This from the blog calitics:
This could be the result of a Halloween prank, all the way up to something out of The Godfather. But the fact that it happened at the beginning of GOTV weekend is very curious.
On Friday night, upon leaving the Charlie Brown for Congress campaign office in Grass Valley, staffers found a severed goat's head on the front step. I'm putting the pictures on the flip, because they are graphic and disturbing, so please don't open if you don't want to see them.
Images after the jump (for good reason).
Before we get to the pictures, note that California voters will be going to the polls to vote on Proposition 2, which would require calves, egg laying hens and certain other farm animals that are confined to have sufficient room to stand up and turn around. Tom McClintock, rightwing idealogue, career politician and perrenial Republican candidate, thoughtfully bloggedcarefully laid out sentiment: on this Proposition with this carefully laid out sentiment:
NO: Sorry, but farm animals are food, not friends. Plan on somewhat happier cows and much higher grocery bills if this one passes.
Apparently, someone mistakenly believed that animals are not food, nor friends, but instead should have its head cut off and left at the doorstep of the campaign office of Lt. Col. Charlie Brown, running in this neck and neck race for Congress against Tom.
Not for the faint of heart -
The race has now been updated in the last week to "toss up" by the Rothenberg Political Report and to "no clear favorite" by CQ.
