New PETA Billboard Ad Campaign Refers to Overweight Women as "Whales" - Video 8/20/09


Here is video from Fox & Friends this morning where they discussed a new offensive PETA billboard ad campaign that refers to women as "Whales" who are overweight. The ad seeks to push people to become vegetarians to "Save the Whales - Lose the Blubber," referring to people who are overweight. The billboards show images of women who have extra pounds. A PETA spokesman defends the ads, but a dietician said the ads are degrading an humiliating to both overweight and thin people alike. She also said studies show being vegetarian is no better for weight loss than a diet with meat that is balanced.

2012 Possible GOP Contenders: Power Rankings

Here is a list of possible GOP Contenders for the 2012 Republican Nomination for President. They are listed in “Power Ranked” order based on our subjective analysis of how strong the candidates would be should they decide to seek the nomination. The rankings are NOT based on how strong the candidates would be in winning in a General Election against President Obama. The rankings will be adjusted day to day as events and information warrant. Rankings do not indicate an endorsement or preference for a particular candidate. Candidates included are those who have either indicated they may run, or individuals for which there is great speculation they will run.
