Penguin Poops on Kentucky Senate

Paula, the African Blackfooted penguin, gives a shit about Kentucky politics.

The Kentucky Senate floor faced an awkward situation we all have to deal with at some point during the day – a penguin pooping on a very important person’s desk. On Tuesday, the Senate honored the Newport Aquarium (located near Cincinnati, Ohio) for its work with the penguins and other animals. Its main attraction, “Penguin Palooza,” has attracted multiple tourists throughout the US and has the “second most diverse collection of cold-weather penguins in the country.”

Paula, the badass penguin, was visiting the Kentucky Legislature as part of the resolution honoring the popular aquarium. As Republican State Senator Katie Stine was in the middle of thanking the Newport Aquarium “for its contributions to the ecology of our world and the economy of Kentucky”, Paula figured it was a great time to show the Senate just how much she appreciated the resolution.

Stine’s praise of the aquarium was then interrupted by Senate President David Willams, who asked her, “Are you talking about the penguin that just defecated on the floor?” Stine in turn replied, “Actually, senator, I believe that’s your desk.”
