Billmon:
Kidding aside, though, it’s stories like these that make me wonder: How much longer can this corrupt, idiotic excuse for a republic keep stumbling along on sheer inertia?

WB: Horsing Around

Let all true Americans not forget that horsemeat is considered a delicacy in France. The barbarians!!!
But for that, British censors regularly delete scenes from films that show any sort of brutality to horses.

In Belgium, homeland of the french fry, horse fat is also considered the very best for making pommes frites, better even than tallow.

Catlady,
Actually, my Kazakh friends are mad that you can’t get horse here in the US. One can only slaughter for export and pet food. They (some are doctors) claim horse milk cures at least 63 diseases. I didn’t ask for the list.

Four hours. It didn’t take the Senate that long to defeat the bill to ban cluster bombs, did it?
Being the praeternaturally exceptional and superior humans we Americans are, we naturally reflect St Francis, and other pantheists of his calibre, and their love for animals.
The humans, and other animals, beneath our cluster bombs, allied with Beelzebub as they are, gotta take what’s comin’ to ’em.
Tough, but that’s just the way it is. We’ve been appointed by god to deliver his divine strike upon strike, after all.

You asked a good question. It’s like that final scene from Planet of the Apes when Charleston Heston happens onto the collapsed Statue of Liberty. Only it won’t be nuclear war; it’ll be the decline of America presided over by corrupt politicians and accelerated by Republican control of the government. Sure, people will FINALLY wise up, even the lapdog media may FINALLY get it. But it will be too late folks. We’ll be fucked. And there won’t be anything anyone can do about it.
