ANOTHER PUSH FOR VEGETARIANISM

It's fun to be the target of most of the national reporting shows - at least for a couple of days.

Arizona has 1) passed the strictest illegal immigration laws so far, but almost guarantees racial profiling (like, duh!), 2) approved carrying a concealed weapon without requiring a class or additional permit, and 3) Sue Lowden proposing health care reform via bartering chickens for medical care.

Oh, wait, that's Nevada, not Arizona.

But Arizona was the lead story on both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's shows tonight - and since I live three miles from the Mexican border, it's sorta fun to hear all about "Law and Border."

And the story on Colbert went on to show an actual chicken (and a parakeet and a rabbit and a goose) to poke fun at Lowden and the barter idea....

... and mentioned "cutting off just a drumstick for the co-pay", holding up a butcher knife.

AND THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE SHRIEKED, obviously ON THE CHICKEN'S SIDE.

Does the American public realize that Chicken McNuggets, KFC, and grilled chicken comes from LIVE ANIMALS?!

Please, again, can we talk about lowering cholesterol and food expenses and eating a WHOLE lot healthier by getting at least a tiny bit on the side of vegetarions, okay?
