This *IS* my blog.

I work with this woman who insists on boycotting things for the most absurd reasons.

She stopped giving money to public television because they have a Spanish language channel (which I cannot even find). Her logic: she grew up in a heavily Ukrainian neighborhood (though she herself is not Ukraine), and why didn't PBS have a Ukrainian channel?

I didn't have the patience to explain how demographics, supply and demand, and advertising dollars (or in this case donation dollars) work.

Also she hates the AKC (American Kennel Club). For -- this is a direct quote -- "they enforce breed standards". Uh, yes. That is the whole, entire sole purpose of the AKC. She said that there are "many different kinds of Jack Russells' and that the AKC "renamed the Jack Russell the Parson Russell". I said, "oh I thought those were two different breeds? She said, no, they just made it up so they could enforce their rules.

She is a lunatic. She also was surprised when a bear ripped the cover off her bird feeder. The cover was made of that green plastic-coated rabbit wire. That shit will hardly keep my DOG out, much less a bear.
