It was a scene reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh and the honey pot. A young bear was spotted in Reading, Vermont wandering about with his head stuck in an old-fashioned milk can.
Officials think the can had been used as a bird feeder because there was birdseed in the bottom, which may have attracted the young bear. Link -via Arbroath
State biologist Forrest Hammond, along with some help from firefighters and police, spent about 45 minutes Sunday afternoon getting the old fashioned milk jug off the 120-pound bear's head, according to Vermont Fish and Wildlife spokesman John Hall.
The bear was found meandering through the woods along Route 106 in Reading, bumping into boulders and trees with the milk jug stuck on its head.
Hammond had to tranquilize the bear and first tried to soap up his head and pull the milk jug off, but that didn’t work and he eventually had to use metal shears to get it loose. "He just did an excellent job of getting out there," Hall said. "It's important, too, that nobody got hurt," he said, adding that the bear was released into the wild.

The famed then 87-year-old Kazan's unforgivable crime was to have truthfully told the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in 1952 that he and eight of his friends had been fellow members of the communist party, from which he had resigned in disgust. Some of these men later admitted that Kazan told the truth. Nevertheless, until his death in 2003 at the age of 94 Kazan remained a political leper among Hollywood's politically correct.
These are same people who in October 1997 streamed into the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences in Berverly Hills to see Hollywood Remembers the Blacklist, a film glorifying unrepentant Stalinists who wanted to turn the US into another Gulag. Needless to say, these are also same celluloid intellectuals who support cop-killers and murderous dictators – but only so long as they are socialists." -- "Hollywood leftists, their blacklist and their treason", Gerard Jackson
Amazing. The leftists who have wrested control of our colleges and universities are, next to Hollywood, the greatest blacklisters of all time. They have ideologically cleansed the faculties of these institutions of conservatives while ironically making a fetish of "diversity". How utterly hypocritical for any left-wing academic to complain about "McCarthyism" and "targeting".
Gee, I wonder what would give hime that idea.

McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy were right, the communists had infiltrated our cultural institutions and had gained access to the highest levels of our government.
How sad that the apologists for the "red fascists", as George Orwell called them, continue to push the ahistorical garbage contained in this post.
Here's a protip: McCarthy was a piece of garbage who was willing to make innocent people suffer to further his own political career.
Still, the Venona papers which were released in the early 90s, while not justifying all tactics used to track down Soviet spies, do prove that there were Communist spies deep inside the US government.
