Sarah Palin’s email and a couple of goats
Who sez Tennessee is in the Boonies?
After all, it looks like it was one of our own who had the sophistication to hack into Sarah Palin’s email account. Moreover, it’s looking more and more like the job was done by the son of one of our own rare but “Vile Democrat” Representatives, too. Those people!
Not that it was hard. The password reset feature on Palin’s webmail account apparently only required the hacker to answer some easy questions — e.g., what is your zip code and birthdate? — which only required a few minutes on Google to acquire. Webmail users, take warning.
On the lighter side.
A friend of mine sent me some delightfully Boony-ish news and said I could share it, though not with her name. She lives out in the county, and wanted to update me on the status of the stray miniature goat she’d rescued a few years back.
Yes, really. Stray. Miniature. Goat.
The goat roamed around my friends’ property for several weeks as they looked for its owner to no avail. Finally, after luring the feral creature towards them with some food, my friend and her husband were able to catch the mighty little beast. The two then bundled the loudly-protesting creature into the family Lexus, voiding all warranties by so doing no doubt, and took her to a neighbor who’d offered to add her to his own small herd.
The news is that there are some new kids on the block. Happily sharing quarters (and obviously other things as well) with her new herd, Nervous Nellie (aka Jumping Jane) has recently given birth to a pair of miniature goat twins.

If anyone is interested in the real names and locations of the parties involved in this little TAIL, they’ll have to hack into my webmail account, where they will also find several other juicy tidbits, including the name of the Japanese designer who made my fabulous contact lenses.
