Baboons
Couldn’t let this one slide by:
Seneca Park Zoo opened a new exhibit today that cost more than 2-million dollars! County Executive Maggie Brooks and state Senator Joe Robach helped at a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday morning marking the opening of the new baboon exhibit, part of phase two of the zoo’s “A Step Into Africa Expansion Project.”
Musta been one big, sucker ribbon to require the efforts of both Joe and Maggie! These are the photo-ops to die for, but where is the one of Maggie and the Baboon?
All we need now is to have a conservative, Mormon local radio host refer to the baboons using names of Democratic politicians!!
No, wait, sorry, ignore that, I was thinking of orangutans. Darn!
Isn’t cutting Zoo funding one of the options on Maggies Web site?
whoops- meant to say, “there is a level that she hasn’t stooped to”.
We wrote about the survey

Sorry, my mistake. Took is as a joke and did not check into it.
