I'm beginning to see some parallels here...

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants Six Flags Great America to scrap its Halloween-themed cockroach-eating promotion.

A spokeswoman for the animal rights organization says the contest at the amusement park's FrightFest is "gratuitously cruel."

The park in Gurnee, Ill., is joining other Six Flags parks in offering unlimited line-jumping privileges to anyone who eats a live Madagascar hissing cockroach. The bugs are up to three inches long.

While the ACLU defends yet more roaches...

Some saying about birds and feathers comes to mind.

And they're protesting the Six Flags in Gurnee, IL (midway between Chicago and Milwaukee) which was originally a Marriott's Great America (with a twin in Santa Clara, CA). Other Six Flags parks are going to run the same promotion....

Me thinks it isn't gratuitously cruel, but gratuitously GROSS!

PETA lost touch with reality long ago. Penn & Teller really nailed them in their series on Showtime.

And more roaches

Last month, Argentine police arrested a top Israeli diplomat carrying a large quantity of explosives at Buenos Aires international airport, according to a report on the Signs of The Times.

Don't worry Leo, this roach gets defended too.

According to airport sources, members of the security unit at the airport clashed with the Kirchner (Argentine President) government, that wanted to release the bomb-laden Israeli diplomat because there was no precedent for this type of arrest.

Why can't you ever find a can of Raid when you need one?

Harold--when was the last time a U.S. embassy was blown to smithereens by a guy in a yamulke?

When was the last time a plane was hijacked with a group of guys with dradles in their pockets?

When was the last time you saw a bunch of guys with lox and bagels, yelling "Allah Akhbar!" while sawing another's head off?

Sorry--your cute attempt at anti-semitic moral equivalence will not wash.

Leo, what are you trying to say?
Is it OK for this diplomat carry explosives onto a plane because he is from Israel?
Is it not possible for an Israeli to be a terrorist?
What was a top Israeli diplomat doing with explosives in an airport?
I know this doesn't fit well into your pro-Israel world, but it's in your face.
Are we after terrorists, or not?
Or are you just against them when they are Islamic?

Come on Leo, explain yourself.

Better yet, explain this:
On 9-11, 5 Israelis are arrested for dancing and cheering while the World Trade Towers collapse.

Ohh c'mon James Harold---you point me to an anti-semite propaganda site???

You can do better than that, can't you?

Then again, probably not.

P.S.--Your tinfoil hat is getting to be a bit on the ratty side... you better replace it.
