Teddy Bears Make Good Surrogate Moms

Bottle Lamb in Crate with Teddy Bear

This is Link - a bottle lamb we acquired yesterday from some neighbors. His mom had had triplets, and this little guy just couldn't get to the teat. As our friends both work full time, they just didn't have the resources to take care of him adequately. It helped that we were looking for a bottle lamb for our upcoming petting zoo season. So, here we go. Four hours between feedings ...

Interestingly enough, this is the second time this particular faux bear has acted as a surrogate mom for a sheep: the first was Sweet Pea, two years ago. And Sweet Pea will be traveling with the porta-zoo this summer, too - with her new lamb.

Abortion tops menu of bans in pizza magnate's new town

I think this is a hare brained scheme that will fail in the long run - if it's truly incorporated as a town, the town could vote to annex surrounding areas, and I assume that even Mr. Monaghan doesn't have the ready cash to buy the entire state ... but ...

Imagine with me for a moment that I had managed to hit the Powerball jackpot a couple of weeks back, and with my money planned a town exactly like this one here in the Hoosier Heartland. Except, of course, it'd be a Heathen university and clergy training center. And, while residents would own their property outright, I'd control all the commercial real estate, and that would insure that nary a church could be found, and Main Street would not be littered with Christian bookstores. And the only pizza in town would be from Pizza Hut.

Now imagine the reaction of Mr. Monaghan and the rest of the Christian Right to my little town...

I can only hope that there's a special place in the Christian Hell for hypocrites. It'd be the biggest section in the whole realm.

If Domino's Pizza founder Thomas S. Monaghan has his way, a new town being built in Florida will be governed according to strict Roman Catholic principles, with no place to get an abortion, pornography or birth control.
