Michelle Malkin sure confused me today. Her post was about how Peter Hartlaub, a San Francisco Chronicle reporter, wrote a story about a horse at the local zoo named “Coulter.” He wittily juxtaposed the horse’s photograph with a picture of columnist Ann Coulter, and recounted all the ways Coulter the columnist resembled Coulter the horse. “LOL like the horse’s name is Coulter like Ann Coulter LOL She’s like a horse that’s funny because I’m a liberal,” he wrote, or words to that effect.
Anyway, I was confused, because when Michelle said “Peter Hartlaub” wrote this story, at first I thought she was talking about my pet toad, who is also named Peter Hartlaub. LOL.
UPDATE: I have apologized to Peter Hartlaub for this post, and he has very graciously accepted my apology.
UPDATE: I also fed him some mashed-up earthworms. Those are his favorite.
Sean, you should apologize to your toad.
You’re right. I apologized to him this morning, and updated my post.
What a noble creature the toad is. Pity that a petty San Francisco journalist should denigrate him with a similar name.
Similar? It’s an identical name! I question the timing. I know you’re the go-to guy for toad-blogging, Gordon. That’s why I haven’t mentioned Peter Hartlaub here before yesterday, because I didn’t want to step on any toes. Or toads. I probably won’t mention him again.

Cranky at SMB sent me. Did you try feeding mashed worms to the “other” toad?? I sure hope so.
I am not responsible for feeding that one.
I just hate it when Liberals attack and degrade horses like that.
