Evil varmints

No one believes me. They think my hatred for squirrels is irrational. But then something like this happens and I feel vindicated.

Squirrel short circuits transformer, knocks out power in Teaneck, Englewood and Bergenfield

A squirrel wrecked havoc with an overhead transformer in Bergenfield today, leaving about 1,400 people in three Bergen County towns without electricity, according to a report in The Record.

Power was out for about 40 minutes in Teaneck, Englewood and Bergenfield, according to the report. It was restored around 8 a.m.

Plus, think about it. The word “squirrelly” means crazy or nuts — an appropriate word of the day given the absolutely squirrelly nature of the McCain campaign.

When squirrels attack!

From Spiegel Online (image from The Indy Channel):

An aggressive squirrel went on the rampage in southern Germany on Tuesday, injuring three people. But a 72-year-old pensioner finally put a stop to the mayhem, killing the creature stone dead with his crutch. Now the dead animal is being examined for rabies.

Most squirrels are cute and harmless little scamps who are happy to jump around gathering nuts — but on Tuesday one of the furry creatures launched a vicious and unprovoked attack, injuring three innocent members of the public.

Evils varmints.

See, this is why I hate squirrels.
