: “Ricky To Ride On Roof Rack?” Pretty funny!
Poor Roof Rack Report if it has to compete with food.
