Mysterious deaths, bear-baiting, etc.
1 o'clock, July 18, 2003
So on NPR this morning I hear two rather disturbing things, both of which get passed over very quickly. The first — the mysterious death of British government advisor and former UN weapons inspector David Kelly — has since been adequately reported, but the second has not been explained to my satisfaction: something along the lines of “Congress declined to ban bear-baiting on federal lands.”
Bear-baiting.
(Okay, I understand they don’t really mean bear-baiting. But still.)
Update: For some weird reason, this particular post is a prime comment spam target, so I’ve turned comments off.
Maybe they meant "bear-bathing". :)
