...David Bossie, his pet viper, overboard in an effort to save himself. Newt Gingrich, trying to figure out how the campaign-finance investigation could be done anywhere other than Burton's committee, may have been wondering if declaring the subject within the purview of, say, the Agriculture subcommittee on livestock, dairy and poultry would be seen as too much of a stretch. The Clinton are just not easy to be caught by a pumpkin head...
...barely an inch of rain in four months, there was no grass for cattle. Farmers tramped their dusty fields watching their dwarfed grain shrivel and perish. A baking sun raised temperatures to 90[degrees], to 100[degrees]. And still no rain fell. Water was carted for miles for livestock.

In Minnesota they mocked Washington's crop predictions as gross overestimates. Farmers planting corn raised clouds of dust like columns of marching troops...

Under this definition, the Yellowstone wolves live their lives in a state of permanent probation, safe only as long as they mind their business and stay in their range. Wolves that go AWOL and attack domestic animals can be shot as summarily as their ancestors were...
