Typically Measured Response By A Typically Stupid Group–That’s PETA

PETA is just a "shock" group

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals know how to grab attention. And show off its laundry.

The animal rights group, which every year stages a protest at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, had two of its members dress in Ku Klux Klan garb outside Madison Square Garden on Monday.

Their goal, according to a post on the PETA website, was to draw a parallel between the KKK and the American Kennel Club. “Obviously it’s an uncomfortable comparison,” PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told the Associated Press.

But the AKC is trying to create a “master race” when it comes to pure-bred dogs, he added. “It’s a very apt comparison.”

The group passed out brochures implying the Klan and AKC have the goal of “pure bloodlines” in common.  (Read more)

B.S. Report–PETA is a joke.  There are some responsible groups out there that do good work defending animals.  PETA is not one of them.  They are “shock-troopers” who specialize in making outrageous displays and outrageous statements.

I remember their campaign that compared the killing of chickens to the murdering of Jews in the Holocaust.  The campaign was called, if I remember correctly, “Holocaust on Your Plate.”  And their leader and spokesperson Ingrid Newkirk not only didn’t apologize for it, but stood by the campaign.  Do not give them a penny of your hard-earned money.

Finally, who is the American Kennel Club harming by breeding pure-bred dogs for those few individuals who want them?  Does PETA hate pure-breds? The vast percentage of people who have dogs are not interested in their breeding as much as their “cuteness” and their temperament.

In my opinion PETA has successfully bred a “master race” ….a “master race” of morons that make up their membership.

‘Pot Heads’ Rip Kellogg’s For Dropping Michael Phelps

NEW YORK (AP) — Snap, crackle … pot?

Bursting with indignation, legions of legalize-marijuana advocates are urging a boycott of Kellogg Co., including all of its popular munchies, for deciding to cut ties with Olympic hero Michael Phelps after he was photographed with a pot pipe.

The leader of one of the biggest groups, the Marijuana Policy Project, called Kellogg’s action “hypocritical and disgusting,” and said he’d never seen his membership so angry, with more than 2,300 of them signing an online petition.

“Kellogg’s had no problem signing up Phelps when he had a conviction for drunk driving, an illegal act that could actually have killed someone,” said Rob Kampia, the group’s executive director. “To drop him for choosing to relax with a substance that’s safer than beer is an outrage, and it sends a dangerous message to young people.”

Also urging a boycott were the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Students for Sensible Drug Policy and the Drug Policy Alliance.

Norm Stamper, a former Seattle police chief active in the push for easing marijuana laws, released a letter to Kellogg in which he pleaded for “sane, sensible, and compassionate drug policies” and said the company had “underestimated the country’s maturity on this issue.”

Personally, I'm more offended by his "Heil Hitler" salute!

B.S. Report–Get a life you pot heads!  Kellogg’s isn’t responsible for the fact that marijuana is illegal.  Kellogg’s has an image to protect.  They are a huge corporation.  It’s also none of your business.  Go run your own companies and your own lives and allow Kellogg’s to run their affairs.

You’re protesting against Kellogg’s–they’re the ones that hired Phelps in the first place.  It’s not like they have anything against him personally–they’re a “wholesome” company that makes tons of different cereals–many of them for kids.  Are you saying they shouldn’t worry about their image?  Chill.  Go home and take a hit and leave Kellogg’s alone.

Make Room For Another Steroid Cheat…Tejada pleads guilty of lying to Congress…

Oops, Maybe I Wasn’t 100% Truthful

(AP)–All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada pleaded guilty Wednesday to lying to Congress about the use of performance-enhancing drugs and admitted buying what he believed was human growth hormone.

Appearing before a federal magistrate, the 34-year-old starter for the Houston Astros admitted that he lied to congressional investigators who had asked about steroid use by major league ballplayers. Tejada also acknowledged purchasing the drugs while playing with the Oakland Athletics.

He said he had second thoughts and threw the drug away without using it. Prosecutors said they had no evidence to contradict his claim.

Tejada, who was born in the Dominican Republic, listened through headphones to a simultaneous Spanish translation to the court proceedings. As he pleaded guilty, his voice cracked and one of his attorneys patted him on the shoulder.

Tejada doing what he does best-playing, not talking.

The misdemeanor charge of making misrepresentations to Congress can lead to as much as a year in jail. But federal guidelines call for a lighter sentence.

Federal Magistrate Judge Alan Kay said he would sentence Tejada on March 26, which falls during spring training. The Astros are not scheduled to play an exhibition game that day.

