More Southern Photos!


GOATs01, originally uploaded by Chambo25.

I'm going to post more picture on Flickr tomorrow, that's my plan at least. Here's a quick post of two goats we named Wilburrr (on the left) and Fiona (on the right). They were deuling... literally butting heads over a third goat, who I just named Elouise. Elouise was pretty freaked out by the whole affair so she scooted away pretty darn quick. These two were pretty impressive going at it. GOATS! In the SOUTH! Yeah!

New Favorite Political One-Liner

There have been lots of barbs tossed around this week at the Democratic Convention, and I hope people are starting to feel satisfied that the party is really going on the offensive against McCain, the Republicans, etc. Still, I missed this great line and only caught it today when Andrew Sullivan posted about how he missed it.

Peggy Noonan caught it, as did, apparently everybody out in Denver:

"By the way, the best line of the convention so far? Ted Strickland of Ohio, when he echoed the 1988 Democratic convention joke about George H.W. Bush, that he was born on third and thought he hit a triple. Strickland said of George W. Bush that he was born on third and then stole second. It didn't get much attention in any of the commentary, but it's all people were talking about in the bars of Denver that night."
