Weird Week

Weird Week, blame it on the full moon? I am not making this stuff up.
1. PETA wants to change name of fish to “sea kittens”. That is correct. You are not seeing a typo. In an effort to make eating fish unpleasant by changing the name to something soft and furry and associated with pets, PETA embarks on a tactic that is questionable at best. No street cred gained here. What about catfish, dog fish, land shark, Chicken of the Sea?
Did those pull your heartstrings? Me either. My cat is highly put out.

This is my cat, Katie
This is a PETA "Sea Kitten". Honest. This is what they created. Go visit their website. There are others.

2. Man wants his kidney back in divorce settlement. Dr. Richard Batista, a surgeon at Nassau University Medical Center, told reporters at his lawyer's office that he decided to go public with his demand for his donated kidney’s compensation, because he had grown frustrated with the divorce negotiations with his estranged wife, Dawnell Batista. Claiming that he gave more than his heart that he also gave his kidney to save his wife.

Lawyers separate from the case have noted that donated body parts are not considered settlement assets. Hmmm. Good to know.

3. Ann Coulter promotes new book: Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault on America. The only guilt in the book is hers. She has written a book full of mean minded, ill willed falsehoods and misrepresentations of the truth and disregard for facts. If Ann were fiction she’d be the love child of Archie Bunker and Cruella DeVille. Sadly, she is real. Sorry, I could not read all of it so this is not a fair and unbiased review, not that I’d give her one, my politics and ethics would not allow that, but I sensed that my blood pressure was going off the charts, so I put it down. Way down. Where the sun does not shine. I have no idea what makes Ann so mean spirited. Sand in her underwear? She's sure chapped about something. Maybe it is oxygen deprivation from riding that high horse? Which brings to me another oddity. How can you be such a horse's backside from way up there? Another mystery not to ponder. If you have the stomach for it, you can watch her interview on "The View" to promote her book on youtube.com. 

4. New Jersey couple that named child Adolf Hitler is back in the news. These fun loving parents first made news in December when a grocery store bakery refused to put the child’s name on a birthday cake. The parents contacted the press. The child and his two siblings have now been removed from their parents’ custody for reasons that have not been made clear. Heath Campbell, the three year old boy’s father, said he named his son after Adolf Hitler because he liked the name and because "no one else in the world would have that name." Well, duh.

There was a full moon when this stuff started. No wonder "lunatic" was coined from the craziness that seemed to manifest during a full moon. Be careful where you step. There's an unusual number of nuts rolling around.

Cheers and peace.
