an article in today's la times quotes whitehouse spokesman bill burton's take on the situation thusly, "The presence of unauthorized raccoons gives us great paws."
burton also noted the national park service is, at this very moment, attempting to trap them using peanut butter (what don't kill em makes em stronger) in hopes of a racoon rendition to someplace other than where they're at now.
for the first time in my ju adventure i really wish i hadda audience log to see who couldn't resist reading this one.
