If Congress doesn’t reach a deal by this Friday, a “sequester” will take effect ‘cutting $85 billion from the federal budget instantaneously, with a total of $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years. “Scare-quester,” you say? Nay! I say, “Sequ-excellent!” Bring on the sequester in all its fiscally irresponsible glory! Here’s what I’m most excited about:
There’s a video cycling around (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpccpglnNf0) of goats yelling, and sounding just like people. THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ANIMALS WHO DO THIS. Here’s rare video evidence of others:
