Animal Planet

The world is an ugly place. And we are not talking about pollution in the Yangtze River....

Laurie David and Sheryl Crow took no prisoners on their recent tour of America. Shades of Zeppelin’s ‘77 Tour...this was an all out assault on the senses.

I will let the girls give their side of the story from an altercation Saturday night…

We asked Mr. Rove if he would consider taking a fresh look at the science of global warming. Much to our dismay, he immediately got combative. And it went downhill from there.

We reminded the senior White House advisor that the US leads the world in global warming pollution and we are doing the least about it. Anger flaring, Mr. Rove immediately regurgitated the official Administration position on global warming which is that the US spends more on researching the causes than any other country.

Tempers were flaring all around.  And then Sheryl crossed the line. Oops.

In his attempt to dismiss us, Mr. Rove turned to head toward his table, but as soon as he did so, Sheryl reached out to touch his arm. Karl swung around and spat, “Don’t touch me.” How hardened and removed from reality must a person be to refuse to be touched by Sheryl Crow? Unfazed, Sheryl abruptly responded, “You can’t speak to us like that, you work for us.” Karl then quipped, “I don’t work for you, I work for the American people.” To which Sheryl promptly reminded him, “We are the American people.”

But if you think that takes the cake go read footnoted.org’s round up on Schering-Plough’s security budget. Protecting its executives from PETA activists costs big bucks...CEO Fred Hassan dropped a cool 300k the past two years protecting himself from “threats of personal harm from animal rights activists”.

This is all getting a bit crazy. I am not sure who the good guys are any longer. Watching my screen flicker seems to be the path of least resistance.

And for those of you who dare take the other side of my trades?

See you in hell
