So you think you got it bad with noisy neighbors? In South LA, the roosters, goats, chickens and pigs are taking over. According to this article in the LA Times, barnyard animals are becoming the norm south of the 10 Freeway.

While it’s not entirely legal… well, it’s not legal at all, this neighborhood, which used to be predominately African American, has now transformed into a rich composite of immigrant Latin American people, many from Mexico, where having roosters, geese and the occasional goat in the backyard is the norm. Animal Control officials say they don’t have the manpower to stop it, and don’t investigate, unless there’s a complaint. Hmm….. recession…. people gotta eat…. chicken in every pot… makes sense.

UPDATE: Keith Olberman is now calling on a national boycott of Dunkin’ Donuts.

It’s now official: the bigots have taken over America. The most recent sign of this comes from Dunkin’ Donuts, who pulled a recent ad featuring Rachael Ray because of her fashion.

Low riding shorts showing her coin slot? Salciously exposing her cleavage? Nope. Her scarf offended right wingers.

Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin complained that the scarf wrapped around her looked like a kaffiyeh, the traditional Arab headdress. ”The kaffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,” Malkin wrote in her syndicated column.

Wow. I guess I must be clueless. I didn’t know that the right to free expression excluded fashion choices including ugly scarves.

And I thought it was conservatives who were always complaining about the US becoming too PC?

Alas, I’m calling on all of Los Angeles to boycott Dunkin’ Donuts. Take a stand, people!
