Pen-Elayne on the Web

Here's a lesson for all levels of government. If there's something out there stinking up your area - actually putting off odors that are causing everyone nearby to complain to everyone who will listen - don't ignore them with the standard "not our jurisdiction" explanation. People hate living with stenches.

Or else, everyone in the country will know that your state has a dead cow stuck on a dam, creating a stink, and that no agency will step forward to haul the carcass out of the river. How long until Leno uses this?
