Sometimes a feller can be too smart for his own good.
Last week Mr. Mojo was on a roll. While playing to a delirious crowd in El Paso, the president squirmed seamlessly between academy award-winning posturing for political science majors and pandering shamelessly to wannabe voters. And just when it couldn't get better, he found a new groove and taunted Republicans to drain the Rio Grande with a flotilla of alligators.
Several days later and a thousand miles east, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers took the extreme measure of opening the Morganza Spillway to divert a rampaging Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya basin. Baton Rouge and The Big Easy were spared the floodwaters, but the overflow displaced less fortunate folks elsewhere throughout south Louisiana swamplands.
But Cajuns weren't the only ones runnin' through the bayou. Alligators were in the race for newer digs, too, although they were responding to a different urgency.
Go west, young gators, El Paso is calling!
