I am owned by a purebred Siberian Husky. She would run all day if I could keep up with her. PETA is clueless as usual, these dogs LIVE to run.

That figures.

The TSA a government agency that pokes, prods, molests and violates Americans Constitutional Rights would want to recruit employees at the I-Killed-a-Dog Race.

“gets worse. obama is letting them unionize.”

Looking at the numbers of how many dogs have been killed during the event, I can see why the dogs would want to form a union.

The TSA droped out when they learned the event is the Iditarod not as the thought the Idiotarod.

"Their paws become bruised and bloodied and are cut by the ice, and many incur stress fractures or become sick with intestinal viruses," she wrote. "The dogs often die of hypothermia, pneumonia, gastric ulcers, and 'sled dog myopathy' — literally being run to death."

Yeah, sure. that's why vets are at every stop and check all the dogs, dogs are flown in and out as needed, mandatory rest stops, etc, etc.

Bite me, PETA

TSA is designed to abuse and humiliate humans, and to protect the rights of sled dogs. Didn’t you get the memo?

You are right. Folks are fed up with the bullying and whining of the PUBLIC SECTOR!

Here's a little something I use to make their eyes glaze over.

Public employees do not pay any taxes, period! None. Their pay check is generated from taxes collected from productive citizens. Any 'taxes' they 'pay' is merely smoke and mirrors; the same government that collects taxes is simply holding back money from them to create the illusion of taxes.

Some of them get it, most don't. But it really gets their little minds reeling.

I don’t think anyone wants that TSA bunch groping their huskies anyway. This is probably a good thing.

They were going to pay the Iditarod org $ to advertise to help fill positions at Alaska airports.

Has nothing to do with Homeland Security.

It’s tough finding people who want to live in the middle of nowhere, living on the bush economy for 15 bux an hour.

I agree. The bitch-slapping is not over for the Dems. Wait until 2012. It’ll be a real sea change. I say, keep it coming.
