The American Spectator

All because of corporate greed.

American Prospect

On the intellectual pages of a favorite magazine of “Liberal Intelligence” two psychopaths take off and no one even notices, save for the highly trained editors of   The American Spectator:

DIALOGUE: Animal Instincts

Should zoos inspire liberal guilt or give us warm fuzzies?

Phoebe Connelly: While there are many fun things to do in D.C. in the summer-drinking, biking, drinking-let’s talk about one thing that’s not fun!

Alexandria Gutierrez: Sweating because of this freaking humidity?

Phoebe: Going to the zoo.

Alexandra: Sacrilege. Have you never eaten Dippin’ Dots while watching baby pygmy hippos frolic? It is, quite simply, the best. Also, watching the gibbons canoodle? Ultimate fifth date.

Phoebe: Ugh. No. Let’s start with the fact that I’m not a “cute animal pictures” person.

Alexandra: Yeah right! On more than one occasion you have sent me photos of clouded leopard cubs. The ones with the big blue eyes that makes you go “AWWW!”

Phoebe: OK, fine. Out me. But what’s remotely fun about looking at creatures in cages.

[It goes on but you get the drift.]
