The Grumpy Vegan is Palined out on Vick. Or should it be Vicked out on Palin? Anyway, I can’t keep up with all this activity. Let alone have the time to watch 60 Minutes on the Internet. The GOP should run a slate of Palin and Vick as candidates for president and vice president for the post-Obama world-going-to-hell-in-a-floral-handbag celebrations. Francione says this. Singer says that. HSUS one thing. PETA another. Everyone, it seems, has an opinion. My thinking is all over the place. Can’t trust Vick but want to give him benefit of the doubt. What’s unequivocal, however, is that he earns too much money doing something that’s completely pointless. I guess the only justification for sport is that it helps straight men from going to war. Yes, it’s straight men that are the problem. Straight men with guns are the worst, particularly when they’re liquored up on politics and religion. Oh well. And I don’t even live in the country anymore. So, I don’t know what to think because I’m too busy trying to think about other things over here. But I definitely want to no longer see dogs used by anyone anywhere as pathetic displays of machismo. Real men cry when their dog suffers. I want to see Vick out of the spotlight quietly working with men who desperately need help to make them wanted and valuable members of the community. He could be a role model who could make all the difference. Only time will tell.
