We'll take a brontosaurus burger to go

Carolyn Hax's column hits a little close to home today as she answers a letter from a woman who wonders whether most men in Washington state are cavemen who don't know anything about women.

Jeesh. You forget a few birthdays or turn the sound up whenever someone interrupts the game and suddenly you're a caveman.

Even if she's right about men, who has time to think about such things? It's almost football season. Yabba dabba doo!

Speaking of prehistoric behavior, the November election is in clearer focus. And now that Gov. Chris Gregoire and Dino Rossi are in the top two, they can really ramp up the mudslinging.

After the primaries, the only way to push it any further is for Gregoire and Rossi to get in a wrestling ring and decide this thing with actual mud.

Dogs can go green, too. You can build a doghouse with an eco-friendly roof that maximizes comfort for Fido.

Among the supplies you need are organic roofing compounds, landscaping fabric and bamboo stalks. After the roof is done, add a big-screen TV and a fridge and it'll be all set for the next time you act like a caveman.
