Giving Up Politics

Giving up politics may be a hard addiction to break, but with a 78-day campaign in Canada and what seems like a 78-month campaign in the United States, it might be a wise move. Until election day, of course, when we expect you to go out and vote several times.

The first debates are about to begin, but the best political news of the day comes from Washington, where thirty goats have been employed to clean up the Historical Congressional Cemetery. The goats will roam the grounds, munching invasive species, including poison ivy. Goats may be the only creatures able to enjoy a tasty meal of poison ivy.

These goats are professionals; they have worked the cemetery grounds before, and are ready to do it again. And visitors are invited. A cemetery spokesperson says visitors "are welcome to grab a glass of wine and take a short walk" to watch the goats at work.

However, if you go, you are advised not to wear anything edible.
