I know I promised not to get political anymore. But when I make a promise, it will more than likely be broken.

So now we've got a civil war going on in Iraq. You know... The one that Bush said wasn't going to ever happen. Yeah, that one.

I'll leave you to make your own remarks.

I watch a show whenever I get a chance called, "Bullshit!" It's on Showtime, and is hosted by Penn and Teller. I must admit that the only reason I started watching the show is because of Penn and Teller, and how much I adore them. That, and I'm naturally drawn towards things that have cuss words in the title (Hence "Fucktitles").

Recently, they did a show about PETA. For those of you who don't know what PETA is, PETA is an acronym. It's a collection of letters that usually spell out some other word or, in this case, not. Each letter stands for a word, such as F.B.I. is an acronym for Federal Bureau of Investigations. C.I.A. stands for Central Intelligence Agency. And F.Y.M.D.D.D. stands for Fuck Your Mother with a Double Donged Dildo. And yes, I did just make that one up (Our meetings are the first Tuesday of every month, if you're interested).

Oh... What does PETA stand for? People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. These are the people who pour red paint all over themselves to represent the blood of the slaughtered animals. These are the people who start a picket line every time Arby's introduces a deliciously horrifying, meat-filled sandwich.

Oh, and they're fucking insane too.

Why do I think they're insane? Because they think that animals should have rights? Because they think that all animals should be free to live their own lives without human interference at all?

Well.... yeah.

Animals are animals. They have been a source of food, clothing, and entertainment since... well... Since the beginning of man. I can assure you that there wasn't a PETA around during the caveman years. Part of this is due to the fact that the act of people assembling for a cause didn't happen for quite some time (1952 to be exact). Part of this is due to the fact that if you didn't kill animals, you would have no food, no clothing, and no cute little animal-bone knick knacks to display on your shelves (The shelves were also made out of animals).

But just calling them insane for wanting to see animals free isn't valid enough, so let me tell you some of the ways they go about seeing if they can free animals.

First off, there's the picketing. The demonstrating. The yelling angry, hurtful things through a megaphone while trying to hand a flier out to somebody. The red paint. The conventions. The fire bombings of animal clinics and medical research facilities. The- Wait a minute. Back that up. Let me repeat that in big letters so you don't miss it:

THE FIRE BOMBINGS OF ANIMAL CLINICS AND MEDICAL RESEARCH FACILITIES!

Human life is less important to these people than animal life, and last time I checked... most of these people were humans... although some could make a strong case to prove me wrong.

Now it's not like you'll see the head of PETA standing outside of a medical research clinic with a molotov cocktail and a Zippo lighter, grimacing with hate and gastronomical pains (Vegans are very gassy from what I've heard). No no no... They just hire people to do it for them. They payroll terrorists! No blood on their hands.

Now why is medical testing that involves animals bad? Last time I checked... Every single major medicine that's out there was tested on animals before humans. Penicillin, insulin, drugs that could possibly wipe out AIDS and cancer... You know... Those pesky little diseases that keep on getting in the way of... oh... I don't know... LIFE!

I believe in the moderation of testing on animals. I don't believe that a rabbit should have perfume sprayed in it's eyes and tubes of lipstick shoved up it's ass. But I think for the cure for cancer... we could spare a few bunnies. Maybe even a horse or two.

If you have cable, I highly suggest you try and catch this episode of "Bullshit!" It's compelling, educational.... and... well... Scary (There are people who go on the record, on camera, and say that they would kill a human being if it meant saving an animals life).

So meanwhile, I'll go back to watching CNN and banging my head against the table. It's such a good thing that we finally got this whole Iraq situation straightened out. I mean... A dictator killing their people is WRONG! DAMN WRONG! But if they're killing each other (And some of our troops)... well... We can let that slide.

Oh... and if you're interested, I have a news website now. It blends the political with the funny. It's at www.dailyfoot.com. I hope you enjoy it.

Until then... VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

Ack! I think crapped my pants. Too excited.
