Frantic over the possibility that a Democrat might lose the race to
replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, the Democratic National
Committee has sent its top spinner, Hari Sevugan, to the aid of
Democratic candidate Martha Coakley, who appears to be rapidly losing
ground to Republican Scott Brown. But what can Sevugan do to shore up
Coakley's struggling campaign? Well, he spent his first day on the job
trying to tie Brown to Sarah Palin.
Early Monday afternoon, Sevugan sent out an email to reporters featuring a link to a story
on the lefty website TPM. The headline: "Is Sarah Palin Avoiding Mass
Senate Race?" The story quoted a Democratic strategist saying that
"it's interesting" that Palin is "nowhere to be found in this race."
TPM conceded that GOP sources say there has been "no talk" about Palin
visiting Massachusetts. But that didn't stop Sevugan, who is quoted
declaring that Palin's supporters "are anxious for her to weigh in." At
the top of his email to journalists, Sevugan wrote, "Come on, Sarah,
why are you being so shy?"

About that picture... back when I was a working stiff I witnessed a similar event. Owing to my seniority at the time, I was able to garner a much coveted window cubicle on the 13th floor spaces we occupied. This was a pretty big deal in our world and its significance was diminished only a little by the fact that the ruling class had dictated that we had to face our desks inward, away from the window. Anyway, one day as I was working away studiously, I heard a loud "splat" behind me. I turned and looked and saw nothing but the perfect dust outline on the window of a wingspread pigeon left at the very moment that its aspirations met reality. I think that pigeon could have been a Democrat

We had a dove smack our patio window that way. Unfortunately for the dove, it hit the window square on and the hawk that was chasing it, flared out, caught the dove in it's talons as it rebounded off the window. The hawk while catching the dove in mid air managed to turn enough that it hit the window at a shallower angle and more or less bounced off the window. It landed in the yard about 20 ft, away. The hawk seemed a little dazed as it sat there kneading the dove for several minutes. Eventually the neighbor's cat jumped over the fence and the hawk took off with its dinner when my son opened the patio door to start pelting the cat with BBs.
ReplyDeleteNeither the dove nor the hawk left such a pristine outline on the window. We might of had a nice dove print if the dove hadn't been flying all out straight at the window when it hit. All we got was a dusty smudge.
