Oh look at those Obamas once again “doing the right thing” and being decent or whatever. The terrorist cell “PETA” just sent us this email, claiming that “Obama and his wife, Michelle, have announced that they will adopt a rescued dog for their daughters instead of patronizing a pet store or breeder.” Oh la dee dah, President Hopes-a-lot, going to save an innocent puppy (probably a “street organizer” single-parent puppy) from euthanasia while shutting down Joe the Breeder’s puppy mill, HENGHH?

Nothing says “Our Precious Freedoms” like PETA’s annual State of the Union video of a young lady taking about an hour to get naked because she’s saying something about how you are not supposed to waterboard hamsters or eat steak. [PETA]

We aren’t really overwhelmed by the hilarity of this PETA video spoof thing, but “Fruity Giuliani” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Try saying it around the office today! [PETA Road to the Greenhouse]

Mitt Romney is, of course, primarily known for being a Crisis Manager or something. We learned of Mitt’s executive skills earlier this week when the Boston Globe described how he tortured the family dog by driving 12 hours with the hapless animal strapped to the roof of a station wagon. And when Romney’s 17 terrified kids began watched the tortured Irish Setter’s diarrhea stream down the car’s windows, Dad simply pulled over at a gas station, savagely hosed down the shit-covered dog — which was still locked in the cage on the roof — and then merrily hopped back in the driver’s seat and continued the 12-hour drive with the frightened, sick, soaking wet dog shivering in the violent highway wind.

We feel kind of dirty about pimping this, because Americans must protect their precious dog-torturing freedoms, but it’s probably the only opportunity to say “naked girl” and “State of the Union” in the same post. MORE »

Because nothing’s going on in Washington this month, the PETA people chose today to burn a “life sized” effigy of the Col. Sanders cartoon character — the Col. Sanders cartoon character that hasn’t been used by KFC for years, after a brief and embarrassing marketing experiment. MORE »

We like the sneakers.

For those of you in need of a little morning pick-me-up, here are additional photos from yesterday’s “Running of the Nudes,” PETA’s protest against bullfighting.

They’re not quite as exciting as yesterday’s batch, which featured an exposed nipple. And our operative apologizes for the “sub-Ansel-Adams quality” of the images: “From a camera phone, but what can you do?”

But there’s still plenty of exposed flesh for you to ogle. Check ‘em out, after the jump.

A little bitching can go a long way. After we complained about the dearth of photos from this afternoon’s PETA event, one of you kindly sent a few in our direction. Here’s one (click to enlarge):

We take back what we said earlier about the protestors not being that cute!

After the jump, two more photos — including one with an exposed nipple…

Alas, despite our desperate plea for photographic evidence, none of you sent in pictures from PETA’s “Running of the Nudes.” The event, to protest bullfighting, took place in front of the Spanish Embassy earlier this afternoon.

KUTV of Salt Lake City has some video footage. But it’s a bit rough, and you can’t see anyone’s naughty bits. The participants don’t look very hot, unlike past PETA protestors, and their Spanish-language chants are inscrutable. Even the cops look bored.

As for eyewitness accounts, we received one — yes, one — lonely email, from a tipster who wandered past the event. Check it out, after the jump.
