When I saw the headline 'congressman gored by goat', I was thinking please make it be Weiner.....(this proves there is a God) Goat spears Rep. Weiner, draws blood Share June 10, 2010, 12:54 pm by Christina Wilkie Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was injured by a mohair goat on Thursday during a press conference to highlight subsidies to the mohair industry. The goat nicked Weiner's right hand with one of its pointy, foot-long horns, hard enough to draw blood. Weiner was speaking to reporters in a park near the Rayburn House Office Building, and he was joined by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), and two young male mohair goats, Lancelot and Arthur. At press time, it was unclear which goat, Lancelot or Arthur, was to blame for Weiner's injury. According to a statement from Weiner's office, the mohair goat farming industry received nearly $1 million in subsidies last year, and after a handful of bad wool-and-goat related puns, the lawmakers decried the subsidies as wasteful government spending. "Jason and I may not agree on very much," Weiner said of his GOP colleague, "but we're united against this waste." Weiner even went so far as to pledge not to wear wool until the House strikes the mohair subsidy from an upcoming agricultural appropriations bill. Chaffetz declined to make the same pledge. "Send all the PETA mail to Jason, OK?" Weiner joked.

Obama is so DAMED busy Investigating BP, the oil industry, the insurance industry, and anyone else who currently has a job, but is totally clueless* as to helping companies succeed so they CAN hire more employees.... In fact, CLUELESS about much of anything else but partying at taxpayers expense, that pretty soon, he will trip and fall of the ineptitude he is carrying and showing. Is there ANYTHING this man has done FOR the country? Or is it just what he has done TO the country? He is SO busy doing everything BUT his job, that pretty soon, people are going to wake up and think about impeaching him. IF he hasn't figured out a way to muzzle all of us first.
