14. it was some campaign stop on her failed run for Nelsons seat. That might
be the same stop where there was a straw poll that she won because she had the kids write her name down and then helped them stuff them into whatever device holds ballots made of straw. She is bat shit crazy that one, i could see her being a stalker.

19. Thanks. I can see how unsucessful she would be...
She looks like she does not know shit about opossums. YOU DO NOT HOLD THEM BY THEIR TAILS, DODO! You can see why in the photograph, they hate it and they just turn around and nip you. You handle them with gloves and hold them right side up on their sides like when you pick up a cat. How would you like if someone held you upside down by your foot? Man, she is asking for it...

17. I finally got to see a real live possum the other day
as opposed to a road-killed one.

It was waddling across the street in my neighborhood in central Minneapolis. Go figure.
But at least it wasn't being held up by the tail by the odious Katherine Harries.

26. Again, my caption for this photo: IS NEVER DO THIS!
If you ever have to handle a opussum NEVER hold them by the tail. Would you hold your cat like this? It's painful and annoying to the animal. Pick him right side up on the sides of his stomach, but only if he is tame. Do not mess with wild opussums, but they usually just run away from humans.

I feel sorry for this opussum in this photo. I would fucking hate to be held upside down as part of cutesy political photo op. :(

30. Yes, but that is when they want to do it.
They aren't upside down most of the time, though. Sometimes people hang upside down from monkey bars for fun, but that does not mean they like to be held upside down without permission.

20. You are joking right or are you a city slicker?
Titmice are BIRDS not rodents. They are usually used as Lounge jokes.

28. Give opossums some credit. They are CUTE!
Harris is treating this one badly. Opussums have small brains, but I can see that Harris' brain is even smaller. I hope a giant Opussum holds her upside down while he smiles. :grr:

40. It's Katherine Harris having her armpit sniffed
by some poor raccoon. The raccoon thinks it is some kind of aged cheese. As for Harris, she just gets aroused in many ways that others might find curiously odd.

46. ((David Attenborough voice))
Though the opossum's ruse of playing dead works on lesser predators, it is less than successful when employed against the Florida Republican.
