Coincidence?
Hmm...
- Smelly house in South Dakota to be razed
November 7, 2006
RAPID CITY, S.D. --A Rapid City house that's filled with the stench of cats and animal waste was to be torn down Tuesday. Neighbors had complained about the foul smell, and authorities who searched the home found piles of cat waste and dead cats both inside and outside the home.
The city council declared the house a public nuisance and ordered it to be demolished.
The owner will be billed for the $10,000 it'll cost to tear it down, said Kevin Lewis, assistant city attorney.
Democrats capture House
By Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | November 8, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Democrats last night seized control of the House, riding a wave of public anger over the Iraq war, the economy, and the performance of the Bush administration to take power of the chamber for the first time in 12 years.
Well funded and relentless in their criticism of Bush and the long-ruling Republican majority Congress, Democrats knocked off incumbents once considered safe in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Indiana, and Kentucky. Late yesterday, the party also was within a handful of seats of seizing control of the Senate.
