Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for September 06, 2011

A cruel lesson in speciesism and discrimination that Spot, though only a puppy, will never forget.

“One day”, he vows, "my puppies’ grandpuppies will walk free on all the beaches in the land.

We shall overcome."

Susan: With their own restroom facilities.

I was thinking, “What, no pooper-scoopers?” then realized that it really is just one big litter box. That’ll take the heat off of cleaning up after the hippo or giraffe!

The skunk, on the other hand, has different issues… sort of like a fat man with a cigar.

Le-roy: The Brown v. Board decision applies only to situations in which separate implies or de facto is unequal. It never has applied to restroom facilities.

I found it odd when Phyllis Shafley went flying all over the country to claim the Equal Rights Amendment would require unisex restrooms and force women to leave their children to go to work, the corporate media never pointed out that she left her children at home to do so, and ever since they put a bucket with a toilet seat in the baggage compartment of a deHavilland DH-9 in 1919, all airliners have had unisex restroom facilities.

I want to ferret out the rat who posted that sign—and I’d be lion if I said I wasn’t mad as a wet skunk.

Aardvark?
