Fig Newt

Today might be the end of the beginning for dog interest in Newt. Very few if any dogs are likely named Newt. Newton, his actual name, perhaps is a modestly popular dog name in fig-land. Dogs trump people everyday for the simple reason that they never make campaign promises.  If predictions ring true Newt will make some today that won't be kept, just like his vow of faithfulness.  As he announces his campaign, he will emulate the human equivalent of licking his balls in public - it's called giving a partisan speech.
