A its good question and Nicole Brewer is here with all the history behind it. This one goes way back. Way back, way way way back. I have to tell you. Actually takes decades to catch on. So the question, why do a donkey and an elephant represent our Political Parties . Ukee said it its a good question. Lets fine out. Why do donkey and elephant represent our Political Parties any idea. I have no idea. I have no clue. Why do we use a donkey and elephant . I have no idea. Theyve long been considered symbols of of the democratic and republican parties. Elephant is republican. Democrat, right. Even in an leck year many cant explain why. Basic idea theyre very easily recognizable. Dr. Bill roads zen berg a Political Science professor at decks dr. Sell university. Neither party sent out to find a symbol. Not necessarily the Democratic Party vote tag convention lets endorse this new logo and there was nothing that really said the republicans have to come up with an icon is the exact same time. It happened over decade. Any idea why they equated the democrats with a donkey. Am i allowed to say it . You want me to answer that. Theyre jack as. Rosenberg says the association started in 1828. As an insult Andrew Jackson the democrat running for president. He was very strong willed person so he basically took the position that he was going to own that term. Turn a negative into a positive. He actually incorporated the jackass into campaign posters. I wonder how the republicans got the elephant. 1864 the Republican Party would discover its spirit animal in an add toe lincoln.

This is National Engineers week and engineer at Lockheed Martin in moorestown are observing the week with a very unusual tra dig. They are competing in an annual contest they call fly on the wall pitting brains against duct tape. Victoria woo ill got stuck on this story. This isnt a hold up. This Lockheed Martin the place that is just serious about aerospace, defense, security and advanced technologies as they are about duck taping their coworkers to the wall. Two, one, go. Start taping. This is one of the most Exciting Events of all engineers week much this is the duct taping competition. So the teams have five minutes to tape the contestants to the wall. And theyre brightest and best are building wall mounts with an engineering eye of the tiger. Its all strategy. Were seeing a lot of interesting patterns that people are doing with the duct tape here. This is what we call the v formation here. Where they use a lot of vertical tape to provide the right amount of adhesion for the tape pee. For the true test will their ideas stick . Three, two, one. Stop taping. How are you feeling at this moment . Pretty scared. All right. The way these thing norly go down youll start hearing that adhesive on the tape separating from the wall. At that point it begins to be a business catastrophic. I may have heard just a bit coming from this side. O of the no new york city, no. Where is my spotter at. After a few drop like flys that was a good evident, guys. You cant win them all. The competition was split like a hair leaving only two teams sticking like flies on trap paper.

Notice shes not here. Shes not here. She usually sits right there. Try breaker rule whoever uses the least amount of duct tape g interesting. Very interesting. Kate, you have been tracking a big storm thats headed our way and it will be ugly. It really is. It will be pretty nasty tomorrow last week we had the severe line of thunderstorms that moved through, within damage. We can see another round of Something Like that like that tomorrow evening as this storm comes through. You never want to hope for Severe Weather if we get enough cloud cover and rain it looks like the best chance for Severe Weather will stay well off to our south likely down around the carolinas but there is still the risk that some of these storms could pack quite a punch as they move through the philadelphia area tomorrow evening mainly between 7 00 and 11 00 p. M. And well be tracking them live at this time tomorrow night it will be whole different story than the break thats happening right now. Lets take looks were going on outside. Take to you our roof cam even though we dont have heavy rain falling across the area right now, we do have some low clouds, some fog around, looking live over center city. The buildings shrowded in a little bit of fog outside. And its not great on the roads either. A lot of road spray from the rain that came down this morni morning. Light mist and drizzle overnig overnight. So expect everything to be slower than normal tonight and certainly into tomorrow morning as well. Storm scan3 clearly shows the next system headed our way. Its a very large very dynamic storm system producing showers into portions of virginia and West Virginia and as we showed you earlier, the threat for tornadoes still across the Florida Panhandle and portions of southern alabama. Storm scan3 locally not showing much but the problem up in the poconos and into Northampton County another round of light rain and drizzle heading that way. And temperatures there are just below the freezing mark. Thats going lend itself to the threat for icing as we go right through the over into the hours and into the Early Morning. 40 in philadelphia though all right in the mid 40s down in the shore points. Well see temperatures gradually rise through tonight and into tomorrow morning. So through the rest of this evening, at least until about midnight just light rain here and there as we head into the overnight and Early Morning hours, weve got a lull in the action. Clouds and drizzle around. Its wednesday evening that the worse of this storm will hit. Heavy rain, strong thunderstorms possible flooding. Thursday morning just lingering showers but still very windy. Again you see the pink shayeing threat foraying into tomorrow morning in the poconos. Then we just have showers moving in through the midday hours some of those could be intense than others. Especially starting at about noon. That will continue through the evening. And generally just light showers through the four, 5 00 oclock hour but afternoon commute will be wet. Here come this line of strong to severe thunderstorms crossing the area with very heavy torrential rainfall by 9 00 oclock moves down the shore by 10 or 11 and then by about midnight tomorrow night the worse of it is off the coast but again were looking at very strong winds and the threat for again that heavy localized flooding rainfall as we go through the afternoon. Winds could gust over 40 miles an hour in the city tomorrow evening. Possibly over 50 miles an hour down the shore and its all thanks to low level jet driving our Severe Weather risk here you can see the winds upper atmosphere 5,000 feet over 80 miles an hour and you can get those winds to mix down to the surface i am concern about the risk for wind damage with this storm. March jim risk in place especially for south jersey and delaware as this storm moves in. So generally just light rain and drizzle overnight tonight. Our low Holding Steady right about 40 degrees all night long. Wednesday 56 with periods of rain and then showers thursday morning. Very windy through the end of the week temperatures plummet late thursday it feels whole lot colder. Good news a pretty nice weekend and baaing to the mid 50s with sunshine on sunday.