The terms of the plea deal were outlined in a letter to Tejada’s attorneys dated Feb. 5, and he was given a deadline of Feb. 23 to respond. “His guilty plea in this case may subject him to detention, deportation and other sanctions at the direction of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the letter said.

An agency spokeswoman said it individually reviews cases of legal permanent residents convicted of a crime to determine if they should be deported. She said the agency would not talk about Tejada’s status because it doesn’t discuss individual cases.

The judge asked Tejada whether he had used any alcohol or drugs, legal or illegal, in the last 24 hours that could affect his decision. Tejada answered softly, “Last night I took a couple of drinks.” But he told the judge he wasn’t currently under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  (Read more.)

B.S. Report–At this rate is there going to be any clean players left to play the games?  Why don’t they just make the list of the 104 players public?  I mean, it doesn’t seem fair that some guys names are being leaked while others are kept hidden.

Seriously, these players were told that their tests were confidential and now the results are being leaked piece-meal to the public.  That’s dirty pool and I’m sure that the Baseball Union will have plenty to say on this breach of trust.  I assume that’s why Tejada is coming clean because he knows he tested dirty.

Woman Takes Her Sad Story Right To Obama Himself…I’m Thinking Of Doing The Same…

Step right up...I've got an unlimited sack of presents for everyone!

FORT MYERS, Fla., Feb. 10 (UPI) — A homeless Florida woman living in a car asked U.S. President Barack Obama for help Tuesday during his town hall meeting on his economic stimulus plan.

“I have an urgent need, unemployment and homelessness, a very small vehicle for my family and I to live in,” the woman told Obama during a question-and-answer session in Fort Myers, Fla.. “We need urgent (help).”

The woman said she was told by an area housing authority that there was a two-year waiting list.

“We need something more than the vehicle and the parks to go to,” she said, tears streaming. “We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help.”

Obama told her that his staff would talk to her about her situation after the town hall ended.

He said his administration would “do everything we can to help you but there are a lot of people like you. And we’re going to do everything we can, all right?”

B.S. Report–Dear Santa President Obama, I, too, have many problems I’d like to discuss with you.  My taxes have been going up, up, up.  Property taxes, income taxes,  consumption taxes-you name it!   Anyway, I’m worried that all these additional taxes I’m paying are not being used for the betterment of my country.

Furthermore, I’m worried that the Federal Government’s new “stimulus” package is an Unconstitutional assault on every citizen of this country.  Also, I’m concerned that we’re bankrupting this nation with a debt that will unfairly have to be paid by our children and grandchildren who will suffer a decreased standard of living because of this bill.

Please, bear with me Mr. President, I’m almost done.  I’m further concerned that we’re going to institute Socialized medicine in this country despite the fact that it’s been an abject failure everywhere else its been attempted–and forgive me sir, it seems that our country is on a fast-track to Socialism itself!

I’m worried Mr. President that we’re also not protecting this country or its borders very well.  Oh, and our schools and our government are not promoting and protecting America’s sovereignty.

…And I think that our government has totally ditched the ideas of our Founders and Framers and no longer remotely pays any attention to Constitutional restraints, limited government and Federalism.

Oh, and one last thing….I guess Mr. President I can use a new kitchen too!  And the ole car needs new tires…and…and….

Obama:  Go See My Staff After The Press Conference.

Move Over Coca-Cola, India’s New Beverage: Yummy Cow Urine! Ad Agency Might Have Tough Sell

This from the UK Time Online

Now This Is What I Call The Really, Real Thing

Hey, you, get back in the vending machine!

Does your Pepsi lack pep? Is your Coke not the real thing? India’s Hindu nationalist movement apparently has the answer: a new soft drink made from cow urine.

The bovine brew is in the final stages of development by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), India’s biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, according to the man who makes it.

Om Prakash, the head of the department, said the drink – called “gau jal”, or “cow water” – in Sanskrit was undergoing laboratory tests and would be launched “very soon, maybe by the end of this year”.

“Don’t worry, it won’t smell like urine and will be tasty too,” he told The Times from his headquarters in Hardwar, one of four holy cities on the River Ganges. “Its USP will be that it’s going to be very healthy. It won’t be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins.”

The drink is the latest attempt by the RSS – which was founded in 1925 and now claims eight million members – to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its ideology of Hindutva, or Hindu-ness.

Hindus revere cows and slaughtering them is illegal in most of India. Cow dung is traditionally used as a fuel and disinfectant in villages, while cow urine and dung are often consumed in rituals to “purify” those on the bottom rungs of the Hindu caste system.

