“So, Wesley Clark is running for president. Pretty amazing guy. Four star general, first in his class at West Point, supreme commander of NATO, saw combat in Vietnam, won the bronze star, silver star, the purple heart for being wounded in battle. See, I'm no political expert, but that sounds pretty good next to choking on a pretzel, falling off a scooter and dropping the dog.” FirstsHeartRunningPoliticalGuyFallNextStarsSoundPresidentClassSawsFourDogBattleWestSupremeExpertsSilverCombatVietnamWoundedPurpleDroppingCommandersChokeNatoBronzeFalling OffPretzelsWest PointScootersPurple Heart Author:Jay Leno

“Sense of smell, of course, is only one of those dog qualities that can't be replicated or improved upon.

“This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog. Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.” HomeBodyFacesOrderGivenNationsGriefDogFieldsTearsMastersSceneBattleFindingsDecidedLaysSoldierI RealizedDesertedLickingDog LossBonaparte Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“She boasted the general battle-ax demeanor of an especially strict governess. This was the kind of woman who took her tea black, smoked cigars after midnight, played a mean game of cribbage, and kept a bevy of repulsive little dogs.
