Where's PETA Noooow!


I'm not sure who to call first, the Minnesota judge I blogged about yesterday or PETA. This morning I stumbled across a very disturbing website, kittywigs.com.

I'm not a cat person. But, even I find buying wigs for cats cruel and very unusual. I find dressing any animal a tad askew, but this website takes creepy to a whole new level.

I doubt animals, particularly cats, are thinking, "Gee, I wish I had blue or pink hair."

I've seen many photos of animals in various "dress up" situations. And in each photo the animal looks to be saying, "Help me, for the love of all things respectable, please help me." Why don't the animal owners see this?

I realize some of my readers may participate in this "activity". I'm here for you. Put down the plaid sweater and reindeer antlers. Go to your pet and notice God has already provided them with a fur coat. They don't need accessories besides a litter box, pooper-scooper or things to chew on.

And one final thought. Why give your animal bottled water when they are just as contented to drink out of the toilet? Just think about it.

I'm Moving To Minnesota


It's true, I've decided Minnesota is the place to live.
Why, you ask?
Well, because there is no crime there, that's why.
What, you ask?
Well, the way I see it, if the judges there have the time to issue an injunction to allow cheating football players to play football despite being guilty, there must be nothing else for the judges to be doing.
Who, you ask?
Ok, let me explain.

Last week the NFL suspended six players, two from the Minnesota Vikings, for testing positive on a drug test. The drug, bumetanide, is a banned substance because it can cover up, mask, the use of steroids.

The NFL policy puts the responsibility on the players to know what they are putting in their bodies. The players know which substances are allowed and which are not.

It just so happens the two players from Minnesota, defensive linemen Kevin and Pat Williams, are star players. Without them, it is believed, Minnesota would have a hard time winning their remaining games. It also just happens that Minnesota is in a very very tight race for the playoffs. The judge is from Minnesota, of course, so resolving this issue might take some time.

My guess is this will be ironed out as soon as the Vikings playoff status has been ironed out.

Why do we wonder why these athletes are always in trouble with the law? These guys know they make money for people, often wealthy people. They just know when the crap starts flying, somebody will be there with an umbrella and a shovel.

Judges shouldn't be wasting taxpayer's money trying to protect athletes who cheat. I hope his honor enjoys his skybox seats for the playoffs.