In 2001, the RSS and its offshoots – which include the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party – began promoting cow urine as a cure for ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer. (Read more.)

B.S. Report–You go ahead and drink whatever you want…but I don’t care if it tastes like a chocolate shake, I’m not drinking cow piss!  I’m a little funny that way.  I don’t eat brains, testicles or cockroaches, and I don’t drink piss.  Yes, I know, that doesn’t make me a good contestant for “Fear Factor.”   Now if I was stranded on an island somewhere things would be different-but I won’t go out of my way to make myself sick.

Yep, give me the good old-fashioned chemicals made in the good ole USA!  I don’t think that cow urine is going to warrant much shelf space of any mainstream market here in the U.S.–at least not until we’ve been completely transformed into a 3rd-world country.  I wouldn’t be surprised if someday President Obama makes it a law that cow piss has to have equal shelf space as Coke and Pepsi.

Kids Spend 31 hours a week online; 2 hours watching porn. Not bad, that’s a 15-1 ratio!

UK Teens Spend 31 Hours A Week Online, 2 Hours On Porn

They spend some three and a half hours communicating with friends on MSN, and around two hours on YouTube and in chat rooms.

Just over an hour is devoted to looking up cosmetic surgery procedures such as how to enlarge breasts and get collagen implants, an hour and a half is spent on family planning and pregnancy websites and one hour 35 minutes is spent investigating diets and weight loss.

One in four teenagers of the 1,000 polled said they regularly spoke to strangers online but thought it harmless.

One in three admitted trying to hide what they were looking at if a parent entered the room.

No mom, don't come in, I'm just doing my...uh, homework.

But children also use the internet to help them with homework, with at least three hours a week spent searching for such information.

The research was conducted by http://www.cybersentinel.co.uk, which provides software solutions allowing parents to block access to certain sites.

Spokesman Ellie Puddle said: “The alarming thing is the survey shows teenagers are obviously exploring all sorts of topics as a result of modern-day pressures.

“Talking to friends on social networking websites can be completely risk-free, good fun. But there is also the danger of online predators.

“Teenagers and parents need to realise the dangers of talking to strangers online but parents must not overreact by denying access to the internet. The internet is a fantastic resource for learning and development.”

B.S. Report–Well, those are just British kids…I’m sure our kids are much more responsible!  Instead of looking up cosmetic surgery sites, they might want to find a good dentist–have you seen most Brits teeth?

What A Giver! Salma Hayek Breastfeeds Baby In Africa

GOT MILK?  Why yes, she does!

HERE is the amazing moment when Hollywood actress SALMA HAYEK breastfeeds a stranger’s baby in Africa.

The Ugly Betty star was visiting a hospital in war-torn Sierra Leone when she met a woman unable to feed her starving tot.

Salma gladly came to her aid and fed the baby, ignoring the TV cameras.

Salma said: “The baby was perfectly healthy, but the mother did not have any milk.

“He was very hungry – I was weaning my daughter VALENTINA, but I still had a lot of milk, so I breastfed the baby.

“It was amazing because he’s really looking at me and he’s very little. My baby is one year so she can suck a lot harder.”

"and I'm telling you all that in the future I will only use these puppies to do good works!"

B.S. Report–I’ve got an idea–We should send all our Hollywood Starlets to 3rd world countries and cure the awful problem of malnurished babies.  See the breastfeeding picture here …it’s property of the UK Sun so I’ll have you go there to see it.

Animal Porn All The Rage Among Zoo Patrons

Zoorotica Program At Binder Park Zoo

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Chocolate and flowers are nice, but this Valentine’s Day why not take your honey for a walk on the wild side?

“We’re going to talk about animal reproduction, the different animals here at Binder Park Zoo and their little quirks, different things that get them going to help them reproduce,” said Jenny Parnett of Binder Park Zoo.

It’s a Valentine’s Day date that’s sure to ruffle some feathers.

Binder Park Zoo says love birds are flocking to sign up for the Zoorotica program. From frolicking frogs to the love-lives of leopards, this will give you an intimate look at animal mating rituals.

The R-rated show lets you go where no zoo guests have gone before.

But you said you were just going to spoon with me...

B.S. Report–You mean, for $50, I get to see hot animal sex like this?  Wow! Sign me up–NOT!  Yes, I know there can be an educational argument made for this but count me out.  I’ll just watch the zoo animals from the front of the cage.  That’s dangerous enough, especially if you’ve ever had some angry monkeys wing their feces at you.

