I May Have Already Blogged About Everything There Is To Blog About... Or Have I?

On March 4, 2007 I blogged about my local newspaper’s ongoing practice of labeling certain of its news articles, “Must Read”. To get the full flavor of today’s posting (that’s the one you are reading at this moment), you really ought to go back and read what I blogged about back in March ’07...

Today my newspaper has labeled a “Must Read” Article that I did read because I am required to read it because it is labeled “Must Read” and I am one to always follow instructions.

The article was not headlined with earth shaking attention getting wording like...

Hamas, While Making No Long-Term Commitments But In A Definite Show of Compassion, Pledges To Only Kill Every Other Israeli Instead Of Killing Every Israeli, As Has Been Their Previously Stated Position

Now that would be a headline that would get the world’s attention. It would certainly swing a lot of Public Opinion Holders worldwide into the Hamas camp.

Today’s “Must Read” headline is...

Utah Woman Denied Rescue After Dog Tussles With Goat

It is not a requirement of mine that you must read this Dog/Goat article, but, if you are one of those that think I make things up, you can click on the link below…

This is the part of the article that caught my attention in this bit of cracker jack news reporting... “It is a misdemeanor under local law to "attack, chase or worry" a wild animal...”

Do you see it? Do you see the word that caught the Smartfella’s attention? Of course, it was “worry”...

• How exactly does one go about worrying a wild animal?
• If the wild animal is worried, how do authorities go about determining that the wild animal was worried?
• Is the worried wild animal entitled to compensation?
• Does the wild animal know that it is worried?

If you are still reading this, you probably have not had enough of me yet. What’s that you just said? You have had enough of me? Don’t blame me it’s your fault that you are still reading. You could have gone on to something else important like Twitter but you stayed when you could have strayed.

Hope you are glad you stayed!

Would I kid u?
