As many people know, Brian from In Repair is the leader of Stella’s Fella’s. He designed this T-shirt over here on the left.
Well, Brian sent me an email this morning with a link that was so shocking, I spit my coffee out onto my keyboard.
He wrote something like, “Call me crazy but isn’t that Stella?” with this link. I clicked on it and then spit my coffee onto my keyboard.
If you haven’t already, go ahead and click on it. I’ll wait here.
Can you believe it? It is Stella, by God! On the Interweb! In the sweater I knit her last winter! With that sanctimonious look she always has on her face. And it figures it would be the leader of Stella’s Fella’s who would somehow sense she was out there whooping it up without having issued a press release to her fan club.
Of course I was aghast. I didn’t really know what to think of it so I just started screaming, everyone in the house came running, and then Buck busted out laughing. He thinks it’s hilarious.
Once I thought about it I didn’t mind at all. After all, I take photos off the 
Internet all the time. But of all people to sneak herself into politics it would be Stella. She’s such a betch!
Maybe I should be grateful to her, because it does afford me the opportunity to post once again this favorite photo of myself over here on the right, the photo I have vowed to run for the rest of my life and beyond.
The thing is, Stella showing up on a political website isn’t even that shocking, really. She has a power over people that is just downright weird. And what I think of her doesn’t seem to matter to anyone, least of all her. It never has.
So now I’m left to wonder where she will turn up next. Nothing would surprise me. And wow, Brian, what a find. Points to you! I’m sure this will secure you as permanent leader of Stella’s Fella’s. I need to make you a widget.
Oh my god this is how we spend New Year’s Eve! GOD HELP US.
That shot of the betch next to the vase of roses … definitely she is looking PRESIDENTIAL! Confident, sagacious, and not afraid of thorns. She’s got my vote. NH primaries next week. What party? I’ll vote as many times as she wants me to. Hillary, make fucking room for STELLA.
@ David – Oh my god, she got to you already! And I bet you’re right, Hilary is probably shaking in her sensible shoes right now, ever since her team told her about Stella this morning. I’m sure they called an emergency meeting, her media expert wondering what Brian will do next, etc. Cheese ‘n crackers, Stella is insidious.
And yep, this is what we do for New Year’s Eve.
Yeah, well you gotta admit, the pool of candidates is awfully weak this election season. I sure don’t want to throw MY vote away! Oliver has no interest in politics. He only cares about squirrels and stuff. So I guess it’s Stella.
Think she can fix Health Care? What about Social Security? I’m gonna be retiring about 15 years. I don’t wanna get boned by Uncle Sam.
I know, how about Stella AND Oliver on the ticket? That has my vote. And my Lily can be their press secretary. LOL.
LWB: I love Stella. She looks like a cross between my Lily and my daughter’s Trixie. You can see all three of them here: http://talkingpaws.com/?p=12
Oh, and if you put some Stella “Hot Betch” tshirts in your Cafe Press site, I might buy one.
At least a doggy shirt.
“Cheese ‘n crackers, Stella is insidious. Vote Stella 2008″ This makes a good campaign slogan, methinks…
I about died when I saw it, too. I’m cruising a political blog about John Edwards when I see this familiar looking betch looking at me from the sidebar. I’m thinking, “No way!” but Stella was like, “Yes way!”
From what I’ve learned Stella is strong on all the important issues:
Universal Healthcare without raising taxes
High-paying CEO jobs for everyone with multi-million dollar year-end bonuses
Free mail
Invading Mexico, then rebuilding it even better so that illegal immigrants will want to go back
Ending trade with China (they eat dogs, for crying out loud!)
Replacing the Statue of Liberty with an 30-story bronze Statue of Stella
The only thing I don’t agree with is the following (but can you really find a candidate that believes exactly like you?)
Implanting all citizens with Home Again microchips (she’ll tell us it’s for our protection, but we really know it’s all about mind control.)
Cheese ‘n Crackers, Stella is Insidious. Vote STELLA 2008.