Personally, I’m not all that into people porn so why would I want to watch animal porn?  It’s Valentine’s Day for crying out loud! Where’s the romance?  Some things are better left to the imagination.  Hey, that was pretty hot, got a cigarette?

Middle School Kids Facing Child-Porn Charges After ‘Sexting’ Nude Photo

This from the Boston Herald

Six middle-schoolers may face kid porn rap

FALMOUTH – Six middle school students could face child porn charges after a boy took a nude photo of his 13-year-old girlfriend and “sexted” it to his pals’ cell phones, cops said.

The six boys, ages 12 to 14, will be summoned to Falmouth District Court for a hearing to determine whether they should be charged with possessing, exhibiting or distributing child porn in the form of a text message photo, according to The Cape Cod Times.

Wendy Murphy, who lectures on sex crimes at the New England School of Law, said “sexting” almost has become an “epidemic.” Murphy said, “I know it seems heavy-handed to bring child porn charges. Law enforcement is using the only tool it has for what has become a huge problem nationwide.”

Columbia University Professor Sari Locker said surveys suggest one in five teens has sent or received nude or semi-nude pictures. “When boys receive a nude picture of a girl, they think the next time they see her they can go further with her in a sexual way than before,” she said. “It becomes an invitation to advance a sexual relationship.” But Locker said she believes criminal charges are excessive: “Clearly these boys are not sexual predators or pedophiles.”

This can be a dangerous tool in the hands of teens.

B.S. Report–If you have teen kids, especially boys, you need to have some restrictions placed on their phone use.   This “sexting” is all the rage among kids in their early teens and it can cause all sorts of damage if nude pictures are uploaded on the internet.

I’ve seen now that girls, too, are taking compromising photos of themselves and “sexting” them to their boyfriends as a little “present.”  These are things that they would probably never do if they took the time to think about the repercussions.  But kids don’t think…they’re kids.  They need parental controls on the phone and they need to be told exactly what they cannot use their phones for on the day they receive it.

Report: Ex-baseball star Roberto Alomar sued by ex-girlfriend for having sex and not telling her he has AIDS…

$15 Million Law Suit Claims He Had Sex Knowing He Had AIDS

Roberto Alomar

Baseball great Roberto Alomar has full-blown AIDS but insisted on having unprotected sex, his ex-girlfriend charged Tuesday in a bombshell lawsuit.

The shocking claim was leveled by Ilya Dall, 31, who said she lived with the ex-Met for three years and watched in horror as his health worsened.

In papers filed in state and federal court, Dall said Alomar finally got tested in January 2006 while suffering from a cough, fatigue and shingles.

“The test results of him being HIV-positive was given to him and the plaintiff on or about Feb.6, 2006,” the $15 million negligence suit says.

Nine days later, the couple went to see a disease specialist who discovered a mass in the retired second baseman’s chest, the court papers say.

Alomar’s skin had turned purple, he was foaming at the mouth and a spinal tap “showed he had full-blown AIDS,” the suit says.

Ex-girlfriend suing for $15 million

Alomar, 41, who quit baseball over health issues in 2005, could not be reached for comment.

His lawyer, Charles Bach, would not say whether Alomar is HIV-positive. “We believe this is a totally frivolous lawsuit. These allegations are baseless,” Bach said. “He’s healthy and would like to keep his health status private. We’ll do our talking in court.”

Alomar’s father, Mets bench coach Sandy Alomar, said the claims were news to him. “That’s the first time we ever heard of that,” he said from Puerto Rico.

He didn’t think his son could keep a serious illness secret. “I imagine I would know,” he said.

Dall, a mother of two who has run a massage spa in Queens, would not discuss the suit.  (Read more.)

B.S. Report–On the baseball side of things Roberto Alomar is possibly a future Hall of Famer and one of the top 5 second basemen of all time.  His career ran out of steam early and it makes you wonder if  HIV and AIDS may have played a role.

Having sex if you knowingly have HIV or AIDS is a serious crime.  It seems though, that the ex-girlfriend was sticking her head in the sand and pretending he wasn’t sick.  That’s no excuse for him but she should have been more alert.  In life, you have to assume that no one is looking out for your best interests except yourself.

Alomar says he was raped by 2 Mexican men back when he was 17  years old and that’s why he suffers from “erectile dysfunction.”    Terrible story if it’s true…(but maybe he can get one of those commercials…never mind).  It’s odd that no one in Alomar’s family even seems to know that he’s had health problems.

Hopefully he can live a long life like most of these people with AIDS are today.  As to you Ilya, I hope, if what you’re saying is true, you get a few bucks–but not the $15 million you’re after.
