Progress in War on Fatheads - Tea Party Challenges GA Power

When I saw these two headlines side by side in the paper this morning, I thought, Duh!...then Huh? On reread I saw the reason for my puzzlement. The headlines were about two different stories and I’d misread the first headline by a letter L. The first article was about Progress in the War on Flatheads and the second totally unrelated to either flatheads or fatheads regardless of your current political leanings was the Tea Party article.

The flat heads are an invasive species of catfish that are voracious eaters and can grow into the 100 pound range, a range sport fishermen liked. They have flourished and now pose a threat to native species and DNR crews are using electrofishing to stun them and when they float up to the water’s surface they are scooped up and disposed of. Lots of animal stunning in the news lately including kangaroos and llamas and now fish!

The Tea Party article was focused on how conservatives have targeted power companies in the past considering wireless meters an invasion of privacy for instance, and how now the Tea Party groups are stepping up their game in challenging more specifically, Georgia Power (AKA the Southern Co.), a billion-dollar, some say monopoly, that makes decisions that affect millions of power using people in Georgia.  

Looks like the only fathead in today’s blog is the blogger, me!
