WASHINGTON--After agreeing to accept a $200 million donation from the widow of McDonald's founder Ray CrocNational Public Radio, National Public Radio has come under fire from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for accepting "blood money."

Protesters gathered Wednesday morning outside of the network's Washington headquarters carrying signs with such titles as "NPR: Never Pay the Ransom," "Mourning Edition" (accompanied by a picture of a mutilated calf and "Just Say No to Blood Money."

The demonstrators said they were upset that NPR, which is known for being a voice in the progressive community would take money from a woman whose husband had profited by "murdering" millions of cattle, chickens, and pigs.

"This is just outrageous," said Josh Nichols of Arlington, Virginia. "I would hope that NPR has the integrity to turn down what is obviously intended as a bribe to get them to never cover the many outrages that have been perpetrated by a greedy multinational corporation."

Whatever, but I would hope Congress would now stop forcing me to pay for lefty propaganda in violation of the Constitution.

LOL, that's what I was thinking. In fact, if it does NOT happen, PETA will be exposed as left-wing posseurs, and no better. But then again, that's what they are, well, time will tell.

I would suggest a nice stew. Your average vegan is going to be stringy and very lean meat. You will want to slow cook him or her to make sure you get the maximum flavor while maintaining the tenderness of the meat.

I thought this was in regards to an earlier post for a vegan recipe, my bad.
