Oh who am I kidding, obviously the biggest story is the Fed news...

However, for those who are looking for something else, check this out - Manitoba Mounties nab Whiteshell 'sasquatch' ...according to the article (which is courtesy of colleague Mark Fightmaster), "Mounties in eastern Manitoba have nabbed a strange, hairy monster that has been stalking campgrounds in and around the Whiteshell Provincial Park for the past two summers"...the creature? a teenager "wearing a hairy gorilla mask"...

What really set the tone for me was the subtitle - "Teen in gorilla mask frightened campers for two years"...really? A gorilla mask is all it takes to be mistaken for Sasquatch? Of course, Canada is worried that Bigfoot risks extinction so...
