Ferret Friday, Part 2
Like I said last week, it’s important to be patient with strangers’ weird obsessions.
I draw the line at ferrets, though. From Virginia Beach (neighboring my hometown):
Authorities removed nearly 200 animals from a Virginia Beach home, including 89 frozen ferret carcasses. Police spokeswoman Margie Long said animal control agents found more than 100 live ferrets …
Animal hoarding of any kind is sad, creepy and cruel. But something about the ferrets add an exponent to the whole production.
In the words of Rudolph Giulani: “This excessive love that you have for ferrets is something that you should examine with a therapist.” This may be the ONLY point that Rudy and I agree upon … take a listen for yourselves. Please try to ignore the egregious spelling and Ron Paul propaganda surrounding this clip — just listen to the audio and try not to spit.
And before you Ron Paul nuts unload on me, try to bear this in mind: just because Ron Paul has a few good ideas and a LOT of support online doesn’t mean that he’s some sort of conquering hero. Internet hype couldn’t fix “Snakes on a Plane”, and it’s not going to turn Paul into a president. Hang it up, people. You guys are two clicks away from compulsive ferret-touching yourselves.

Ron Paul is an idiot. If you were to listen to his ENTIRE platform, you’d be shocked we’re even discussing him as a candidate (e.g., banning public education, dismantling social security, getting rid of income taxes, etc). Still, I hope he runs as an independent so that he siphons even more votes away from John McCain.

(e.g., banning public education, dismantling social security, getting rid of income taxes, etc).
That’s true, banning public education is almost like making it illegal. In fact, education would probably come to an end without BIG GUVMENT.
Social Security. Just another tax – thanks democrats and republicans.
Getting Rid of Income Tax – I’m all for it, as well as the crap it pays for, such as wars overseas, medicare increase, bridges to nowhere. Thanks again Dems and Repubs.
Ron Paul has a ton of other idocyncratic problems but those three are the least of them

I’m not a Ron Paul person, but he’s actually for getting rid of the Department of Education. No money from the DoE goes to public schools — that’s funded by states governments, as far as I know.
Also, RP is very likely a 9/11 Denier. I have a friend who is hardcore into that crap and he’s a HUGE RP fan.
