FEMA NEWS NOT FAKED

FEMA NEWS: Colbert, King, running mates on the 2008 presidential ticket, are not standing still for FEMA programs. Of course, this acronym, FEMA, is for FEEDING EVERY MALE ALPACA and our guys have supported FEMA for all of their lives (and for their friends in America and elsewhere). Even so, the world's most famous two alpacas will not stoop to holding faked FEMA news releases even when they take Paca Paca USA's highest offices. "We believe that female alpacas should at least be cared for and fed as much as males," said Stephen Colbert, the alpaca presidential front runner. "Ditto that!" added running mate B, B. King

KING OF THE BLUES: B. B. KING WILL DYE

True enough, B. B. King is "King of the Blues" when it comes to dying alpaca fleece. "His pure white fleece is easily dyed deep blue, azure, robin egg, or turquoise and any other shade..." claims true Black alpaca Stephen Colbert when asked about his running mate. "B. B. King and Blues go together better than blues guitars and harmonicas," he added. B. B. King said "I'll never be red---and you can quote me." B. B. KING the alpaca is luxurious and knows how to "play an audience," being seen in an eleven state tour with Stephen Colbert, in person or by TV viewing and news reading audiences numbering over six million during September and October, 2007. They were on the road promoting NATIONAL ALPACA FARM DAY. Some asked "B. B. King...when will you dye?" Colbert took the stage and replied, "It's not a question of whether B .B. King will dye or not, it's simply a matter of what color will he dye best." When asked directly, B. B. King sings "The Blues!"

New Police Chief meets the boys

PETERSBURG, Virginia's newest and finest police chief came to visit the sheriff and ran into the boys sampling the grass.­ There were no KEEP OFF THE GRASS signs, and they stayed on their leashes.­.­.­.­so it was a most pleasant meeting.

Cautious Sheriff

The Sheriff doesn't take any chances with animals any larger than parakeets but she welcomed the world famous visitors to Petersburg and even suggested a few historic places to see.­ Colbert and King appreciated the time spent and the information given.

Raleigh, NC visit

Throughout North Carolina there are so many historic markers, plenty to do with the start of American medicine.­ By the capital building there are several commemorating pharmaceutical groups and discoveries.

Touring the former Governor's Mansion

BB King examines the brick sidewalks carefully, looking to trim weeds or grass from between the bricks to help keep thing tidy.­ Stephen Colbert the alpaca and presidential candidate for PACA PACAS USA, takes on a more stoic pose when at political places.

Greensboro grass

Just making sure the grass is trimmed here and there to help keep the old governor's mansion in good shape in Greensboro, NC

Bunker Hill Covered Bridge was fun to go through

A small but once very useful covered bridge that has well over a hundred years of North Carolina history associated with it.­ Very nice stroll across the creek and walk to and through the bridge.­.­.­not very far off the main roads.­ Delightful rest and picknick area.

Chimney Rock area parking

Here is the only place on our more than 6000 mile tour where the boys were asked to leave.­ The Mayor actually came over to have the animals moved from the grass.­ It appears that she had tremendous fear that the boys would set a bad example for other animals, and then where would Chimney Rock, North Carolina be???? Maybe it's much more fragile than it first appears.­ WATCH OUT FOR FALLING ROCK!!!

gO gaTORS???? Sis BOOM bah

Waltherboro.­.­.­land of dueling fireworks companies,.­.­.­where the boys checked out a giant gator statue waving a Grond Old American Flag all night long.­ Stephen Colbert was heard humming ".­.­.­and the rocket's red glare.­.­.­, the bombs bursting in air,.­.­.­" BB King was thinking "Now here's a great place to have a gas station.­"

Flower Power Lives!!!

We really enjoy wild flowers wherever they appear.­ Along some highways, there are wonderful stretches of flowers, some red, some purple, some yellow, some delicious.

Oh deer, oh deer

Yep, this here deer and others somethin' like it, need to watch out real good hereabouts cause some of the fellers are damned good shots.­.­.­there's lots of bullet holes in this wall, so ya know they can hit the broad side of a barn.­ Alpacas need to tred careful and run fast.­.­.­just in case a hunter has been mixing alcohol with his shotgun shells.­ Actually, this here's a good place for shells, hunting license, beer, and gas.­.­.­.­plus indoor bathroom and some fried chicken.­ What more could one want?

