I suspect that many readers of DV agree more with the humor of Brasch than than the alleged 'Ivy-educated attorney.' In fact, I can't help but wonder if our attorney friend actually learned anything at his 'ivy' school or was just filling some poor-boy quota? I went to a down-at-the-heel cow college and got a pretty fair education ... though as I will admit, I haven't done much with it either in terms of supporting the empire or attempting to defeat it. But I can spot tell the difference from exposing irony and being dead-on serious. Seems to me the person needing the life isn't Brasch ... but maybe Smiff. Humor is in the eye of the beholder.

The column was NOT an attack upon meat eaters. (I happen to be one.) It looked at the hypocrisy of Palin, her words being a friend to all creatures, and for staging a political inmterview in front of a scene that upstaged her, showing her naiivite and ineptness. The column also looks at Palin trying for yet more media attention by the pardon of a turkey, something that used to be reserved for the President. OK, time for Reading Comprehension 1o1.

They don't eat just any turkey or meat at the White House/ only $150.00 Kobe beef (organic from Japan). As for mentally challenged Sarah - ( an example of our impoverished school system) I do not want to have a beer with her - she's not just like me - and I don't eat meat, let alone having Moose as my favorite meal. I grew up in hunting country - I cannot envision any REAL hunters using a prop plane, and chasing down wolves (killing cubs in their dens) bear, deer, moose, and caribou to the point of exhaustion - then jumping out (with your trophy hunting friends) and KILLING them. They belong in Alaska / its Sarah and her oil company friends who are the intruders. I dream of a hell where the likes of these animal killers (for sport) are chased for eternity by animals , trampled (never to death) and then chased some more. Cheney can be the first one out of the gate/ him and his elitist friends who CAGE animals in preserves and KILL them.

I was a poor boy in the South before becoming a fancy Ivy-educated attorney, and I saw chickens slaughtered. Because I am not a despised female Republican, I could probably get away with being on camera at an animal farm. We consume violence on television and in movie theatres daily. Obama supports the DC handgun ruling, written by the conservatives on the Supreme Court. That's more insensitive to me than watching a turkey get prepared for Thursday dinner! By the way - I'll be brining mine in apple cider. How insensitive! If you eat turkey Thursday, that is insensitive by your standards.

There are a lot of farmers and migrant workers who see this every day. This country consumes more meat and poultry than most in the world. They were all slaughtered. I guess hiding it makes it better. Argh. Oh, grow up. There are a lot of farmers and migrant workers who see this every day. This country consumes more meat and poultry than most in the world.
