PETA Cannot Be Pleased

I believe I saw more dead animals on the Mall this weekend than on all the berms of lonely Midwestern county roads in all my life. It's not that I have a problem with wearing furs. I just found it a bit . . . ironic, given the special interests gaining influence in Washington.






































































Just a little FYI: These are not all women.

    Not to call into question the evidence of your own eyes but are you sure they are not fake furs? I mean really how can you tell?

    Hard to say. I identified some obvious fakes and didn't take photos. But I wouldn't claim inerrancy.

    Yeah, the fact that these were not all women was quite disturbing. While walking to the Capitol my mom and i noticed a man in a long fur coat and his wife standing next to him in a leather jacket. We both looked at each other and said "something is very wrong here."

    And Ben, you're right, PETA is not pleased. (The Democratic base has always been a fragile coalition.) But i sincerely doubt the PETA folks had the audacity to throw fake blood on a black woman wearing a fur coat--especially on this past Tuesday. That could have gotten very ugly...
