Or should it be Vicked out on Palin? Anyway, I can&#8217;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&#8217;t trust Vick but want to give him benefit of the doubt. What&#8217;s unequivocal, however, is that he earns too much money doing something that&#8217;s completely pointless. I guess the only justification for sport is that it helps straight men from going to war. Yes, it&#8217;s straight men that are the problem. Straight men with guns are the worst, particularly when they&#8217;re liquored up on politics and religion. Oh well. And I don&#8217;t even live in the country anymore. So, I don&#8217;t know what to think because I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grumpy Vegan is Palined out on Vick.
