Hour of the Wolfhound

I just finished reading Wolcott's Attack Poodles. It's good fun all the way through, and the pleasure of reading a skilled wordsmith skewer your favorite targets is enough to make it a good buy.

But, the final chapter provides a nice call to arms of sorts. A slightly overly optimistic one, perhaps. Wolcott begins it by writing, "The attack poodles no longer swish their tails as high and jauntily as they once did." I'm not sure I agree with that assessment - to me, they're like Weebles; they wobble but they don't fall down. Still, good to keep them wobbling.

But, in any case, he recommends unleashing the hounds. And, about that I heartily agree. I don't think we can knock them down, but we can keep the wobbling...
