Unstuffed

Following in the footsteps of bandmate extraordinaire Collin Llewellyn, fellow English major, he goes blogging. I only wish it was for Hell-A magazine instead of for fun.

The subject of this blog today is Captain Courageous herself, Sarah Louise Heath Palin. People have probably all seen the recent interview with the animal-lover, in which turkeys are slaughtered behind her by a man smiling and looking into the camera of the interview. Palin at one point even glanced back toward the obscenely graphic slaughter and must have noticed the carnage and the blood spewing from the poor thing's neck. She proceeded to go on with the interview, evidently finding no problem in the fact that she was standing in front of a very disgusting and disturbing image. Then again, she's probably used to seeing animals die from her hunting days she brags about so much. Palin and her crew denied that she knew what was going on behind her. This is not only unbelievable, it's a pathetic get-out politicians use too much these days. She was there specifically to see the turkeys, and must have known they weren't there for a day being caged and fattened just for fun.

I'm not an animal activist or anything. I realize that in order for people to have their Thanksgiving feasts, animals have to suffer. I even partake in enjoying having turkey on Thanksgiving. Until this year. Not only was the image of Sarah Palin, almost vice president of the country (thank God for Joe Biden) extremely disturbing to me, the background was so disgusting I can't even fathom having turkey again at this point.
