Seen over the blogosphere, this news quote in the aftermath of Hurrican Ike: "One resident had waded through the waters to release two chained dogs that had been left behind."This begs the question: What sort of brainless morons leave their pets chained or locked, and unable to fend for themselves during a hurricane, for which there was ample warning?Answer: The meanest sort of human scum, utterly
