A Parable - Fox Takes Over Michelle Obama’s White House Garden

This is a three part story about a faux show garden, its tending by bureaucrats and un-tending because of bureaucrats and its invasion by real predators. This is Washington D.C.'s way.
It is just more Squirrels to the Nuts!  m/r

Fox Takes Over Michelle Obama’s White House Garden | FrontPage Magazine

By Daniel Greenfield On October 16, 2013 

Not that Fox. An actual fox. But we should probably still accuse it of racism and working for the Koch Brothers to be on the safe side.
Squirrels frolic in the first lady’s vegetable garden, feasting on overgrown tomato vines. Bees are left to their own devices, their waxy cells dripping with uncollected honey. The birds have a field day with plants left to go to seed. And at dusk and dawn there comes the fox, treading gingerly through the long grass of the South Lawn.
“The wildlife that lives on the historic 18-acre campus—including a newly arrived fox now making a home at the White House—are having a field day,” Kohan reports. “Thanks to the shutdown, groundskeepers have given up on their efforts to catch the elusive creature, who showed up to live inside the White House gates more than two weeks ago. [The fox] has been spotted many times at dawn and dusk” according to the White House sources she says are “highly reliable and multiple.”
And anonymous of course. Because no one in the White House will go on the record about even a fox in the South Lawn. Still everyone is making the best of it.
Toure has already gone on MSNBC and compared the fox to the return of the Confederacy.
