PETA v. Obama

Did you hear about PETA's reaction to President Obama killing a fly that landed on his hand during an interview? (If not, see link, reference below, or key in "PETA, Obama, fly" into Google.)

The media of course is all over this story while investigative journalism, covering policy changes that affect the future of humankind, and informing the citizens of this country about life changing events go to "page 2". No the media would rather cover swatting flies and unfunny jokes that Letterman told.

Meanwhile, the next thing you know we'll be reading headlines or watching news reports of PETA trying to sue Obama (and other human fly swatters) for killing these six-legged sensate beings. I'm willing to pick up spiders found indoors and place them safely outside, but I draw the line at disease carrying insects such as flies, mosquitoes, and deer ticks (or poisonous arachnids for that matter). Or worse yet PETA can put a referendum on the California ballot that makes killing flies murder punishable by lethal injection.

Message to PETA: find important worthwhile causes to espouse such as slowing down global warming, solving world hunger, curing cancer, etc. or the only thing left on Earth will be the insects.
