QUOTES OF THE DAY

Thanks to The Magnolia Report, an online site which reports on Mississippi politics and politicians, for these quotes that I had to share with you:

"We are writing to request that you declare largemouth bass, the state fish, off limits to fishing. Fish may not be as familiar to us as the cats and dogs who share our homes, but scientific studies prove that fish are just as intelligent.”
A letter from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asking Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour to protect largemouth bass from fishing.

"The governor and the first lady are dining on fried bass tonight. They enjoy fishing. They encourage Mississippians to go fishing more, and they like children to go fishing."
Barbour spokesman John Arledge’s response to the PETA letter.
