To All My Political Animals
June 13th 2011 00:35
As you probably know, I have a small farm/ranch. We raise goats, in hopes of building a goat dairy next year. We also have chickens and more cats than anyone should have. Our beautiful horses had to be sold when a flood took out more fence than we could replace. That was a very hard reality to take.
I tend to see things through a political lens, so bear with me...
I think my chickens might be democrats. The roosters, especially, have several nasty habits, such as attacking whoever feeds them. If I could catch the little miscreants, we'd be having chicken and dumplings, but they're very quick and crafty when it comes to escaping. Much like Bill (the Zipper) Clinton, Anthony (no Zipper) Wiener, Scary Harry Reid, Chris Dodd and the rest of the leading democrat flock, my roosters behave badly, then merrily fly away. The hens have some bad habits, too. One hen is different from the others and gets pecked unmercifully by the rest of the clucks. On the good side, they lay great eggs.
The goats are definitely independents. Fences don't matter much to them. I spent most of today catching and herding the nannies and kids back to their "homes". The billies, on the other hand are very happy to eat, sleep and breed.
I've discussed the cats before. They showed up, uninvited and now demand to be fed every time I go out the door. Sometimes they get downright rude when I don't have anything for them. Demanding little critters that don't even catch mice. They're like illegal aliens, I guess.
Our Cockatiel passed on awhile back and the only bird left is Hannity, the parakeet. He chatters and warbles for his food. He earns his keep.
Our little Chihuahua is a fearless protector (from a safe distance) and loud warning system when anyone approaches the front gate. So she earns her keep, too. Clearly a republican pooch.
I couldn't escape from politics if I wanted to, as you can see.
