Bush's cat India gets Indians enraged

By Indo-Asian News Service

Thiruvananthapuram, July 2 (IANS) Angry youths in this Kerala capital Friday burnt an effigy of US President George W. Bush, not because they are anti-American but because he has named his cat India.

Members of the citizens group Prathikarana Vedi assembled before the Kerala assembly saying that Bush calling his cat India was an insult to the country.

"This is a disgrace to our great country and this has come from none other than US President George W. Bush. This is nothing but an insult to India because there are hundreds of thousands of Indians in US, and many who occupy key posts in the White House," said M.A. Latheef, president of the group.

"He should make amends," Latheef added.

The members of the group walked to the front gate of the assembly building but were stopped by police. After a brief speech and some slogans, the members burnt an effigy of the US president.

I bet he named her India as the 'female' equivelent of "Indio" who she is named after. Those sillies in the country of India need to broaden their culture a bit!

India Indians will have to learn to share the wofd "indian" with indigenous people all over the Americas.

Meanwhile, my pet amoeba Mohammed is demanding higher-class pond scum to live in, commensurate with his stature in the world. What should I do?

This is nothing but an insult to India because there are hundreds of thousands of Indians in US, [er, which kind, native Indians or western motel owner Indians?]

and many who occupy key posts in the White House," said M.A. Latheef, president of the group. [Are there Indian Neocons also?]

"He should make amends," Latheef added.

Oh good grief, somebody tell Latheef that if he wants reparations over a cat, he's in the far back of a very long line.

You got a point. And this cat is all black, so we will probably be hearing from Jesse Jackson and Maxine Waters any minute now.

"...also has wayward skulls full of mush with nothing to do!"

It's a university town. Can't be a real university student without a list of "demands."

I think we've found the Honorary Commandant of the Viking Kitties.

They should be proud the leader of the Viking Kitties is named after them. Whiners.

Switch it around for a minute.

The reaction of Americans to the PM of India naming his cat "America" would be .......indifference..

These folks need to relax. .....perhaps do some Hatha Yoga ;)

Nobody can convince me that the world isn't full of morons.

The moron challenge is simply a matter of perspective - is the world half-full or half-empty?
