I just started watching The Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel a few weeks ago, and I'm hooked.
I really like the way the star, Cesar Millan, explains stuff. He shoots straight, with love. You can't be politically correct and get a dog to behave.
And he never misleads the owners, they have to change in order for the dog to change.
Dogs are very simple, they can't just be your friend. The dog's world is hierarchic. Someone is the boss. If you're not the boss, he or she is. Every pack has a leader.
Watching the show I wish I had a dog so I could try out his ideas.
I also wish news shows were like this, get to the real story, find a solution to the problem.
Maybe he'll run for Governor of California. I'd vote for him. ";->"

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
