Why, for example, do my dog Mathilde’s feet always smell like Fritos? My other dog Sarah’s feet never smell like anything. They live in the same house and go on the same walks. Their feet should smell the same.
And would anyone buy the Mamma Mia! movie soundtrack?
Fun movie, yes. But why would you listen to Pierce Brosnan singing ABBA songs if you’re not also looking at him. Why not just listen to ABBA?
On a slightly different topic, why oh why oh why did Barack Obama select Hillary Clinton to be Secretary of State? And why did only two U.S. Senators vote against her confirmation?
I’m not a knee-jerk Hillary-hater. I sincerely believe that most of the public anger directed at her over the years is misogyny masquerading as informed opinion.
I nevertheless have two big problems with Obama picking Clinton to run the American diplomacy shop.
First, despite her obvious intellect, Hillary Clinton is a proven failure as a political leader.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you train Mathilda to "stomp" Fritos in order to make Frito wine?
I have noticed a Frito odor around several dogs that I have owned. Cats never smell like that. I wonder why? As for Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, I can understand all of the political reasons why it was a smart choice, but I see no way to avoid the negatives in the deal -- countries trying to bribe the office through Bill. Maybe Obama has a way of controlling Hillary's actions that we don't know about? I sure hope so! Cogent and interesting column, as usual...

I would guess that it has to do with the particular strain of bacteria particular to your dog's feet. Not to imply that you don't wash your dogs or anything- these are the kind of bugs you hear about that are harmless and coexist with an animal for life. (If I'm right.)
