Tractor Siege: Day III
The DC Tractor Siege continues yet a third day. This man has the power to paralyze the entire city with but a John Deere and a jeep...a power equivalent to an anthrax attack to the Capitol, a plane crash into the Pentagon, and a snowstorm. John Deeres rock. Fords rock too, but Chevy sucks. Anyway, if we can't handle a redneck in a tractor, how does anyone expect to handle true threats? US Park police get a D- for this one. They are notoriously dumb from what I hear. Ask me about the beaver attack on the cherry trees and how Park police handled that one.
Capricorn
Work could be a real drag today, dear Capricorn. You might be expected to put in more hours than you usually do. Your heart isn't in it right now. You have interests of your own that you would rather be pursuing, plus you might be planning to get together with friends, or with the man in your life. It's best to finish everything quickly, perhaps postponing non-essential tasks - and then go and enjoy yourself.
Umm, thanks sister, you're right on with that one. I snuck out of the Hellmouth a bit early this evening to make sure I got some rugby time in.

Dwight Watson is my hero. The saddest thing, is that they are just waiting to shoot him. Let's take his livelihood--whatever we feel about 'baccy, and disparage him because he is a white farmer, and then we can just shoot him when he wants to be seen. I hope they handle it better than my fears.

1. He's a mildly schitzophrenic (sp) nut.
2. His issue is not subsidies or tobacco, he just wants attention (see above).
3. Knowing he wants to be a martyr, they will not shoot him. They're going to starve him out until he gives up. Hopefully they aren't feeding him.

He;s got enough latent energy to survive without food for quite a while, at least from what AP photos I've seen. I am a slightly schizoid attention-monger too, and I'd hate to get shot to death for it.

my mother, after reading about this incident, merely wanted to know if the man had a cooler with sandwiches on the tractor and where he was peeing.
