The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Lennar Loss, or Warnings from Target and Lowe's

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

  • A larger-than-expected loss at Lennar (LEN)...
  • A warning from Target (TGT)...
  • A warning from Lowe's Cos. (LOW)...
  • A warning from BP...
  • A potential breakup of EchoStar Communications (DISH) into two companies and the purchase of Sling Media...
  • A "green" move by Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) "to measure the amount of energy used to manufacture and distribute some of its products"...
  • Speculation [subscription required] that Microsoft (MSFT) "is in talks to buy a minority stake in the popular social-networking Web site Facebook"...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - Baboon Gang Terrorizes South African Town...according to the article, "A criminal gang being blamed for countless burglaries, thefts and vandalism in South Africa is made up entirely of baboons"..."the gang is at least 350 baboons strong"..."The creatures have learned to break into houses and to open car doors"...

Everyone thought it was funny when I talked about a looming animal uprising...just silly talk from some crazy guy...turns out I was crazy - crazy like a fox!
