Mer Jul i Gävle
Once again, Why Now? is pleased to present the link to the webcam of Gävlebocken, The biggest Christmas Goat in the world [now with a blog].
From Steve Bates of Yellow Doggerel Democrat in the comments from 2006:
Why build a giant goat of straw,
Which most of us would scarcely note?
Some, though, defy the very law,
To vandalize the Gävle Goat.In some years, they used wayward cars;
In others, flaming arrows smote.
This year’s survives, although with scars…
A fact that gets some people’s goat.A webcam and some watchful eyes,
A flame-retardant second coat,
Should save it… unless Dubya spies
The thing, and claims it’s his pet goat!– SB the YDD

Let us celebrate the obsolescence of this doggerel: this is Dubya’s last Christmas in office! I hope my celebration of that fact gets some wing-nuts’ goat…
(Now I see Jeb may run for the Senate. What’s with all these dynasties in a democracy, anyway?)
If the Florida Dems could find a spine and run a decent candidate who would ask questions about John Ellis’s business dealings and their effect on the state, as well as the corruption of several of his appointees we could trim back this shrub before it takes root. I don’t expect that to happen, but you can always hope.
He may be leaving office, but without impeachment we will be supporting him for years.
