I like dogs, and when I saw the picture of one that looked particularly fine to me I decided to include it in my blog.

That is why the dog's image appears herein.

Here is another one

Oh, what the heck...

_____

Ana Navarro was born in Nicaragua. In 1980, as a result of the Sandinista revolution, she and her family immigrated to the United States.

Navarro is a graduate of the University of Miami. In 1993, she obtained her Bachelor in Arts with Majors in Latin American Studies and Political Science. She obtained a Juris Doctorate in 1997.

What I would like to know is why she is selected to appear on so many TV news shows. And why should I feel a need to hear what she has to say... about anything. After all, listening to her weird accent irritates me to no end.

HISTORICAL EVENT

A year ago yesterday, in 2014 Joan Rivers died at age 81.

The outspoken comedienne passed after complications from surgery on her vocal cords

Joan Rivers died on September 4 at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, having never awoken from a medically induced coma. The New York City Medical Examiner's Office said she died from brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen, and the details of her surgery would be investigated by officials.

After nearly two months of investigations, federal officials said on November 10 that the clinic made a number of mistakes both before and during the surgery. Among those were the clinic's failure to respond to Rivers' deteriorating vital signs, including a severe drop in her blood pressure, possibly administering an incorrect anesthetic dosage, performing a surgical procedure without her consent, and other medical-clinic irregularities

On January 26, 2015, Melissa Rivers filed a malpractice lawsuit against the clinic and doctors performing surgery on her mother.
