City Officials flushed 8 million gallons from the drinking water reservoir because a guy was caught urinating into it.

Not to worry….. they flush it to clean solid refuse and waste from the bottom of the reservoir twice a year.

There was another one by  the  new  cornfield  three  weeks ago,  crying to its mother, who hid in the pine trees watching the  biped working next to her baby.  She collected her fawn a bit later, when the pharmer headed back to the house.

Obama initiated war number 3 in Libya, claiming that it would be over in days.   This, of course never works out, and now he is in violation of the War Powers Act, which allows the Executive branch to initiate military actions, but holds them accountable to Congress for continued support.   Obama’s time has been up, and finally the Speaker of the House appears to be addressing the problem directly.