Howsyer Willacoochee hangin'?

We had to visit the Willahoochee, Georgia Chamber of Commerce.­.­.­figuring that it and Tifton, Georgia should at least have a "brother relationship" through the railways.­ The Chamber rolls!!!!

Never quite know what to expect on this or that road or highway, but we like Chambers of Commerce and we like educational as well as historic sites.­ This Chamber of Commerce certainly peaks one's curiosity, doesn't it? As you visit Willacoochee, let them know ya saw this blog.

THE VIEW OF STEPHEN COLBERT

When traveling in South Carolina, Stephen Colbert the alpaca maintained a great view out of his campaign vehicle, stopping in various cities and ending his first campaign trip in Charleston. Colbert, Edwards, and B.B. King seem to feel "at home" whether in the cotton fields, corn fields or cannon batteries of South Carolina, and each will make their marks during this election run, with Colbert able to run approximately 35 mph, running well ahead of Edwards at this time. Before, during and after running, Colbert the alpaca declares that his "hair" looks better than candidate John Edward's hair any day of the week. Being frugal, Colbert's "hair cuts" are once per year at a $30 cost, not a $400 cost and needing regular trimming. "Hair cut management shows how frugal and budget conscious a president may be, "declared Colbert, promising to trim the national deficit when he becomes the next president. "I will not fleece America as others have done."

Alpacas waiting for Al Packer

When you are on the go, go with Al Packer.­.­.­
Stephen Colbert the alpaca reads the Welcome Mat.

Everyone pose for the shot, alpacas at Al Packer's

Hmmmm, got to make a selection here at Huber's Farm

B B King checks out pumpkin choices for Halloween.

Flustered with pumpkin choices, BB King asks for advice from Stephen Colbert.­ They want to carve faces that will scare alpaca angels,.­.­.­faces like Ron Paul's and Dick Cheney's.

Colonial Williamsburg horses are "seeing things.­"

Stephen Colbert and BB King visited Colonial Williamsburg where several thousand tourists took their pictures amid the historic American dwellings and shops.­ The boys loved the sights and sounds, met horses and oxen, wandered into shops and yards.

Making friends in Williamsburg

Our heroes meet some of the nicest people, especially a few who want to take them back home.

Wandering around Patterson Park in Baltimore

Colbert and King tour historic Patterson Park which has elevations that overlook the Inner Harbor and areas of East Baltimore where troops were positioned for The Battle of 1812.­ The "first blood" of America's Civil War was drawn in a street fight near this area.

General Casimir Pulaski is touted as "Hero of the American Revolution" and "Father of the American Calvary" and honored by Baltimore naming Pulaski Highway after him as well as a major historic monument past this bench where the boys roamed in Patterson Park.

Colbert and King enjoy lunch at Carl's Little House in Pigtown, very near The Ravens' and The Baltimore Orioles' Camden Yards sports complex.­ Carl's has delicious stuff.­.­.­from breakfast through dinner, and very cold drinks.

We always visit Carl's when passing through Baltimore, to see the magnificent improvements taking place throughout the inner city areas.­ Some home renovators are doing well with century old rowhomes, making them very appealing to Baltimore sports minded folks who want in-­the-­city places to hang out before or after games.­ Pigtown has had its share of characters ever since it was a major route for farmers to bring livetock up to BUTCHER'S HILL where it was "processed.­"

The Daily Grind is Great

Colbert and King look for Baltimore Casting Director Pat Moran in The Daily Grind coffee house in Fell's Point near where many films and episodes of HOMICIDE were shot for years.­ The two famous alpacas were hoping that Pat would cast them for feature films or maybe in a Director John Waters or Director Barry Levinson play or film.­ Two cappacinos to go, please!

PRESIDENTIAL DIALOGUE SERIES

Colbert the alpaca insists "Humans interested in owning alpacas, even if just for the large annual tax write offs, take time to visit some alpaca farms like this one in Frewsburg, New York. It's a PACA PEOPLE USA farm that is also THE SURI ALPACA SMALL FARM OF THE YEAR where more than sixty alpacas can be seen as the owners, Pete and Ev, tell about it. King and I enjoyed our visit during NATIONAL ALPACA FARM DAY 2007. Some of my best friends live here."

