Fairness Doctrine and gender equality

The Dog Denizens of Genesee Park (DDGP) doesn't limit the reaches of the Fairness Doctrine to requiring that broadcast licensees provide "equal time" for political screed. Having taken shots at inexpensive -- and at least one obsolete -- men's colognes and aftershaves, it seems only fair that the DDGP draws comparison to smelly dogs and women's inexpensive perfumes and fragrances.

This week's dry spell notwithstanding, our northwest winter has seen enough raindrops to make a karaoke singer belt out a Burt Bacharach/Hal David ditty. (Don't say that O'Doul the Collie didn't warn you.) The dogs frequenting Genesee Park emerge from an hour's of play muddy and malodorous. Yet, we aren't deterred from coming back next day, next week because we dog owners recognize worse smells:
  • Your dog's breath after he attacked the cat's litter box.
  • Alpo breach.
  • Prince Matchabelli's Wind Song. Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds. Charlie (kinda free, kinda wow) by Revlon.
