In The News?

There’s a couple of articles in today’s paper that caught my attention because they have a (tenuous) link to each other.

In a story out of Frankfurt, Germany, a Jewish leader has criticized the Pope because he dared to use the word "Holocaust" when referring to the number of babies aborted as a result of government policies world wide. I wasn’t aware the Jewish people had a copyright on the term, but I guess you live and learn.

Speaking of possible holocausts, it seems that PETA faxed a letter to Gov. Frank Murkowski of Alaska, asking that he put a stop to all Alaskan fishing for king salmon, claiming the fish are "intelligent animals who feel pain." I presume that places the fish several steps above the PETA folks on the evolutionary ladder.

Now, sending a fax like that to an Alaskan governor would be enough to have even the fax machine spitting coffee across the room, but the real kicker here is that the fax was sent to Gov. Murkowski, "Governor of Alabama".

Attetnion to detail. Gotta love it.
