Fight Fire with Sapphire!

Speaking of speciesism, fellow travellers: The appalling Matt Hayden, like so many reich-wingers, has been relishing the Iguanagate scandal. And in this particularly vile post, he suggests a nickname for sassy sister Belinda Neal.

"The Beast." It is as speciesist as it is sexist.

Appalling. Just appalling.   

Fellow travellers, of course you are well aware of my attitude to immigration. I am very much for the increased intake of non-animal creatures -- particularly from the Middle East. However, I have recently become aware of a case that forces me to reconsider this position.

I speak, of course, of the threat posed by a certain breed of feline. Due to their potential to disrupt delicate Australian ecosystems, it is imperative that none of these hybrid "supercats" (and what an appallingly elitist term that is!) should be let into the country.

Certainly, they are non-human persons with rights. And I feel for them, I really do! But it is my considered opinion that the rights of local citizens take precedence in this case. 

If you think I am being speciesist, so be it.

Not that I'm surprised, fellow travellers, but the tiresome Matt Hayden has taken offence at my latest post.

Must I clarify? (Sigh.) Herr Hayden, I was being tongue-in-cheek.

I find it very sad that he couldn't see that, especially since he describes his own blog as "sit-down comedy".

Where's your sense of humor, Matt? 

While appalling reich-wingers like Matt Hayden claim that karma doesn't exist, we know that it does, don't we fellow travellers?

Ms Universe will always keep the cosmic scales of justice balanced (but not in, like, a rational way). Take, for instance, the appalling spiritual toxicity produced by Hollywood for many, many years. This makes Ms Universe mad as hell and she's not gonna take it anymore! And so She has decided to do something about it. She has asked her significant other Sister Nature to strike a mighty blow to the heart of that appalling nightmare factory.

And here it is: a massive fire at Universal Studios.

Empoweringly, Sister Nature has added Her own touch to this sassy statement. You see, She has chosen to burn down the huge mechanical model of King Kong.

This was an appallingly speciesist film (and sexist -- why wasn't there a Queen Kong?) which has caused great distress to our simian sisters (and brothers) over many decades. To know that a relic from it is now a pile of ash is heartening to all those who believe in justice.

Smokin'!
