quote of the day, or, animal metaphors gone terribly, terribly wrong

“I actually support micro-chipping them. I can micro-chip my dog so I can find it. Why can’t I micro-chip an illegal?"
(Pat Bertroche, GOP candidate for the 3rd District, Iowa)

Between this creep and this other creep, the GOP is a little too preoccupied these days with animals for my taste.
