Watching the Monday Night Football game, and seeing the crowd suddenly run onto the field in a panic. A game that was nationally televised, and just HAPPENED to be being played in our Nation's capitol. If you saw it, you had to have just a moment's hesitation. Had someone released a chemical agent in the crowd? Was it a terrorist attack? Had Saddam managed to strike first (OK, a little melodramatic, but my blog to I can have the license)? The answers are Yes, No, and No. Turns out to be pepper spray that was used to break up a fight in the stands that got sucked up by those huge fans ond blown towards the field. Tell me you weren't just a little nervous, that your heart wasn't racing just a little faster, when you saw the Philly players and coaches running onto the field. Yeah, right.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch
PETA is being investigated for possible ties to terrorist activities in the US, and whether their not for profit status should be revoked. Well, duh. There have always been 2 faces to PETA; that of the "fur is yucky, let's get rich celebrity types to agree" group, and the darker, more sinister side. And the eco-terrorists they support probably don't even have any idea what they are destroying when they burn down labs that are doing alzheimers, aids, and cancer research. What kind of mentality are you facing? This quote by a PETA spokesperson says it all:
PETA's sympathies for ELF actions were apparent in a recent speech by PETA Vice President Bruce Friedrich. "I think it would be great if all of the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories and the banks that fund them exploded tomorrow," he said.
Let's not forget the home grown variety while we pursue the war on terrorism.
