A young German chef lost two hands in a liquid nitrogen accident.

Kids, we’re not in Kansas anymore.

The Canada Goose is a health hazard.

– Senator Nancy Ruth

This isn’t what I had in mind when I was considering in my last post how two problems could add up to two solutions.

Pissed that too many geese and their detritus are spoiling her cottage property, the senator took the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to task.

The geese should be shot and cooked and served to the poor, she said, or more specifically, as she explained to the media later, shot, plucked, inspected and sent to food banks.

And hey, it’s not just the fecal matter washing into her lake. It’s a problem near her Toronto home, too.

“We cull other animals,” she insisted, “why not these?” She might have a point, if it weren’t for her shameless sell-interest.

I wonder what else is going awry in the senator’s personal life that we can enlist the goverment to set right?
