Jeff over at A Little More to The Right has a post about PETA's latest spokesman. Mr. Mfume (NAACP president) wants to speak out against the cruel methods of dispatching the chickens that later end up in your bucket of KFC.
Mr. Mfume apparently stated that he isn't speaking out because there is a civil rights issue involved; merely he wanted to help highlight the inhumane killing.
(You don't think there's a white meat/dark meat issue somewhere under the surface, do you?)

Posted by: EO at September 13, 2003 05:15 AMI have no idea. I've never heard of "Comment Spam" before.
Where is Mr. Delete Key?
Cathy, there is a BlogIran campaign going on (http://www.activistchat.com/blogiran/ via Emperor Misha), but whoever decided to SPAM your comments should be horse-whipped - severely.
