Tam says of PETA’s new campaign to rename fish to sea kitten:

While I have been assured that fish don’t have feelings, let me let you in on a little secret: It wouldn’t matter to me if they did. The way salmon tastes, I wouldn’t care if it begged for mercy on the hook, screamed all the way to the table, and struggled going down. Can you grok that? I am an omnivore. It is a fish. Omnivores will eat anything they can run down, outwit, or beat wrestling, two falls out of three. Fish fall into that category. Case closed. Yum.

Cam Edwards was reporting on this Friday on the air while I was sitting off camera trying not to giggle (you can see the segment, at least until 1/12 at 9:00, if you get through the introductory video, click on the last show, and put the slider about 1/3rd way down right under the NL on the “AUDIO ONLY” button above).  It’s getting hard to satirize PETA, because they are becoming a joke themselves.

This “documentary” by The Discovery Channel is why I don’t watch the Discovery Channel anymore.  When it first came on the air years ago, it was worth watching.  Then it went into all natural disasters, all the time mode.  Now it has maybe one show that I would think about watching.

Bitter and I plan to drop cable service shortly.  It’s horrendously expensive for digital HD, and we hardly watch it.  I’d rather save the money and spend it on ammunition, which is more entertaining for me than sitting in front of the boob tube watching overpriced, bad cable programming.

A town there worries that sharp pointy things being sold might tarnish their family friendly image.  And no doubt scare the Massachusetts folks who come there to spend money too.

Apparently none of the women on The View know what suffrage is.  Perhaps they would like to sign a petition to end women’s suffrage.

You know, Obama supporters came totally unhinged about what happened to Dan Cooper, and said I was all manner of awful things.  All I did was ask people not to buy his product.  If this is their idea of an acceptable boycott, apparently I didn’t go nearly far enough!

Of course, just because it’s bold, doesn’t mean it’s not stupid.   It takes a certain kind of person to advertise to the world, in big bold letters, that you’re a total idiot.  We can look forward to more of this over the next four years.

… even wasting ink printing nonsense like this:

If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness – and hopelessness!

As SayUncle said, “And gun nuts are the crazy ones?” Up until now, I’ve thought the media wants Obama to win badly, but seeing how unhinged they’ve gotten lately, I’m left to wonder if they want him to go down in flames.  Might make for better headlines.

I will be happy to donate to Republican candidates if progressive political operatives are going to pull crap like this:

The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.

Heh.  At least Mary McFate never tired to intimidate Brady supporters.  God help us if these people ever return to power.
