Poor hedgehog. They're so cute, prickly but cute.

We get about one or two news snippets per year here, about kids or people finding hedgehogs in a park or something and playing soccer with them while they're rolled up in defence, until they die. I've never been around to see it happen, but I'd like to, so I could facilitate communications in a meaningful way.

The obvious answer is to randomly infect the hedgehog population with rabies. People generally get the idea after a few of their darling little monsters die horribly for abusing animals.
Yes, it would mean the deaths of a select few hedgehogs but you know what thay say: "You cant make an omlette without giving a few hedgehogs rabies". Mom was sooo right about that.

Wait, are you so contagious that you can't even make an omelette without giving a few hedgehogs rabies? The virus has evolved, it's capable of spreading ironically! We need to notify the president elect. Get a hazmat-team of Sutherlands down there, NOW. -Agnes, sweetie, call the mayor and tell him I'll have to skip his daughter's OT III graduation. No buts, just do it! *pulls a smoke from the chest pocket* Damnit, this day started out so well.

Especially since "were" means "man". What he ought to be is a [insert old Germanic stem meaning "hedgehog"]wolf.
Edit : A quick Internet search suggests that perhaps "igilwolf" would be a reasonable term for a hedgehog/wolf creature.

Er...if a hedgehog was bitten by a werewolf (needed to pass said curse along if not a bloodline thing) woudn't that just kill them outright? I mean, a hedgehog would be like a McNugget by comparison.
You know, talking about GOP hedgehog werewolves is still] better than discussing the new Trek Enterprise.
Getting back in a (roundabout way) to the GOP, Bush has managed to pass several "midnight regulations" that will fuck anyone trying to take medical leave- basicly it gives employers discression as to weither they will pay accrued vacation time to someone needing medical leave (for hospital stays, having a baby, etc.) whereas it was a requirement prior. This fucks me directly, as I may need to take time off from work next year to (try to) fix my leg- now my employer still must legally give me the time off- they just dont have to let me use vacation time to cover my living expenses. I just will have to live off my millions saved from my generous salary. Or just go bankrupt- whichever.
Also, these "midnight regulations" affect the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Air Act (which was already a gift to polluters) greatly easing government regulations in favor of big business.
After all, who needs clean air, adequate health care or preservation of endangered species?
Next up- pardons for all Bush's cronies!

I'm pretty sure there were supposed to be other methods of becoming werewolvized. Drinking water out of a werewolf's (or just wolf's?) footprint, for one. Or, I don't know, maybe the hedgehog had an open cut and got drooled upon by a werewolf?

As to Cheney, he's dropped off the radar completely- he's probably hoping history forgets him as throughly as the media seems to have.
Anyone catcg Bush's interview the other day? When asked what thing in his presidentcy he'd do over or what one thing went wrong, he said it was the "failure on the part of the inteligence community" that led to the invasion of Iraq.

Hmmm...maybe I should start a thread on all the Democrats I hate?
I refer miainly to asshats William Jefferson and, of course, Rod Blagojevich.
Nothing sours the elation of the first Democratic administration in eight looong years like Obama's new Attorney General having to prosecute two high profile Democrats as the first order of business.
..and make no mistake- if only half of what they're accused of is true, they should be deported to Antarctica in their underwear.

Y'know, the various press outlets keep referring to Blagojevich as "good looking" but he looks like some thug David Hasselhoff would slug on the old Knight Rider show.
