Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper, aware of various “official” state symbols—the badger, robin, etc.–is suggesting that the stench of cow manure become the official state odor and that it be pumped into Wisconsin’s legislative chambers where there is apparent approval for poisoning the groundwater with cow manure to make Kewaunee county and other areas unlivable.
As a farm boy, the keeper worried that the city girls he wanted to date would be put off by the fact that he might smell like a cow, but if the smell were to be given official sanction, perhaps today’s country boys would be spared such concern.
There are 1,274,000 dairy cows in Wisconsin, and who knows how many farm boys, but certainly enough to appreciate the advantage of an official stink. Such a stink has been a part of the Wisconsin gerrymandered, narcissistic legislature for years, and it has worked so well for the Repub members that the keeper suggests a toast—with contaminated Kewaunee County tap water.
Drink up, Vos, et al!
