Sarah Palin To PETA: Don’t Be Throwing Snowballs At Me!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, December 25th, 2008 in Politicians.

Vice Presidential Candidate, Governor Sarah Palin, spoke to a huge crowd at the Henderson Pavilion in Henderson, Nevada

Don’t make her call Joe the Plumber!

Remember that Holiday Snowball Throwing game we told you about where you could pelt fur wearing folks for points?

PETA, the organization who created  the game, received a phone call a couple of days ago from someone claiming to be from Governor Palin’s office. The caller demanded PETA take the game down or face a lawsuit.

Governor Palin, an avid hunter and a foe to many animal rights supporters, is just one of the several celebrities making a guest appearance, including fur wearing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

PETA blogged about this incident and used the opportunity to further poke fun at Palin:

“In real life, the moose and other animals Ms. Palin blows to smithereens don’t stand a chance. But, hey, our game is virtual and nonviolent. To be honest, I’m not quite sure why Sarah is so mad about the game anyways. Wielding a gun and decked out in a sexy bikini and pageant ribbon, I’d think she’d be quite proud of how PETA’s portrayed her.”

No, no, no, you just don’t understand, PETA. If you had thrown snowballs at her from airplanes, then she would be proud. But don’t take their word for it. Have a look. Sexy? Yay or Nay?

After a consult with PETA’s legal team, it was determined the game is “protected parody” or “fair game” (no pun intended) and the game is here to stay.

Snowballs away!

Who Would You: Lauren Bush Or Chelsea Clinton

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 in Fashion, Models, Politicians, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Lauren Bush is the niece of George W. If you don’t know who Chelsea’s mom and dad are…you probably haven’t been awake enough during these past years to even vote in our poll. Relations to the right, relations to the left, both know what’s right when it comes to putting vegetarian food on their plates. So who would you…

Something to make you laugh. George H.W. Bush (41st Pres and current Bush’s daddy) once said, “I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.” Speak for yourself, George, but this kitten knows what good! He’s a Purina Animal All-Star who loves his broccoli-and gets a little testy when you try to take it away from him.

Sarah Palin Has No Worries As Tom Turkey Gets Beheaded

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 21st, 2008 in Not So Vegetarian, Politicians, Videos.

Sarah Palin is truly into animal horror shows. From shooting wolves from planes to toting her Real Women Hunt Moose bag, it’s safe to say she won’t be honored by any animal rights groups soon.

Her latest stunt involves giving a media interview live with turkeys being slaughtered in the background. What’s even creepier is when she was asked if that was an appropriate backdrop, she replied, “No worries.”

Meatless Mouthful: Dennis Kucinich Another Non-Judging Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 16th, 2008 in Meatless Mouthful, Politicians.

House Oversight Committee investigates AIG in Washington

“I don’t believe that you can tell anyone what to eat. I think it’s the worst thing in the world to start to tell people—to start to dictate—choices of food. You just can’t do that. But you can show people that if they make choices in a certain way, healthy choices, it might improve the environment. It’s an educational process.”

—-Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), in an interview with VegNews Magazine. The vegan congressman has just earned his seventh consecutive Congressional win this month and boy, has he been busy during his terms.

He’s worked towards food safety, better agricultural practices, and made sure more funds were available to enforce the Animal Welfare Act, among other things.

Like Moby, he thinks you can talk the talk, but not force the walk. Who would’ve thought a suit wearing politician in D.C. and a singer living in New York City’s Little Italy would have so much in common?

Obama’s Got Beef With Beets, Overpriced Arugula

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 14th, 2008 in Food & Drink, Politicians.

Barack Obama Campaigns Throughout Oregon Ahead Of State's Primary

George W. Bush’s father, the first presidential Bush, hated broccoli. Barack Obama dislikes the tastes of beets. It appears the right and the left aren’t too different when it comes to having vegetable pet peeves.

Obama hates beets and makes it a policy to “always avoid eating them.”

Earlier on the campaign trail he shared a similar view with Erykah Badu, mentioning that Whole Foods was an expensive place to buy produce, arugula in particular.

Although good for you, there’s no doubt some vegetables taste so bad you don’t want to touch them with a 10 foot carrot pole. Which vegetables would you make it a policy to abolish from the White House if you were office?

Satirical President Bush Pardoning All Turkeys In 2008

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 14th, 2008 in Politicians, Videos.

“President Bush” tried calling the Butterball turkey hotline but was disappointed when he couldn’t speak to any turkeys. So he called another hotline that told him all sorts of interesting facts about the treatment of turkeys on farms. This made him decide to pardon all turkeys this year, since it is his last year as “the decider.” To learn everything he’s learn, he suggests you get on Al Gore’s internet.

Chelsea Clinton’s Thai-Spiced Sweet Potato Soup With Gingered Bok Choy

Chelsea Clinton Sighting In NYC

President-elect Barack Obama and the fam are packing their things and loading it into the U-Haul for the big move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

OK, maybe they’re not taking the U-Haul, but rather a more fancy presidentialy mover. When they arrive, the Mrs. may be happy she no longer has to do the cooking as White House Chefs take over.

Scheib, the former chef for Bushes and Clintons, published a book White House Chef: Eleven Years, Two Presidents, One Kitchen, last year and it’s filled with recipes he made for the first families, including one of Chelsea Clinton’s favorites, Thai-Spiced Sweet Potato Soup With Gingered Bok Choy.

Chelsea learned to cook vegan while in the White House, receiving a special certificate for her efforts. In addition to the sweet potato soup, the vegetarian Clinton likes grilled onions in the summertime.
