This could be an election headline. Predictions of GOP House losses range between:
In 1994 the biggest predections were in the 25-30 range and the Dems lost over 50.
However, today's headline is NOT electoral:
Today’s elephant populations are suffering from a form of chronic stress, a kind of species-wide trauma. Decades of poaching and culling and habitat loss, they claim, have so disrupted the intricate web of familial and societal relations by which young elephants have traditionally been raised in the wild, and by which established elephant herds are governed, that what we are now witnessing is nothing less than a precipitous collapse of elephant culture.
Elephants are wonderful animals and they can't help it that a mean-spirited political party chose them for a symbol. Or Thomas Nast did anyway.
Speaking of mean spirited, there was yesterday's Steve King No quisiera Que Usted Votara story. Tom Miller responds:
Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller declared Thursday that Iowa Secretary of State Chet Culver has "full authority" to offer voting information in foreign languages on his office's official Web site.
Miller said that "the use of other languages can facilitate exercising the constitutional right to vote."
Anyone else notice that King's All My Base Are Belong To Me campaign screed was shipped out on congressional letterhead?
