San Diego Serenade

shiver me timbers, I'm sailing away....

you know Wendy McCaw and Sarah Miller McCune have some things in common..money and gender...and that's about it...if Wendy ever sells, Sarah would be a likely buyer, but I think Wendy's going down with the ship...

I picked up a copy of Sarah's mag and thought it was pretty good... heads and tails above anything Wendy has ever published...it's a broad look at issues around the world versus a paper that prints the same thing day after day with the same idiots selling the same idiotic editorials: strong anti-government /anti-worker slop....

now, I saw two things that were interesting..one in the NP where a PETA lawyer is suing Sea World in san Diego on behalf of some orcas..killer whales in pens that do tricks for people..paying customers..the thinking is that animals should have civil rights like black folks, that the orcas are being subjected to slavery!!...

I swear to God, it was a bizarre read... first of all, civil pertains to citizens, not animals...so suing for civil rights for orcas is stupid...the orcas should be released and never penned for tricks of course, but PETA is barking up the wrong tree on this one..animal cruelty or abuse is against the law, yet the National Parks Service and Nature Coinservancy got away with killing thousands of animals in the name of nativism...biological nativism even though the little foxes that caused all the killing and over-reactions are inbred!!

then, in Sarah's magazine, there was a link to a thoughtful article about corporations and lawyers wanting to confer human rights upon animals and declare them "legal persons"...this whole notion is absurd and irrational...can you imagine what the courts would look like....dogs everywhere... I could be covering a trial with a dog as a defendent!!!

well, let's test that theory..let's say this bullmastiff named Mikey in the video had the same equal rights as me..Mikey just got rescued from an icy river and the TV news was doing a story on him, invited him to the studio....then he goes on TV and bites this poor anchorwoman's face in front of witnesses, who pretend nothing happened...the dog's civil rights were violated by the woman because she leaned into the doggie to kiss him....maybe sexual harassment??

well,

I could be sitting there watching the dog vs the anchorwoman in a court hearing!!
your witness: Fido, did you intentionally lunge at and try to make out with Ms Wizzam?
Fido: rrrrr..grrrr..ruff ruff...
Your Honor, can you please have the witness speak English!!
but wait..Your Honor is...a dog, too!!!
