Governor Patrick assists in yearly bear count

"WHATELY -- With a tug, wildlife officials hauled the 220-pound mother bear out from beneath a log. They grabbed her coarse fur with bare hands and heaved the sedated beast up a snowy hillside to bring her to a shiny tarp, where she would get a quick checkup.

While they worked, a political contingent along for the adventure played den mother to the bear's three cubs.

"I know, I know," Governor Deval Patrick cooed to a trembling, yawping cub, while his Energy and environmental affairs secretary, Ian Bowles, stuffed a second cub into his jacket to keep it warm."


Awesome.


Addendum, thanks [info]ifotismeni:

What the bear doesn't know is that he's being eliminated due to 10% budget cuts.

If only the bear mauled him and ended our misery.

...or better yet the cubs mauled him. That would please me greatly.

Is that a zip code on our governor hat? Because all I can think is "SEE kids I know there are parts west of Worcester."

In the top picture, it kind of looks like the cub is pooping a hand. Which may explain the expression on its face.
