No, Wolf Blitzer has always been my top dog for the news, Ronnie, lead critic of the Ronnie republic news/talk radio blog replied when asked about the recent controversy over CNN's lead anchor.


He has always had that certain something.....that certain "it" factor, that certain Mick Jagger-esque debonair.....he is not afraid to tell the story like it is.

Wolf does not mind jumping into the news ring and putting up a fight to walk away with the facts.

Not that I would ever do that--I would never ever do that......Ronnie reiterated as his train of thought seemed to stray in the moment.

Actually, that is one thing Wolf and I have in common.......humility and strength.

I  don't know what it is.....maybe it's his name--but there has always been something there that made him a winner.

Not that I am about winning or losing or fighting but I just feel like Wolf Blitzer and I grew up on the same side of the street.

Well done, Wolf--I've got your back.

Someone give Corbin the Staffordshire Terrier his lifesaver badge. The brave dog more than earned it when he dived into an icy river to rescue his owner.
“If he wasn’t there to help me, I would have drowned,” says Corbin’s grateful owner, Philip Skirving, of Alexandria near Dumbarton in west Scotland.
The drama took place on what began as just another of their nightly walks along the banks of the River Leven. Skirving lost his footing and slipped – straight into freezing-cold, fast-flowing water.
‘I couldn’t breathe because it was so cold’
“I was about 5ft away from the bank but I just went into shock as soon as I hit the water,” Skirving told local newspaper the Lennox Herald. “I couldn’t breathe because it was so cold and I just couldn’t get myself back to the bank.”
Thankfully, Corbin realised immediately that something was wrong. He jumped in after his owner and clamped his jumper in his teeth, using it to help drag Skirving back towards the bank.
The pair made it out of the river safely and, soaking wet, headed home to get dry.
They’ll be avoiding any more adventures for a while, says Skirving, whose partner Zoe is expecting a baby in a few weeks. “I think I’ll just walk [Corbin] to the end of the street from now on.
Owners should always take extra care when walking their dog in the dark. Here are our top tips for staying safe.
