Muskrat Breaches Levee

Winfield, Missouri. June 27, 2008

"The furry rodent dug a hole through the earthen levee in this eastern Missouri community, allowing water to penetrate the floodwall, which failed shortly before dawn."

"With all the guns in this county, couldn't we kill a muskrat?"

Ummm, no offense, but the Army spokesperson was from the Corps of Engineers. Not a real Army corps, and not a combat organization. Missouri should have made like its northern neighbor and deployed automatic weaponry.
