Thereisnoplan Declares Little Taco-Dog Poops a Menace to Decent Society
Make My Day
It’s official. Thereisnoplan has declared Little Taco-Dog Poops a menace to decent society.
The basic problem is simple. Tiny little dark stringy dog poops that nestle in the sidewalk grass. But the real issue goes deeper – indeed right to the heart of civic responsibility. Were the owners of those obnoxious little Yorkies and Chihuahuas just lazy or incapable physically of stooping down to scoop up the poop? Or did they justify that laziness or incapacity by rationalizing that nobody would notice such a tiny stool? Or worse still, did they think that the small size of those poops made them any less of a health hazard? The answer almost certainly has to be one of the above.
In a very small and stringy way, this problem sums up America. “It’s no big deal” says the owner of the dog, proprietor of the plastics factory, or the administration that starts the dumb-ass war. They figure they’ll get away with it and avoid sieve-like regulation, often with the help of bare-faced lies or hare-brained politics, or both.
That works find until someone steps in the poop.
Or on top of the land mine.

The zeitgeist is a truly fascinating thing. A few years back we couldn’t get enough of the woman on the left. Her name is Paris Hilton, in case you’d forgotten and she was everywhere, including for a short while she’d rather forget in jail. She spawned an entire species of young women walking around with blonde hair, big sunglasses, bright fashionable clothes, and a small dog, usually cupped in a shapely, nicely tanned arm.
It’s a sign of how far the Paris icon has fallen that we’re going to be focusing on the dog, rather than the celebrity. It was the dog that deliberately epitomized the doting decadence of the boom years. A pampered little yapper that was essentially a rat with a bow on its head, Paris and her dog spawned an entire industry of mini-dog-bags, mini-dog beds, and mini-dog accessories, much of it with the moniker of the great Hilton herself.