PRESIDENTIAL DIALOGUE SERIES

"Hmmmmm, a lot needs to be improved across America, and education, especially historical perspectives that return a sense of patriotism to us all, needs to be a priority!" hums presidential hopeful Stephen Colbert. "Like Al Gore has done for awareness of the environmental issues, I will release a film that helps Americans be better informed about our roots and ideals, recapturing some of what once made us a
unified force for freedom with voices for goodness."

COLBERT'S POSITION IS LOCKED IN

When asked, "What's your position on...(whatever topic...war in Iraq, gay marriages, global warming, llamas, dollies, catastrophic events,...)" our clever candidate, Colbert the alpaca, answers honestly with "Latitude: 27.4417162844096 | Longitude: -81.2399482727051" "He is the only candidate who is truly outstanding in his field and who knows exactly where he's at." declares running mate B. B. King. "It's entirely true, I am with him most of the time and have just about the very same position as Stephen." echoed Bocelli, another Alpaca Angel located in the center of Florida at The Farm of Eden.

FIRES IN CALIFORNIA

ATTENTION: STEPHEN COLBERT, B. B. King and all of the Alpaca Angels of The Highlands, LLC and all the member farmers of PACA PEOPLE USA are taking time to pray for the well being and safety of firefighters, National Guard, Red Cross and other volunteers and for the people and animals of California during the horrific fires. We are bolstered by the community efforts and by that of our government through this time of great need. We suggest that all Americans do what they can to aid our people, animals and land in California. We have member farms near San Diego with alpacas, and trust that they will be safe through it all and help lead recovery efforts soon. Thank you!

LAKE PLACID'S MAYOR THOMAS A. KATSANIS VISITS COLBERT & KING

While waiting to pick up 40 bags of feed this evening, there were knocks at the door. We greeted Bob and Harriet Porter of The Lake Placid, Florida "Mural Society" which initiated and continues the splendid wall murals of "The Town of Murals." They had brought an interesting friend, Mayor of Lake Placid, Florida, Mr. Thomas A. Katsanis. He was interested in learning about our alpacas and in meeting the two world famous ones, Stephen Colbert and B. B, King, that made the month long historic journey up to Lake Placid, New York and back during the celebration of NATIONAL ALPACA FARM DAY week (and longer). Mayor Katsanis was very interested in hearing all about The journey and the amazingly wonderful reception given the two alpacas in New York's Olympic Village setting high among the Adirondacks. He found that the we shot the journey with two high Definition Video Cameras and visited many cities, towns, historic sites, and beautiful places, viewing as though through the eyes of our Alpaca Angel Agents 007 (Colbert) and 99 (King). After touring The Farm of Eden and seeing how we manage the herd and after meeting the two heroic alpacas, the Mayor was given a number of news articles from several papers that did stories and photos related to the round trip journey. The Town Council of Lake Placid, Florida and the Chamber of Commerce and The Mural Society are working together to bring about the dialogue and whatever proclamations necessary to co-create a permanent "sister city" relationship with Lake Placid, New York. We appreciate his visit and that of the Porters, wishing the many friends we have in both terrific towns the very best of success in this historic endeavor. May God bless our Lake Placids.

COLBERT OFFERS CAMPAIGN ASSISTANCE TO COLBERT

Presidential Candidate cva Stephen Colbert the alpaca offers to help his namesake, Presidential Candidate Stephen Colbert the host of THE COLBERT REPORT...be recognized and promoted throughout South Carolina by visiting various towns and cities before the primaries take place. Colbert the alpaca has already given the fleece off his back to help Colbert the actor/comic and is willing do do more along with this PAC
(Political Alpaca Committee) composed of alpaca friends, B. B. KING, BOOMER TIMES, and EZBUCKS.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COLBERT WITHOUT TIM RUSSERT

Candidate cva Stephen Colbert the world famours alpaca, did not have time to be interviewed by political journalist Tim Russert. After Colbert the alpaca sent Stephen Colbert--the other Presidential Candidate, 100% super soft black alpaca fleece right off his back, made into a scarf and a pair of socks, he is waiting for a courteous
response. Candidate Stephen Colbert the tru black alpaca running for president of Packa Pacas USA, used some of his PAC (Political Alpaca Committee) funds to send the actor and Presidential Candidate Stephen Colbert, the scarf and socks to help ward off the cold of New York winters. Who or what else has given the actor-candidate the "shirt" off their back to help out????

