Signs that read “Hands off Libya” and “Stop the bombing” were held high outside the federal building in downtown St. Louis Monday because 10 people really don’t want the US picking on Libya…but not quite enough to get on a plane and protest in front of a building that actually has anything to do with US bombing Libya.

“Africa can and must handles its own affairs,” [Organizer Zaki Baruti] said, “Stop the bombing and military intervention in Libya and Africa.”

The group is calling on the United States to honor the wishes of the African Union, which was seeking a peaceful end to the crisis when the U-S led military intervention was unleashed.

“Um…sure. Ok…cool.” said the random guy that works in the federal building in downtown St. Louis. He told the protesters he’d write their complaints down and put them in his boss’ suggestion box, but he’s pretty sure it will lose after everyone hears Ramone’s idea for “Taco Tuesdays”.

Everyone’s favorite animal rights group PETA was in full force in St. Louis today protesting the St. Louis Children’s Hospital for something. Someone probably put the wrong color lipstick on a test monkey or something…

The animal rights organization PETA held a protest today against St. Louis Children’s Hospital for its use of live cats in a pediatric emergency training course.

The hospital’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sessions Cole, says the cats are a critical part of the training. “Even the most sophisticated manikin can’t really duplicate the anatomy and the reflexes and the movements that are provided by a live animal like a cat.”

Woah wait…cats?! Little kitties are being anesthetized and then used as practice dummies for interns to practice intubation on? Dude, not cool. How could you do that to a little kitty? Graphically punching them? Sure…but not that!

Frankly it would be different if it wasn’t students working over the cats. If people are going to be rounding up some heavy drugs and finishing by shoving stuff in to their kitty, you should have a professional doing that, like Paris Hilton, not some “trainee”!

We know how cats feel. Check out our file photo:

Now if you’ll excuse us, we need to go lay in the sun.

Get ready recently widowed women who’s husbands were in the business of something we don’t like! You are one boring Saturday with us having posterboard and markers laying around from us getting in your face! Missouri has re-legalized funeral protests.

U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan ruled the laws violate the right of free speech guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

Gaitan concluded Missouri officials did not demonstrate the protest restrictions served a significant government interest nor that they had been narrowly tailored to prevent the harm of interruptions of funeral services. The judge wrote he was sympathetic to the argument people attending a funeral deserve some protection but noted a federal appeals court already had previously rejected that argument.

Why would we have this rule and why is this even newsworthy that the previous law has been overturned? That would be the lovely people of that same church the protested the St. Louis Lady Gaga concert. (See Some Dumbass Church Will Be on a St. Louis Hate Speech Tour This Weekend and Bigots Picketing Lady Gaga at Scottrade Center)

[Missouri Attorney General] Koster also plans to appeal Gaitan’s latest ruling, said spokeswoman Nanci Gonder.

Isn’t that something you just that have to say when you lose a legal case? “We’re going to appeal! All the way to the supreme court if we have to!” It seems to be said every time without fail. No one ever just says “Well shit. Whatever!” or “Eh. They were right anyway.” but it sure would be refreshing.

Of course, baring any un-written lawyer rules, “Eh. They were right anyway.” is what Koster should have said. Yes, protesting a funeral, especially because they were simply gay rather than a serial molester or Nazi, is messed up, but free speech is both good and bad. You gotta have both.

The move here is pass a law that says anyone protesting funeral can’t press charges for physical non-weapon related violence on the funeral grounds.

While you’re at it, add a rider on there to pass a law that says ass-less pants are cool at Walmart. You can’t sell jeans and scissors and not expect that kind of thing!

You can really tell all the good work they are doing across the street behind their little fence. Look at all the people listening and giving a crap. Powerful stuff.

Now where did my ink well and quill go? Ah! Here it is…

Dear @meganphelps,

Why are you so angry? No one is making you like Lady Gaga or lick poontang. Chill out! Its really not hurting anyone. Wait. Is it because you look like you have Downs Syndrome, have horse teeth and a witchy nose?

Gotta be. Ok, that solves that mystery.

Just a tip though, I wouldn’t just burn that homosexual bridge just yet. You’re still pretty young and don’t yet realize that there’s a healthy chance no one will ever want to tap that ugly all-forehead with pubic hair growing out the top of it head of yours. Keeping that “maybe someone in the other half the species will bang me” option open might look pretty damn good in 20 or 30 years.

Just sayin.

- Your friends at Punching Kitty!

The socially retarded hate “church” that runs the site godhatesfags.com (no, they don’t get a link) will be in town Saturday, July 17th, to put up stupid signs and march around so everyone will look at them.

Here are snippets of their pubic itinerary:

2:00p – 2:30p @ Staenberg Family JCC

You know how to read? Open a paper, or any website news page. I mean do you know that Egypt has made a law that any Egyptian man married to a Jewess shall lose their citizenship? Hello?! [...] You all have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not see what is happening on the national stage.

You would have to be lying to yourself if you don’t realize that if there are more than 60 people in your little protest group, that at least 2-4 of  you are actually gay. Stats don’t lie, just old white guys that hide their feelings until they have a few beers in them and the bus boy at the local Ponderosa walks by a little too close.

6:15p – 7:00p @ Busch Stadium

Since you media types like to know precisely why WBC pickets at different locations; how does this work for you?: Missouri passed laws to stop the preaching of WBC, and each of you is individually guilty of that great sin.

Pfft. Oh yeah, like you’re the first person to tell us we are going to hell. Is that what you are saying? It sure sounds like you are saying we are going to end our life in a overly warm place with lots of grouchy mean people in it…like Florida, but not real. We can live with that.

7:10p – 8:00p @ Scotttrade Center (Lady GaGa concert)

Now what type of wicked hypocrites would we be if we did not warn this little false prophetess and all of her over-indulged sycophants that they are each one, individually heading straight to hell in a gender-confused, self-loathing, tone-deaf hand basket and that a gift from the God they hate? So, we made a couple of songs just for this event. You like Gaga’s songs? Here’s some lines from two of WBC’s parodies of them: Poker face, revamped as No Poker Face: “You wanna strut like you’re unique, but baby please “Monster,” “Lady GayGay,” “Show your teeth,” “This is all me.” (God hates you)

If you think a woman that walks around wearing stuff like above is going to be hurt when you call her “Lady GayGay” you got another thing coming. Plus “Lady GayGay” is so weak. Other hate groups are bullying on a 7th grade level, you guys are still stuck on calling people the equivalent of  ”doodie heads”.

Hey perverted priests! These are the people you should be raping.
