Donkeys Enable Voting In Afghanistan's Remote Areas

NPR reports Donkeys Enable Voting In Afghanistan's Remote Areas "Donkeys are playing a key role in helping Afghanistan stage its presidential election. In rural areas — where roads are almost impassable — 800 of these sturdy creatures delivered polling booths and ballot boxes. The donkeys traveled rickety bridges and steep mountain trails; in some cases, helicopters dropped off the materials in the most remote regions."

The republicans in Congress will now cry foul. They will demand that elephants be used to carry ballots for the next election in Afghanistan.
