RSSPunxsutawney Phil Responds to PETA & Robotic Groundhog … “From My Cold Dead Hands”
It is hard to take PETA serious when they do the following … replace Punxsutawney Phil with a robot ground hog!!!
PETA once again is trying and succeeding in garnering attention to their cause by this time trying to save Punxsutawney Phil, the seer of seers, the prognosticators of prognosticators from his life of luxury. Punxsutawney Phil, cruelty of animals? This ground hog is treated better than most people in the United States.

In an interview with Punxsutawney Phil he exclusively
told Scared Monkeys with regards to PETA wanting him
replaced by a robot Ground Hog … “From my Cold Dead Hands”
Get this PETA wants Phil replaced with an automated robo-ground hog. Good grief, are they serious? They sent a letter too, read HERE, try to keep from laughing.
The animal rights group PETA says Punxsutawney Phil is being badly treated by the crowds and noise at the annual Groundhog Day festival on Feb. 2 and should be replaced with a robotic groundhog .
Gemma Vaughan, Animals in Entertainment specialist for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said in a letter to organizers of the annual spectacle in Punxsutawney, PA, that groundhogs, which are normally shy and spend much of their time in burrows, “become stressed when they are exposed to large, screaming crowds; flashing lights from perhaps hundreds of cameras; and human handling.”
Word of advice to PETA, stick to going after the Michael Vick’s of the world and stay away from our American past times and holidays.
Martin Luther King, Jr … MLK Day 2010 … “I Have a Dream”
On this day and every day for that matter, let every one needs to remember and reflect on the words of the slain Civil Rights activists, “… where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” People of all colors need to take a good look at these words and find and inner peace and interpretation to what Martin Luther King, Jr intended.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
The dream is much more than a political take over of healthcare. Do not ever confuse the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights movement to a political take over of health care … you do nothing but cheapen Civil Rights and what Marting Luther King Jr. lived and died for.

Oops She Did It Again … Kathy Griffin Drops “F” Bomb on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Broadcast, AGAIN!
Forget the D-list Kathy Griffin, you just permanently made the “F” List …
When I first saw this story I thought there was an erroneous publishing of a story that took place last year when comedian Kathy Griffin dropped the “F” bomb on CNN’s New Years Eve live broadcast.
Nope, oops she did it again. For the second year in a row, Kathy Griffin drops the “F” bomb live on CNN’s New Years broadcast. CNN must be so proud. Other networks like ABC have Dick Clark as their annualy vision of what it means to ring in the New year, CNN has a vulgar, potty mouthed comedian dropping the “F” bomb. Classy!
For the second straight year, comedian Kathy Griffin ushered in the new year by saying something vulgar on CNN.
During the network’s live New Year’s Eve broadcast from Times Square, Griffin was joking with co-host Anderson Cooper about how to pronounce the first name of “balloon boy” Falcon Heene when she mumbled something that sounded a little like “Falcon” and a lot like the F-word.
Cooper hung his head, shook it and said “You’re terrible,” before resuming his banter.
The network said in a statement Friday that it “regrets that profanity was used during our New Year’s Eve coverage.”
“Fal … Fu–ing? Falcon? How do you say it?” Griffin asked Cooper during the broadcast, fumbling the boy’s name.
The chuckling anchor’s response? “You’re terrible,” he told Griffin, who was warned not to curse on TV. “Really terrible.”
CNN, stop completely embarrassing yourself and remove this nit-wit from the New Years broadcast. Once is bad enough, twice! Have some respect for your network and can her.
Happy New Year 2010 … Wishing All a Happy, Safe and Joyous New Year
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 FROM SCARED MONKEYS
Wishing every one a Happy, Safe and Joyous 2010. We thought we would look back over the years and remember those that have brought us into so many new years. As we ring out the old and herald in the new, I can honesty say that Guy Lombardo and Dick Clark were there for pretty much every New Years celebration.
Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians ushered in so many New Years back in the day
Dick Clark has been a NYC Time Square institution
What would New Year be like without the 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade. This years Rose Parade Grand Marshal is the Hero of the Hudson, Captain Chesley Sullenberger III.
I want to thank all the readers, listeners and commenters of Scared Monkeys.com, Scared Monkeys.net, MissingExploited.com, Scared Monkeys Radio and Blink on Crime. You have all made it a very truly memorable year.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
And here’s a hand, my trusty friend
And gie’s a hand o’ thine
We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
HAPPY 2010!!!
