Turds found in Capitol, but no ‘blossoms’ in sight
According to a Capitol Hill newspaper, police are unable to solve the mystery of the “caca caper.”…. “Usually, if a turd gets into the Senate, it’s because he or she was elected,” Emily Heil reports for Roll Call. “But on Wednesday, several large piles of actual, nonmetaphorical ‘No. 2’ found their way into the Capitol, and the source isn’t yet clear.”…. Heil continues, “On Wednesday afternoon, Capitol Police cordoned off a section of the hallway on the third floor of the Senate side of the Capitol, where at least three piles of the stuff were causing a stench ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ and a stir. At first, the word circulating among the staff was that a visiting child had fallen ill while in the gallery. But then the prevailing theory was that the foul stuff had come from an adult or group of adults making a yet-to-be-determined political statement.”
Somewhere, I suppose the junior high schoolers responsible for this prank are laughing into their Cokes. I’m impressed, given the security blanketing the Capitol, that someone could actually have pulled something like this off without getting busted by the overly-officious and self-important Capitol Police. If nothing else, you’d think the smell would have tipped them off.
Of course, as political protests go- if in fact that’s what this whole thing was- I’d have to give the perpetrators high marks for creativity. I can’t think of a more appropriate metaphor for the past six-plus years.
STILL GLAD YOU VOTED REPUBLICAN??
