Obama Makes Great Adoptable Dog Without Birth Papers Says PETA

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, April 28th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Politicians.

In what may be the most humorous ad released by the group yet, PETA is capitalizing on the controversy of whether or not Obama was born in the United States.

At Donald Trump‘s request, the President released his birth certificate, showing he was born in Hawaii.

PETA took the opportunity to remind people they don’t need papers to certify any dog’s birth and whether or not it’s a purebred or a mutt.

Sarah Palin

The mama of moose meat munching has hired a strict vegetarian to be her right hand man in politics.

Sarah Palin has announced that Michael Glassner will serve as chief of staff, a move some say proves she’s a step closer to declaring herself a 2012 presidential candidate.

From ABC World News:

“Former colleagues describe him as a detail-oriented, fiercely loyal person who “takes great pride in flying under the radar.” They also say he is a “fitness nut” and, along with his wife, a dedicated vegetarian.”

Barack Obama

President Obama has been smoke-free for an entire year!

The First Lady made the announcement to reporters during lunch in the Old Family Dining Room at the White House while discussing her Let’s Move! initiative to get America healthier.

Michelle said it was the president’s desire to be able to look his daughters in the eye and say he didn’t smoke that motivated him.

Vegetarians and vegans who still huff and puff have another reason to kick the habit. Some cigarette filters contain pig’s blood and that definitely ain’t veg!

Dutch researchers discovered that pig hemoglobin is often found in the filters, but not listed specifically as an ingredient. Instead, terms such as “processing aids” are used.

Sarah Palin

She beats fish. Shoots caribou. Likes shooting wolves from the sky. Says “Bambi’s mother is dinner” and that there’s “plenty of room for all of Alaska’s animals” next to the mashed potatoes on her plate.

Man, is Sarah Palin a great inspiration to vegetarians. No, really.

In a post written at vegetarian.about.com, readers were invited to reveal the moment that made them go veg.

Dennis Kucinich Settles Over Olive Pit Induced Tooth Injury

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 28th, 2011 in Food & Drink, Politicians.

Dennis Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich and his people have reached a confidential settlement in the matter of damages sustained after he bit into an olive containing a pit during a visit to the House of Representatives cafeteria for a sandwich.

After reading more about the chain reaction the event set off, it’s easy to see why the vegan politician asked for $150,000 for the incident.

After biting into the olive, Kucinich experienced a split at the bone level of the tooth. The damage wasn’t visible but downright painful! The injured area became infected so he took antibiotics. The antibiotics gave him an intestinal obstruction which required emergency attention. After the bone healed, his first tooth implant failed. Months later, the second implant worked, but he had to have six other teeth realigned in order to make that happen. None of this was covered by insurance.

Dennis Kucinich

It’s nice to have vegetarian or vegan options at the cafeteria at work, but it’s also comforting to know you won’t have to dip into your company health insurance plan to get your mouth fixed after biting into something.

Dennis Kucinich is suing the Congressional Cafeteria (yes THE Congressional Cafeteria) for $150,000 on 4 counts of negligence and breach of warranty because he was served a dangerous sandwich.
