Cockfighting = Dickheads
In an effort to help limit the possible spread of avian flu from poultry, a bill was introduced in the US house to increase the penalties for transporting cockfighting birds across state lines or from foreign countries. The bill is really intended to target chickens from Southeast Asia where the birds are suspected of transmitting the disease to humans.
Sounds like a sensible precaution. Well it's not to our mighty and brainy warriors in the US House like James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), who, calling upon his vast qualifications in controlling massive pandemics, stated thru a spokesman, “That's a bit of a stretch to say that the animal fighting bill should be an important part of any avian flu efforts”.
Leaves one breathless doesn't it?
