Figured you'd get a grin out of this.

Calling C. W. McCall

Boston Herald headline: "A bridge too low met a trucker too high"

The sign said clearance to the twelve-foot line
But the chickens were stacked to thirteen nine....

"Harold is that most dangerous of animals -- a clever sheep."

The BBC reports that Yorkshire sheep have figured out how to safely cross cattle grids (aka Texas gates), designed to bar the passage of hoofed animals.

An idea whose time has come?

McCain/Bradley in 2008, the Centrist Ticket.  Let'em come to an agreement between themselves as to who becomes President and who becomes Vice President (they could, for example, let the Senate decide it, the Vice President being President of the Senate).  They're both smart, rational, intelligent moderates with ethics.

Think about it.

Oh, sure, the DNC and RNC would both have a cerebral aneurysm.  But if we -- all of us -- could talk the two of them into it, it might be just the sort of unifying move this country needs.
