Terror by goats!

Thanks to the folks over at Fark for this one. The Department of Homeland Security seems to have actually been made more of a laughingstock after the departure of it's director. You can't make this stuff up. Considering these goats are destined for a gyro, I'm not sure what the terrorists would be thinking. The deputy director, Andrew Cline, had these words of wisdom:

The goats "have been infected with a bio-agent. ... Then, the infected goats are at the show and you have people come and look at the goats and pet the goats and then they go home," Cline said, summarizing the day's scenario.

"We try to focus on what really matters to Kentucky," he said, adding, "this is a perfect way to do it." (emphasis mine)

Well, then, I guess that's all there is to it. If they were looking for a distraction from the apparent incompetence of the department, I'm not sure this was the best decision. Sure, Plug Nickel may just be jealous no one threw any political patronage Plug Nickel's way, but Plug Nickel can at least use a pronoun every now and again.

You know, Halloween is just around the corner:

"They'll have to herd cattle into a chute. ... and dress in personal protective equipment," Cline said of the exercises near Versailles today.

I apologize for being a little skeptical, but after the shrillness of Karl Rove today, I'm glad to have this exercise to put it all into context.
