YUMA, Ariz. — Suspected smugglers who tried to use ramps to drive an SUV over a 14-foot-tall border fence had to abandon their plan when the Jeep became stuck on top of the barrier, authorities said Wednesday.

Don’t know about the toad sign. But I do know about the sign PETA wants to put up in SoCal commemorating the deaths of fish killed in a traffic collision as their truck was transporting them to...many dinners.

And these people vote, too.
