15. Hospital spokesman Dr. Julius Hibbert said "A routine soul smear tested positive for pure evil."
Further tests are underway to confirm presence of a previously undetected soul.
LeftyMom has been on my 2008 nomination radar for quite a while and this post on another thread reminded me again. She's completely my polar opposite...the only thing we have in common is homeschooling...I've met very liberal homeschoolers before...my guess she's a radical unschooler. She's a pretty militant vegan (living on a farm with a variety of meat products walking around, I couldn't imagine letting all these delicious protein resources go to waste). Don't despair I was careful to make sure I thanked God and Norman the (previously frozen) Narragansett turkey who gave his life a couple of months ago so that I could enjoy a tasty dinner.
Still, LeftyMom does work, go to school and homeschool so she doesn't have the usual DUmmie issues that keep her from being a productive member of society. She seems overly concerned about gay issues for someone who thinks Joaquin Phoenix is a hunk, but she does live in CA where GLBT issues reign supreme.
The one thing that galls me is her obsessing over animal rights while not thinking twice about making comments like the one above. This compartmentalized compassion of the left is worthy of a sociological study. I mean, when it comes to animals, I'm a complete bleeding heart. I feed the squirrels and birds. I have dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, geese, ducks, and even chickens who are pets and will live out their entire natural lives here. They all live alongside and roam with those who are "livestock". Sophie Clucker may be the coolest chicken on the planet, but no matter how many times she enthusiastically runs to me and demands to be picked up, she's still going to spend her life outside with Gumbo, the Tublettes and other assorted food.
The whole vegan thing I don't get, especially when you have kids. Milk, cheese, and (especially eggs...the world's most perfect protein) are some of the best sources of protein for growing bodies to be found. It also shows a complete lack of brains on her part...it's one thing to not eat something because you don't like it and another to do it for a principle that doesn't even matter to the damned species you're trying to "save".
You'd think, being pro-choice, she'd side with the chickens. I mean, they have abortions every day...they lay their egg, get out of the nesting box, squawk a little to let the others know what she's done, and goes on about her merry way. Even my broody hens will only set at certain times of the year. So I wonder what people like LeftyMom would suggest we do with the eggs the hens won't set on (even if said hen could be convinced to set year round not all eggs will be fertile so they can't even qualify as chicken abortions). She won't eat eggs "on principle" yet she's perfectly willing to suck a human egg out of it's womb and let it die "on principle". And LefyMom is completely oblivious to the hypocrisy. Why am I not surprised?
