RING A BELL?

This cracked me up. Watch out Repubs!!

Hundreds of Turkish sheep follow leader off cliff:

"ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Hundreds of sheep followed their leader off a
cliff in eastern Turkey, plunging to their deaths this week while shepherds
looked on in dismay.

Four hundred sheep fell 15 meters (yards) to their
deaths in a ravine in Van province near Iran but broke the fall of another 1,100
animals who survived,
newspaper reports said on Friday.
Shepherds from
Ikizler village neglected the flock while eating breakfast, leaving the sheep to
roam free, the Radikal daily said.

The loss to local farmers was estimated at 100,000 new lira
($74,000).
($1=1.3440 new lira) "

So far the loss from our sheep is far greater: 87 billion and growing, 1700+ lives. Untold damage to the economy, civil rights, and the environment.

*sigh*
