I’m guessing you’re not famous down at Party headquarters for your sprightly sense of fun.

What is it with some of you people? You have all the charm and wit of a grand jury indictment.

THANKS, **Cowgirl**. I’ll be over in that thread to ogle the pitties and say my piece.

But on-topic: just in case there’s any confusion, the “powerful” Pitbull Anti-Defamation League described in the article linked to by **BrainGlutton** is satire, from a well-known satire site.

Real groups do exist, of course, such as [Pit Bull Rescue Central](http://www.pbrc.net/), the inimitable [BADRAP.org](http://www.badrap.org/rescue/), Diane Jessup’s Working Pit Bull site, and many others. But they have very little political influence – pit bull fans and friends are on the run in many jurisdictions due to breed-specific legislation and popular prejudice.

They are dressing her like a virgin or a nun. It makes me think they got something to hide. Trot her out in a bikini and then we can debate that .

The difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is that a hockey mom can drive better and a pit bull can think better.
