Monkey business

You wanted consistency? You got it. Well, sort of... The Spanish Parliament passed an unprecedented resolution yesterday granting equal rights to [drumroll please.......] apes. Unfortunately, this is not a satire, and I'm completely serious. Apparently, the Spaniards believe that monkeys should be protected under the same laws as humans. I'm not even sure where to begin on this one... Let's make sure not to grant protection to unborn human children, but we'll make sure the apes are squared away. Good thinking. I'm quite sure the folks at P.I.T.A. (er, PETA) are dancing in the streets hailing themselves victorious. Woohoo, break out the champagne!



Don't laugh because this is coming...this is Socialism run amok and it's on its way across the pond. Already our not-so-Supreme Court has decided that terrorists should be granted Constitutional rights and protections under habeas corpus, so why not extend the Constitutional provisions to apes?



Next up, monkey marriage...why not?

I figured I would give you your fist comment! Keep up the good work, Cathy always complains when I am lying in bed, watching tv and pissing & moaning about the news, economy and politics.
