    > The White House electrician and kennel manager, Traphes Bryant, trained Pushinka with peanuts to climb up a ladder to Caroline Kennedy's playhouse and slide down the other side.

    "White House electrician and kennel manager" is a hell of a job title.

    That's a corgi.

    > Pushinka subsequently became irascible, and "a little nippy" according to Caroline Kennedy, which she attributed to her upbringing in a scientific laboratory.

    No it's because she's a corgi.

      Well, technically she's a half corgi half mutt (from Strelka), but the point still stands.

      People are just piping Special:Random into their browser and submitting to hacker news to get free karma.

        Hey, if you wanna go on a site called Hacker News, suggesting technical articles and continue to read a one worded post linking to Wikipedia about politicians gifting each other pets, you sure are getting what you came here for.

          Hacker News is for intellectual curiosity, not only for technical articles.

          Well, there was the line about Pushinka being checked for an implanted listening device, so I suppose that counts as hacking news. :)
