The great and mighty Siberian husky, Banshee, defended the family from a giant polar bear this morning. Well, not so much “defended” as “cowered in front of” and not so much “polar bear” as “painted sheep statue.” But, it was a great adventure regardless.
After the Sheeptacular in October 2007, many of these decorated sheep appeared around town:
One of them was on our walking path this morning. The dogs were pretty sure it was a giant monster that was going to eat them.
Another great example of how people who are not, by any reasonable definition, wealthy are somehow able to be convinced to support something which is not in their own self-interest. If you make less than $111,000 per year, why would you support the plan on the left over the plan on the right? You prefer to give your tax money to rich people, rather than keep it yourself? Amazing.
Edit: This all assumes, for good historical reason, that the gummint isn’t planning to reduce spending, and therefore the total revenue needs to remain somewhat static.
