YELLOWDOG VS BLUEDOG
Ok..truth..when I first started blogging as Yellowdog Granny, how many of you knew what a Yellowdog was?..Wonder if this cartoon means the cat is a Republican?
As near as I can figure out from your blog, does "yellowdog" in the USA mean someone who is a Democrat? We don't use the term here in Canada. Although we do have a political saying that refers to a yellow dog: "This riding (constituency) is so loyal to [insert name of political party here], they could run a yellow dog as their candidate and it would still be elected." So sometimes the phrase "yellow dog riding" is used among old-timers like me! The saying has probably gone out of style among anyone under 50.
I like what Will Rogers said, "I don't belong to any organized party. I'm a Democrat!!" Lately I saw a cartoon where the Blue Dogs were labeled Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
