#  Support Goats are Un-American

May 17 2018

![](https://mail.citywatchla.com/images/stories/May-2018/040i.png)1) American Airlines has announced restrictions on some animals on their flights. Not considered Support Animals: ferrets, hedgehogs and goats. The animals allowed can't occupy a seat, must fit at the passenger's feet or under the seat. Trained mini-horses are allowed. I can't imagine a mini-horse **"mini"** enough to fit under a seat. No insects are allowed so no support cockroaches. Growling, biting or attempting to bite, jumping or lunging at people is not allowed. Those restrictions apply to passengers along with Support Animals.

2\) A reporter asked Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant "Are you spying on me." Alexa said, "I only send my audio back to Amazon when you activate me." Google Assistant put forth some blather about security. However, Google Assistant gave it away when inf orming the reporter that seeing he was eating Frosted Flakes and since they are already sweetened he shouldn't be putting extra sugar on them. When Siri was asked, "Are you spying on me the reply was, **Nope."** All right Siri!!

3\) Scientists claim there is no such thing Right Brain or Left brain. No scientific studies have proven that logical and analytical people are left brain and creative artistic people are right brain. No studies have proven that that people are dominated by either side. Also, the claim that we only use 10% of our brain is not true. We use much more. Well not everybody uses much more. It's obvious many don't even come close to using 10%.

4\) "The Great Mississippi Peach Cobbler Shootout." Logan Novascone stopped, as usual, at Joe Joe's Travel Center in Red Banks MS. The man in front of him was going off on the clerk about not enough peaches in his cobbler. Logan stepped in to defend the clerk which really PO'ed, Stanley Woodson, so he shot Logan. Logan suffered a non-fatal wound and "Cobbler Man" is charged with attempted murder. This incident proves we need sensible peach cobbler control legislation to prevent this from happening again.

5\) The latest "leak" from the Mueller investigation still doesn't claim that any Trump-Russian collusion has been found. However, according to unnamed sources, it has been discovered that Donald Trump wrote, "Wooly Bully" and Sam the Sham was undercover CIA.
