Now, that's preposterous!

When I was a (much) younger man, I played in a travelling country band that wound up in Fargo, ND. for two weeks. This was in 1970, and it was so cool, and the people there were so welcoming, and I saw the Northern Lights for the first (and only, for me) time. That's all!

I realize, of course, that spelling means nothing to a raccoon. Wait, what's that rustling noise at the door? "Hey, fellas, love the masked look! Listen, I'm a little busy just now, so maybe... tomorrow, I just... AAARRRGHH!!!"

Maybe not in one sitting, but yeah. They'll be back! (I don't get it, either.)

The raccoons that lived in the tree next to my parents' house used to crap on their roof. Hope that helps . . .

My beagle's attitude was, "If it really is too disgusting to eat then it makes great perfume!" Not that there is much that a beagle won't eat.

Dogs like drunks, because they crap in weird places and they puke anywhere, both of which dogs will snarf down in an instant if you're not paying attention.

I thought this was a "joke" tweet. Then, down below, I see that it IS real, and she IS actually running for governor. Jesus wept.

"Only after accusing school districts of turning children into furries did Bostelman contact the school districts and waste administrators’ time asking about the litter boxes"

So. One of those mothers gets hold of a clearly ludicrous rumour about a local school; wildly exaggerates it; and wastes the time of her district school board about it. Then this fool raises the evidence-free concoction in the bloody state Senate without checking it.

Someone at that meeting ought to have had a quiet word with Ms. Hansen's family about mental health options, because my god. But she's a private citizen with no moral or legal obligation to not be Batsuit

For an elected representative to waste the time of the State Senate with that bullshit is not only dereliction of duty, it's contempt of the legislative body. People in high office have a responsibility to their constituents and colleagues, to do at least a little fact checking on issues they're bringing to the Floor. For their own credibility, if nothing else. This sloppy dog turd didn't even contact the school district to hear their side? Fuck.

Nebraskan Wonkettes, contact your reps to get this man removed from office because damn.
