well, they ain't subtle.

If all the permits work out, and I see no reason why they shouldn't*, Eddie will be playing guitar with Patti Smith in the morning. I just have to go home and break out my deerskin parka and gloves. Not to mention my antler hat. Tonight we feast on venison, my brothers, for tomorrow we die!

This is a real press release. I wish I could make it up. Secret plan! Repeatedly rammed metal bolt!! ENLIGHTENED TRADITIONS!!! Bwahahahaha!!!!!

LEGENDARY ROCK AND ROLL STAR PATTI SMITH TO ANCHOR "RALLY FOR RUDOLPH"
FREE CONCERT WILL BENEFIT EFFORTS TO STOP NJ DEER SLAUGHTER

Princeton, NJ. The first-ever "Rally For Rudolph" will be held this Saturday, December 22 at noon in Palmer Square in downtown Princeton, NJ to stop the planned dangerous and brutal slaughter of deer in Princeton and throughout the state of New Jersey.

The rally and concert will feature New Jersey born star Patti Smith and is free and open to the public. Patti Smith is a finalist for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and her album "Horses" was voted one of the fifty greatest albums of all time by VH1 and MTV. She has collaborated with Bruce Springsteen in the past. Patti Smith will be playing with the band A+Attitude featuring Eric Salus, formerly of the popular 70s group, Tony Orlando and Dawn.

Additional public comments will be read on behalf of rally supporter/writer, Joyce Carol Oates and ethicist, Peter Singer who are plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed last week to stop the dangerous deer kill program in New Jersey. The public is being encouraged to come to downtown Princeton to support local merchants, shop, and help the community by voicing opposition to dangerous high-powered rifles in Princeton.

"Princeton is now the only town in New Jersey that allows high-powered rifles that can discharge bullets up to a mile. This is an unacceptable danger to our community," said rally organizer Emily Cook.

"Princeton stands for knowledge, humanity, ethics and progressivism," said rally organizer Karen Cotton. "The secret plan passed by Princeton Township Mayor Phyliss Marchand to kill deer by repeatedly ramming a metal bolt into their heads after the deer are tortured in nets is barbaric and repudiates all of Princeton's enlightened traditions."

The rally is co-sponsored by the Mercer County Deer Alliance, the New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance, Princeton Mothers To Stop Dangerous Rifles in Princeton, Princeton Alumni To Stop Brutality To Deer, Littlebrook Elementary School Children For the Deer, Princeton Friends School Children For Deer, and the Princeton High School Humane Society.

Look for special appearances by Elves For Rudolph and Donner, Blixen, Vixen, Prancer, Dancer and Comet.

*other than the fact that an occasion this ridiculous is surely run by buffoons.
