The goat which must not be named

Being a paperboy sucks. It’s not a job that lends itself to the easy life: you have to wake up earlier than everyone else no matter the weather, your aim must be precise, the pay is menial at best, collect money from deadbeats, you have to ward off the advances of pedophiles and contend with dogs. It’s just not worth it.

Get ready to add another con to that list: being attacked by rampaging goats.

Jaxon Gessel was minding his business, hurting nobody by doing his job as a paperboy when out of nowhere, he was sent flying off his bike by a vicious headbutt. The culprit? A goat given the name of Voldemort. Somehow the monster had managed to get off its chain (surely via the use of evil magics) and attack young Jaxon.

The war bodes well for us

My friends, things are going well for us.

In Smithfield, Virginia, a show dog was recently bitten by a snake. Now, I know and you know that show dogs aren’t exactly the warriors that we would expect to fight on the battle-lines of war, nor do I think we would. They’re not fighting material, but they are propaganda machines. Think Captain America in the Marvel movie universe when he’s on stage punching theater-Hitler. That’s why this is great news for us. One of our enemy’s stars has been attacked by a rogue member of their forces? How can you possibly spin that in a positive way?

We don’t need to sit on our laurels, but frankly, it’s things are looking good at the moment.
