"53 people fall for some tom-foolery? Very unlikely, especially in the ranks of Glenn Beck's followers..."
Actually, it's very likely.
The ranks of Glenn Beck followers aren't renowned for their analytical skills.


/facepalm.

next time, i'll be sure to purchase a sarc mark.

wow. my mouth is all up on on the floor after that.

i'm back.... been lurking for a loooong time.. after posting on a regular name

I saw him at Thurston Moore's show at Red 7 too >.> he was giving some 18 year old kid his phone number - I'd say it's safe to say he's a really down to earth guy.

I was skeptical going in, but I was sold with Zach Galifiankais as snowjob and Henry Rollins as duke.

So, to join on the dead horse of an argument...

Yeah, I used to be of the opinion that Pit Bulls were "misunderstood" and hated on for no reason - it's the owner not the breed, right?

Well, then my basset hound got attacked by one. This wasn't a situation where my hound provoked anything, mind you - she was hiding under a chair. Next thing I know the pit's mouth is around her neck. I was punching this dog in the face and in the stomach as hard as I could and it would not let go. Luckily hounds have loose skin and after about 8 minutes or so the pit let go because it couldn't breathe after we covered its nostrils.

Was the pit mistreated when it was raised? Yes - the guy was a complete douche and bragged about keeping a bat around to deal with it (he also ran out on most of the medical costs for our dog).

But what if the guy had a miniature schnauzer instead? It wouldn't have ended up the way our situation did. It would still be unfortunate that the dog was mistreated and the guy deserved to have the bat taken to his head, but my dog wouldn't have been almost ripped to shreds.

Another thing that needs to be considered about pits is that they may be perfectly cool around humans or even most dogs, but you put them in a room with another dog that triggers something and they can snap.

Ban pits.
