Hey this is Chris, filling in for Andrew on the wrap tonight. To understand why, read about the passing of his beloved Dusty here and here. Thanks to the hundreds upon hundreds of you who emailed condolences this week. There’s no way we can post them all, but you can read similar sentiments on our Facebook page. And thanks to the readers who provided moving quotes about dogs here, here, and here – please keep them coming.
Foreign policy fueled the big news of the day: Obama cancelled on Putin over the Snowden affair – something Andrew had called for – and the Egyptian interim president pulled the plug on reconciliation talks. We also provided a rundown on the latest analysis of the al-Qaeda alert and kept tabs on the initial moves of the new Iranian president. The healing of the ozone layer offered a silver lining for the day.
Our most popular post on Facebook was a fascinating view of our lawns and how we abuse them. If you still need a Weiner fix, have at it. And he’s not a mermaid, but a merman!
