Don't forget that for all his meatheadedness, Levi still holds the key to the Secret of The Baby Trig. I'm sure Graydon would want to be the one to break that--or any myriad of Crazy Palin stories--when/if it'll get him the most publicity.

Seriously, though, assuming that they're the two people profiled in the GQ piece on him, one is his lawyer/publicist, and the other is a private investigator who works with the lawyer, who has taken on the odd job of being both a body guard and making him more "media friendly" (which frankly means dressing him nicely and teaching him to be comfortable around gay people).

If I don't get my monkeys smoking vids I am going to be pissed.

"The Ad Council joins Subaru, Honda, Keds, PUMA, Movietickets.com, Yahoo!, SEGA, and other companies that have also pledged not to use great apes in ads. As a token of its appreciation, PETA has sent Ad Council staff members a package of primate-shaped vegan chocolates."
Gee, there's motivation for you. Vegan chocolate monkeys. Fucking. Yay.

On a related note: do you think aliens will shun vegans when our Time is Up?

A dog doesn't know that it's alive or dead, or what the concept of life means. They know what pain and suffering are, and if that animal cannot be guaranteed a good home then sometimes the best alternative is euthanizing it. The numbers are staggering how many animals there are to be placed each year. If you work on the "front lines" you know this.
A lot of rescue groups are now infiltrating the shelters and it's overall a very positive thing but some of these people are spending thousands of dollars to keep alive dangerous and/or sick animals because they are so horrified at the concept of death. It becomes ridiculous.
Perhaps PETA does some dubious things but euthanizing is a necessity.

PETA's methods may be wacky sometimes but I believe they care profoundly about animals.

I also love animals and my partner has worked in one form or another with animals since her first job at 16. We support SPCA, WWF, and plenty of other ethical animal/wildlife organizations. PETA has become the extremist animal rights organization. They present misinformation or half information as fact (red meat causes Alz disease, not proven), they've given children cups of blood as they exited KFC. I have no patience or respect for PETA.

Cups of blood may be inappropriate and extreme (I would never go about activism that way)...yet, we think nothing of buying our children hamburgers and chicken legs from E-coli infested torture chambers.
If factory farming is allowed to persist the way it has, you can bet that the E-coli scares will be much more frequent and serious.

But Prop 2 passed in CA, which PETA probably had a large hand in, and that's good, right?

There are things PETA does I'm sure that I don't agree with, but I will support them because I think they do good work.
I worked at a no-kill shelter some years ago and the pitties/sometimes pittie mixes sat for years; in pens for years. Some had been terribly abused. In my opinion some were loaded weapons. I don't know what the answer is. You need to cast a very big net to get even the smallest things done so if breed discrimination is what they believe in there must be a good reason for it. I'm not going to "tit for tat" them. I believe they are a good group, overall.