Hey…they nabbed that picture from my blog!

OMG @ MBMQ! This thing gets wilder by the minute.
If Stella is Republican, I will vote for her! Hey, I have three Chihuahuas, that would love to be in her cabinet.
Sissy could be Secretary of State.
Jonesy could be Stella’s advisor.
Tinky could be Attorney General.
If you want to see all of their pictures, stop by my blog and see, “PUPPY PAGEANT”. These were taken of them when they were puppies. Now they are all grown up and ready to go to work.
If Stella is Republican, then I’m a straight man who wears overalls to church.
Wow you guys, okay, this really does get wilder by the minute, as Brian said. MBMQ is right, they did nab that off her blog! I thought the flag looked vaguely familiar … it’s from MB’s suggestion of putting Stephen Colbert and Stella together on the ticket!
@ David - Too bad Oliver isn’t interested in politics, but Stella would probably prefer her running mate to like that anyway, a puppet who only serves the purpose of eye-candy.
@ MBMQ – You should be in a political think tank, because you’re obviously two steps ahead of the pundits.
@ Curious C – I love your slogan. Though I know Stella would probably prefer “Holy Smoked Turkey Breast, Forget All The Rest: Stella’s Great In 2008.” She’s got a thing for smoked turkey breast.
@ Brian – OMG you are so on target. Stella IS NOT a republican, though I rather enjoyed the mental picture of you wearing overalls to church. (Buck just told me she isn’t a Democrat or Independent; she has her own agenda she makes up as she goes along.) The policies you’ve presented do sound really exciting, but that whole microchipping humans thing is a worry. Thank heavens you found her on that blog, or I would have had no post for yesterday.
@4urpets – What an adorable cabinet that would be! I love your dogs, and your photos are great. Your site is really fun and I was particularly drawn to Sissy’s resolution #2, as this is something that always bothers me, too. The whole time a dog is kissing me, I’m trying to reassure myself that dogs have that natural antibiotic that kills germs, including their butt germs. I hope.
@ Brian – I’m still smirking about the overalls …
OMG did they really steal your graphic moonbeam? THAT’S ILLEGAL!!
It’s not that Oliver isn’t interested in politics, it’s just that he isn’t, well, quite all there. You know, kinda mental. May have inhaled something or sniffed the wrong butt at the wrong time. His past could bring some damage to the campaign I’m afraid. Pissed in the house one too many times. I’m sure he’d love to be a puppet cabinet member though. But not Homeland Security.
And oh yeah, he’s a member of that Democrat party.
I love that picture of you…it’s a mixture of cuteness and all kinds of “bad ass”
@ David – Yeah, they really did steal the photo. I can’t speak for MB, but I use photos off the Internet all the time. Not personal photos of people and their pets off of Flickr, but they’re someone’s photos just the same. So I don’t mind that they stole Stella’s picture, and they’re not using it for anything bad. If she was advertising a porn site I’d feel differently, I’m sure. And the flag photoshopped behind her was MB’s photo, so they basically stole it from her site. Which is why I say I can’t speak for her. She may be wondering what the hell they’ll steal next.
“…sniffed the wrong butt at the wrong time” LOL
@ romi – I like to think of it as Clint Eastwood-esque.
I love the pic too, how you’re both kind of ignoring each other and you’ve got the ‘Thelma & Louise’ vibe going on.
Dogs and their double lives….sneaky things.
Yeah, I never get upset when someone steals my pictures, because I’m a shameless photo thief. I always look to see if the work is copyrighted, and if it’s not, I feel that it’s okay. I swiped the photo of Stella from this blog, and the flag from somewhere else. I’m a Photoshop fiend, so I usually change the image somehow. If anyone ever asks me to remove their work, I’ll gladly do it.
Now when someone steals my words…..grrrrrrrrrrrrrr….
OK, for the record folks, I AM going to throw my vote away. I’m voting for Mr Potato Head.
[...] Stella from A Life with Buck and my Lily are so much cuter than these two. [...]
