Getting Ball's Goat

News That Matters Brought to you by PlanPutnam.Org News sources are reporting this afternoon that the Assemblyman Who Shall Not Be Named reported finding a dead goat in his front yard last night upon returning from Albany. Tied to  the goat's neck was a sign that referred to Viva M-13... an alleged Latino gang. None of the news reports I've read so far have the full text of the message so we'll have to take his word for it. PolitickerNY reports: "It had what amounts to a death threat," Ball said, pointing to a sign that he said he found tied to the goat's neck containing, in broken Spanish, a reference to the gang MS-13. When questioned further about why a goat would be used the intrepid candidate replied, "I don't know how complicated these people are," he said. "But I was in the 4H for 10 years and I did raise and milk goats." Well, that's all the reason to use a goat I guess. According to the Journal News report: "Ball, 31, has in the past referred to milking goats. At his 30th birthday party at a North Salem restaurant in September 2007, Ball's affinity for goats was on display in many of the photos around the room that showed him posing with the animals through the years." Hmmm. This just gets better. A man raised animals on a small farm in the Midwest. The farm was a peaceful place. Then, one day a pig was found murdered in the barn. Upset, the farmer was determined to find the killer. The only witness was a rabbit. The farmer lined up all the suspects: a cow, a young goat, a horse and a rooster. He told the rabbit to pick out the killer. The rabbit hopped up and down the line. He stopped and nodded his head at the young goat. Nervously, the goat said, "I didn't do it!" The farmer replied, "Hare's looking at you, kid."                                                                                                   Max Walker Why is it hard to carry on a conversation with a goat?