COLBERT WINS PRESIDENTIAL BID

Candidate cva Stephen Colbert announced that he is running for President and has won the unanimous support of "The American Alpaca Party." This major endorsement is sure to carry him on the tickets of more than the traditional two parties. His running mate, BB King, is humming aloud these days with confidence, saying "We are 'Party
Alpacas,' meaning that we love to party and will do so whenever we have an invitation." King went on to praise his buddy, Candidate Colbert, saying "Stephen is a True Black candidate, related to Gen Schwartzkopf, Guy Lombardo and Chaka Kahn."

It's true, alpaca scholars have checked with Alpaca Registry, Inc. and what King says about Colbert is absolutely true. Now that "Truthiness" is what American politics needs at this time. Candidate Colbert's campaign team offeres a new slogan for their man after dropping the once popular "WE WILL FLEECE YOU." Instead, they want to help make America stronger and reflect that with 'HUGS AND HUMS---INVEST IN INSURABLE ALPACAS."

"Clever Colbert," as close friends call him, reports "We all can use a good hug and know that we are safe." He added, "I have ways to make Americans snuggle up again and ways to help them feel secure." We are sure he does. More to come! In a gesture of good will, Colbert sent satirist/comic Stephen Colbert true black alpaca socks and a 100% hypo-allergenic black alpaca scarf to help that Presidential Candidate stay warm and cozy throughout his campaign. "Wear them well and best wishes for your success," said Colbert the alpaca.

COLBERT ANNOUNCES RUN FOR PRESIDENCY

A few nights ago, cva STEPHEN COLBERT was on television, and prepared to announce his run for the presidency. Headlines that night would have screamed large bold letters everywhere reading 'COLBERT ANNOUNCED RUN FOR PRESIDENCY' or things like 'COLBERT DECLARES AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE' or more simply "COLBERT, AMERICA'S CHOICE."

He cleverly waited after announcing his decision to definitely or more than likely decide about confirming that he might announce. We say, "GOOD CHOICE, COLBERT." and continue issuing that salute to our hero, wanting to encourage him further. cva STPEHEN COLBERT then actually declared his candidacy for PRESIDENT...and it was echoed by his "running mate," aah B B King. Truth is, they are ALPACA ANGELS OF THE HIGHLANDS, and special emissaries for both Lake Placid, New York and Lake Placid Florida---two tremendous towns with many connections to each other (especially through Melville Dewey of "Dewey Decimal System" fame.) These alpaca angels just completed more than 6,000 miles in surveying the populations along the Eastern Seaboard, testing out whether they would stand a chance or not for the highest offices.

"It looks good for us, especially for me.!" quipped COLBERT in between hums. "I trust that Stephen Colbert of THE COLBERT REPORT has as good a run as we are sure to have. The KING and I really enjoyed touring Charleston, South Carolina, and even were invited to join a lovely couple from Columbus, Ohio as their wedding photos were being taken in the elevated gazebo overlooking the historic waterfront battery of
cannons."

COLBERT, KING INTERVIEW

And of course, NATION, we are talking about the world famous alpacas with cva Stephen Colbert discussing with his campaign advisor and travel companion,aah BB King, about plans to run, with all four legs, in 2008, for the PACA PACAS USA national presidency...which just recently opened up for all alpacas owned by PACA PEOPLE USA member farms.

While traveling on the campaign trail, some 6400 miles so far, with visits to The Capitol Building in Washington, DC and to various state capitals such as Columbia, SC, Raleigh, NC., Richmond, VA, Trenton, NJ and Albany, NY, Stephen Colbert was unstoppable in his quest to soon declare his run for president. "Colbert is a timely force for the Presidency," hummed the delightful King during a recently televised (at The Farm of Eden) interview. "Colbert expects to announce this run for President formally, not just in Charleston, SC, but in Ocala, FL as well.

