• The Colonel is revered worldwide and his followers support his ritual of animal sacrifice — in this case, chickens.

• Targeting the Colonel over the Muhammad cartoon is insane. The sign says Kentucky Fried Chicken, not Denmark Fried Chicken.

• The information was delayed 18 hours to give FEMA enough time to send checks to the wrong people.
