Dana Cope, president of the State Employees Association of N.C., got bumped.

Now we're not saying he was bumped by the dog who can read. But the dog was on the Today Show this morning and Cope was not. Just sayin'.

Cope was invited so he could decry the State Health Plan's initiative to charge smokers and obese people more for benefits. SEANC sent a message to members, encouraging them to tape the appearance (since they'd all be at work and not watching TV, of course).

So, like any self-respecting blogger, Dome got up early to watch and post.

Dome, who rarely catches the Today Show, did see a segment about Willow the dog who does tricks on cue card command, coverage of Harry Connick Jr.'s outrage over a blackface performance on an Australian variety show and a story about Michelle Obama's genealogy.

Cope's appearance has been rescheduled for Friday. Woof!

This group is responsible for electing many of the members of the GA who propagate corruption in North Carolina.....maybe it is best that we don't hear from them...besides dog tricks are much better than what politicians tricks do to us.
