So, here we have John Harwood of NBC getting ready for yet one more media "softball" session with our new el presidente and what happens? The commander-in-chief nicely nails a pain in the ass housefly with a very deft blow and PETA goes nuts.
PETA, in case you didn't know, stands for People Eating Tasty Animals...or something like that. (Hey, I'm a kidder.)
Actually it stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. (I like my acronym better.)
Here is my question: Since when is a goddamn housefly an animal??!! It's a soulless FREAKING INSECT!! Flies are a delivery system for every disease and parasite known to man. These winged angels of pestilence tap dance on all things disgusting, (dog crap for starters), and happily seek us out to "share" the experience. I hate them.
PETA people need to take a good look at their priorities. It's one thing to be against kicking dogs and cats, or cooking them for that matter, but PLEASE get real about some of the other stuff. Calling fish "Sea Kittens" so we won't eat them? Protecting nasty houseflies?? Come back to us PETA people. You're in lunar orbit.
By the way...this particular incident reminded me of one of my guttersnipe junior high pals, Joey the K. Joey used to capture flies in study hall and tie a thread around their tiny thorax's like they were pets. This was highly amusing to the rest of us at the seventh grade table especially when Joey would yank just a little too hard and the fly's head would come off. PETA should have been there. Now that was entertainment!
I choose to look at this big deal "flygate" incident as an opportunity for new dialog with the Obama administration. Maybe we don't see eye to eye on the monetary system, the supreme court, health care or basically...ANYTHING, but we by-God agree on what to do about flies. YOU KILL THE BASTARDS!
