Politics and horses
Tuesday, October 10th, 2006I’m seeing some odd similarities between my recent experiences with horses and the Senatorial campaign here in Virginia (Jim Webb is running against George Allen.)
This morning I spent about twenty minutes trying to find two horse in a large pasture. It was dark and foggy, and the horses are dark brown. They chose this morning to ignore my calls and wait for me to find them. At least once I passed within thirty feet of one of them without knowing it. She remained quiet. Only after I found her did she whinny, quite loudly, right in my face. Once found I found them, I removed their muzzles (keeps them from overeating) and let them enjoy the rest of the day in peace.
Politics around here seems to be going the same way. Lots of darkness and fog, not much in the way of useful noise. I have no idea what either of them stands for, they just keep blathering on about how bad the other one is. I have no idea who to vote for because from what little I hear, they could both stand to be muzzled.