"I'm truly American and I represent American alpacas from their births onward. They need a spokes alpaca, a hero, a champion...to help stave off the stigma of having immigrant parents from Peru, Chile and other South American countries." hummed our hero, Colbert to King.

King ended the interview with "Colbert for President? Hmmm!"
(We at the network feel that there will be more of this banter in the near future. Stay tuned for COLBERT AND KING, more to come.)

Big News Flash!!

Lake Placid New York, the Olympic City, has honored the alpaca emmissaries from Lake Placid, Florida by awarding cva Stephen Colbert-the alpaca and his traveling buddy, aah B. B. King--the alpaca, OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS.

Jim, the President of Lake Placid, NY's Chamber of Commerce and Margarette, handed the awards to Chuck Domm to place them around his alpacas necks in a brief but important ceremony in front of the 1932 HQ of the OLympic Games. Then the world famous alpacas went to the site of the Olympic Ski Jumps and were photographed by Lou, a crack photographer for local and regional news in Lake Placid.

The world famous alpacas also wore their Olympic Gold while visiting, Mike and others, nearby at The Cornell University Maple Syrup Research Facility on Bear Cub road before moving on to the site of famous abolishionist John Brown's Farm where roving black bears were spotted.

Now it is on to Medford, NJ where they will spend the night and then go toTrenton, NJ and Philadelphia, PA before going to Wilmington, DE and back into Baltimore, MD for a friend's funeral service. Afterwards they will return to Washington, DC and then at special request to Williamsburg, VA to spend a night before going to Davisboro, GA (to see Custom Milling) where their alpaca food supplements are produced.

More News From The Tour!

Stephen and BB set out to view scenic overpasses in the highest of South Western New York Allegany Mountains and visited a few peaks to watch leaf changes taking place. We got great video high up but even better along the shores of the Allegany River as it winds through Seneca and Iriquois lands where dear and bear still run in abundance. Believe we heard a black bear about 100 feet from our position so we raced to the van. BB won!

Continued on to Cuba, NY where the greatest cheese in America is made at the Cuba Cheese Factory. Outside are two Gurnsey cows as statues that Stephen and BB stayed next to with a few of the Cuba Cheese folks for photos.

Then we went to view the great McKinney horse barn...a most magnificent barn built in 1906, hundreds of feet long and beautiful with sprawling grounds nestled in the mountainous valley of Cuba. We found the offices of the Allegany News, The Patriot, on Water Street and stopped by for photos and probably a story of our travels.

Then it was on past the Seneca and Iriquios Casinos and we took time to stop at the museum before heading to Almond, NY to shoot, Wendy and Bill, the fine folks at The Fleece Factory. They showed Stephen and BB how the alpaca fleece is processed from arriving as shorn fleece, being cleaned and washed, dried and processed into various
spools or skeins for knitters to make use of in turning alpaca fleece into sweaters, socks, hats, scarfs, blankets, slippers and so much more.



En route to YBNormal Farms, going West again, we shot the setting sun scenes along the Allegany River as it meandered through the multicolored forests of the mountains with Canadian geese flying in wedge formations above, heading mostly south, with gaggles from four to forty geese honking their way through the mountain passes before
the first snows hit.

In the morning we are expecting over a hundred bales of good hay to be stored in the century old barn at YB Normal Alpaca Farms in Frewsburg,NY. We will shoot it all as the truck comes in at first light, then we are shooting how to inject alpacas with specific deworming medications, weigh the newborns, and work with some championship
fleece blankets.

There are so many truly beautiful locations to shoot for our documentary...and we are heading up through Buffalo before going over to Albany, NY and into Clifton Park. Once there, we will go into the awesome Lake Placid area to try to make friends and complete at least half of our mission for encouraging Lake Placid, NY folks to accept
Lake Placid, FL as their little "sister city." We also came from Jamestown, VA to Jamestown, NY on this trek.

Video Update from The Green Rancher

An update from the tour...

The trip so far has been excellent, making lots of new fans and taking lots of pictures and video.
Thank you to everybody for all the encouragement. There has been an overwhelming amount of support as ten of thousands of pictures have been taken during the first part of the tour. We will give further updates as time permits.
