Hillary’s Plan “B” Fails!

In what became known as “The Truman Plan,” Hillary Clinton launched a last minute campaign to become John McCain’s running mate, after losing the democratic presidential nomination to that guy from Hawaii. She courted McCain because she realized that the person nominated to run with him would in all probability be the next President; just as that fact was envisioned when Henry Wallace was kicked off the ticket with FDR and “Give ‘Em Hell” Harry was picked as his running mate for his proposed fourth term. And as you can see from the pictures above, Governor Palin hopes that one day McCain will gaze into her eyes with the same affection that he has shown for Hillary.

The Gaggle of Geese Didn't Work, So...

(Seattle) - On Friday, August 29, plan to come to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to witness a new trial method of assisting with ridding the airport's property of invasive plants . . . a herd of goats (and three sheep) will be eating its way through Scotch broom and other invasive plant species on the runway mitigation site. The Port of Seattle is testing this environmentally friendly way to protect and improve its property. The goats are contracted through local small businessman Don Miller, Goat Trimmers owner and lead shepherd. It's interesting to note that Goat Trimmers uses rescued sheep and goats. As part of the runway environmental mitigation, the Port must maintain about 180 acres of land, located at/near the airport and in Auburn. A five-person crew is contracted to keep the invasive plants in check - the goats are being tested to see if they can assist with hard-to-reach areas (steep slopes, etc.). This provides an excellent visual opportunity for a positive environmental story, a good human-interest story, a successful small business story, and/or a fun and entertaining story. Date: Friday, August 29, 2008Time: 10 to Noon.
