Hello, once again, friends and fellow bloggers. I just read an artical on MSN about how PETA objected to Obama swatting a fly away from his face. Now, let me quote the artical, "...that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses. Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't." Ok, let me get this straight, you are happy with his voting pattern in the Senate, where it really really matter, on behalf of animal rights. But you're upset that he smacked the fly and said, "Got the little sucker". Now, PETA, check this out, if flies are people too, then I think that the fly is the one to blame. Did not Obama politely ask the fly to leave him alone? It's on tape. He asked nicely. But, no. The Fly was very rude, disrespected Obama's boundaries, and even when given the change to leave peacefully, the fly chose to press the issue. If you ask me, and I know you won't PETA, it was the fly that instigated the situation. It was the fly who was rude and disrespectful, and it was the fly to paid the piper. If flies, are people too, then let them get a job and pay taxes! I have to wonder how many of the PETA people don't freek the hell out when a fly lands on their pricy white-uppermiddle-socioleconomic-status meal. Do they say, "eat up little fly, little brother. Partake in my meal and share your diseases with me?" My money says that they smack the little git. Jesus, PETA, cut the prez some slack and clarify your own priorities.

And that, folks, really grinds my gears...
