And Now From the Realm of the Truly Bizarre...
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y) lost a chunk of his hand yesterday to a goat. But wait, there's more! This from the Huffington Post:
Nature's karmic balance was briefly -- and ironically -- restored on Capitol Hill Thursday, when an Angora goat, brought to a press conference by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) as a prop to highlight the need to cut mohair wool subsidies, stabbed the Congressman.
Representatives Weiner and Chaffetz (R-Utah) had been using the two gallant goats, Lancelot and Arthur, as part of an event designed to push for the ending of $1 million-a-year mohair goat farming industry subsidies when Lancelot drew blood from Weiner.
According to reports from the scene, one of the goat's foot-long horns took a small piece out of Weiner's hand.

I always knew our furry friends would take a stab at politics one day.

Where to begin? Hard to take Weiner seriously as a fiscal conservative, since he voted for the stimulus package, ObamaCare, and indeed, 97.7% of all Democrat-sponsored legislation. But certainly, if you want to be taken seriously, goats are the way to go.
