Superior, Wisconsin – In a dire vegetarian crisis that’s starting to draw national attention away from events in the Middle East, Somalia, and North Korea, Superior Mayor David Ross’s lawn still looks like $#|+. A local candidate for the forthcoming mayoral election issued the following statement:

“You think the southern Lebanese have it bad, what about the herbal carnage in Mayor Ross’ dead and dying yard? Those water-starved plants are undergoing Guantanamo-style water deprivation. Oh, the humanity! I’ve had just about enough of his horticultural genocide. If he refuses to do a good job on his lawn, I guess I’ll have to do it myself. Swift action must be taken! I’m looking for volunteers for a water brigade to carry up water from the St. Louis River to his yard. He lives about a ¼ mile from the river. I figure we’ll need about 150 volunteers. I’ll bring the bucket. By the way does anyone else think that picture of the desert above is somehow lewd?”

There’s been no word from the Ross camp yet. –News Service Reports

Is it wrong that the after "photo" seems somehow sexual to me?


The mayor is apparently just letting the lawn go dormant in the drought. Cut him some slack-- it might be the only positive enviro move he's ever made.


Lady Dune gives birth to the sun with the help of happy Dr. Cactus?


Something to that extent vicarious.


Love the "dire" link!


Actually I think its Dr. Happy B. Cactus.
