Patriotism never tasted so good

If there’s one thing Australia takes seriously, it’s alcohol consumption food. There, things like Vegemite, and as we understand it, babies, are considered delicacies.

But Australia has limits, and brother, you can’t just go and make emu and kangaroo flavored chips (they don’t mean “fries” do they?) and sell them all willy-nilly. No sir.

Many are critical of the new chips because the two animals appear on the coat of arms of Australia and are iconic animals that shouldn’t be treated like that. Think of it as selling bald eagle flavored chips in America. Others complain that it sends the message that it’s OK to kill emus and kangaroos.

Well, isn’t it? Aside from having ridiculous names, they are animals, and that’s two reasons they should be hunted down. It’s either them or us.

Law enforcement, Mississippi style

This are different is Mississippi. While the police there have to deal with crime, proverty and the ravages of scurvy, they also have to deal with emus.

Apparently, emus run wild in the state, and harass drivers on Interstate 20. Well, they did anyway. Police took down one emu in Scott County who refused to get off the roadway. The emu was so stubborn that it had to be shocked with a Taser and handcuffed.

The emu was then “taken in for questioning.” Yeah, questioned by a nightstick.
