At present [this story about Michael Vick pleading guilty][1], which we already knew he was going to do, is placed higher on cnn.com than [the resignation of Alberto Gonzales][2].

rfj writes eloquently about Michael Vick, animal cruelty, vegetarianism, and the idiocy of PETA. We ate in a Japanese restaurant recently at a table with some random people. I told the cook I didn’t eat meat, but did eat eggs. One of the other diners was like the people Gabe describes. She asked why I ate eggs when they come from the chicken, but I wouldn’t eat the chicken. I replied rather tersely without thinking, “because you don’t have to kill the chicken to get the egg out.” I don’t actually claim to be a vegetarian because I think it’s wrong to kill animals. In fact, I think that’s a naive view of nature. Still, I at times have to bite my tongue when it tries to remind people that killing dogs for fun and shooting deer for fun isn’t much different.
