The Wonderful World Of Peta And Groundhog's Day

Below is a letter Peta wrote The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club and I think to myself as I am eating my ham, eggs and bacon for breakfast, Are these nut-jobs serious? I know many believe Punxsutawney Phil is cute but in reality its a giant rat.



January 26, 2010


Bill Deeley
President
The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club

Dear Mr. Deeley,

I am writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 2 million members and supporters worldwide. We would like to present you with an exciting, innovative proposal--one that would benefit both Punxsutawney and Punxsutawney Phil. Please review the following information and then make the compassionate decision to use an animatronic Phil and retire the live groundhogs who are used for Groundhog Day activities to a sanctuary.

To most people, Groundhog Day--celebrated annually on February 2--is a welcome midwinter diversion, but Punxsutawney Phil is forced to be on display year round at the local library and is denied the ability to prepare for and enter yearly hibernation. These normally shy animals--who are constantly on alert when they are out of their burrows--become stressed when they are exposed to large, screaming crowds; flashing lights from perhaps hundreds of cameras; and human handling.

The popularity of using technologically advanced electromechanical devices such as animatronic animals instead of live animals is rising. Performances such as "Walking With Dinosaurs, the Live Experience"--a theatrical show in which animatronic dinosaurs roar, stomp, and chase each other around an arena--have been taking audiences by storm. Other popular exhibitions have featured robotic penguins and dolphins who swim and communicate just like real animals do, and we think that an animatronic groundhog would similarly mesmerize a crowd full of curious spectators in Punxsutawney.

Tradition is no excuse for cruelty, and this opportunity would allow Punxsutawney to engage in a futuristic, interactive, versatile, and humane annual event. We would be happy to make recommendations for both a sanctuary that would welcome Punxsutawney Phil and the other Punxsutawney groundhogs and a company that could make an animatronic Phil. May we please hear that non-animal alternatives will be used for Groundhog Day celebrations in Punxsutawney next year? Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,


Gemma Vaughan, MSW

Wrigley Field May Host Paul McCartney This Summer

Original Story Link Here
(This story is from spinner.com)

Major League Baseball teams may not be the only ones hitting home runs right out of the ballpark at Wrigley Field this summer. Fox Chicago News reports that the Chicago Cubs, who own the ballpark, are currently in talks with Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews Band, Phish and the long-running Billy Joel and Elton John package which came to Wrigley Field for two dates last season.

Concerts at the ballpark were mired in controversy last year when a neighborhood group rallied for the cancellation of a Rascal Flatts concert. The group claimed it violated a previous two-shows per year agreement and that the date conflicted with a neighborhood festival. The Cubs have reassured neighbors that they will work with them to meet their needs and address their concerns.

Nothing has been confirmed so far, but Paul McCartney at Wrigley Field? Break out the peanuts and Cracker Jacks.

(I am sure I would like to go to this if it happens but I don't want to shell out the 400 bucks per ticket they probably be charging though.)

The Rappin' Granny ???

I am not even sure how I am going to comment on this Rappin' Granny video. The only thing I could say is when I watched it all I could do was sit there in a blank stare and watch it, so with that said here is the Rappin' Granny video.

O'Brien Leaves With Class

I don't watch that much late night television because of the strange hours I work. I used to watch The Tonight Show when Mr. Carson was the talk show host and for me nobody has ever came close to replacing him. I remember years ago when Johnny Carson announced he was retiring and the search for his replacement began. The weeks, months, and even years after he had retired was a time when all we heard about was the ratings war between David Letterman and Jay Leno. I never really liked David Letterman, Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien as talk show hosts and found there shows to be a bit boring to me. I recorded Conan's last show last night and watched it this morning and just wanted to say to him Thank You! Thank you for leaving with such class that NBC did not show the same courtesy to you and to Mr. Leno when you return to take over the show, please show the same kind of class and not be such an Ass.

David Defeats Goliath

I am not saying that it was as big as the landing on the moon in Massachusetts. I don't care if your a Republican,Democrat, Independent, or whatever party you align yourself with. This was a victory for the people by showing the politicians that you can't just sit back and not listen to the people when you are running for office.

George W To Lead Haiti Relief Effort?

We are sending George W Bush and Bill Clinton to run the Haiti Relief Effort. Are they serious in that they didn't have anyone else to run it? I know George W dropped the ball when it came to the Katrina aftermath and he was not the only reason that situation was such a mess. There were many to blame about the Katrina situation besides George W like Ray Nagin, FEMA, DHS and many others. I just feel if this administration needed to get a Republican to go with a Democrat (Bill Clinton) that they could have made a better choice than W. I truly feel sorry for all the innocent people in Haiti and my prayers are with them and that they don't suffer just to further someone's political aspirations.

The 'Devil' Writes Pat Robertson A Letter

The 'Devil' Writes Pat Robertson A Letter


By Frank James

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune published a letter from Satan to evangelist Pat Robertson, responding to his comment that Haiti's persistent troubles, including the earthquake, are due to a pact the nation made with Mephistopheles.

Actually, it wasn't Satan who wrote the letter but Lilly Coyle of Minneapolis writing in the persona of the hellish one.

I think she got it down pretty well. What say you?

Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action.

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.

Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"?

If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll.

You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan
