The latest version of WordPress, released Tuesday, is aptly named Dexter. The new version is actually named after saxophone legend Dexter Gordon, but I’d like to think I was also a source of inspiration.

I refrained from writing about Michael Vick earlier because the whole topic sickened me, and frankly, I didn’t want to give it anymore airtime. But after Tuesday’s developments, I can’t resist sharing a couple of thoughts about just rewards. After failing a drug test, Vick has been confined to his home and has to wear a tracking device. How perfect is that? Talk about living like a dog! No unsupervised trips outside the house and he has to sport a collar. I wonder if he sees the irony in this situation? I doubt it. This guy is definitely one pup short of a litter so I suspect these things are lost on him.

Speaking of losing it, I happened to catch Whoopi Goldberg on The View, rationalizing Vick’s behavior as part of Southern Culture. (I’m a dog, so I spend a lot of time lounging around the house during the day. Sometimes the TV is on and I tune in between naps.) I’ve always liked Whoopi in the past and she’s seems like a pretty sharp biscuit but now I’m not so sure. I’m hoping that new gal Sherri Shephard will put Whoopi in her place

Finally, I’d like to tip my collar to the Oregon teen who put a football autographed by Michael Vick to good use. He gave it to his dog for a chew toy. Perfect.
