Must be a SLOW news day the media is going bunkers over a smell

1. hard to believe that people would walk outside in New York, sniff...

...ask, "what's that smell?" and find it newsworthy.

3. ....Unless it smells GOOD

I know those are the only smells I noticed in Boston after the first month or so. I got used to the sulfurous miasma generated by manufacturing, transit, and commerce.

2. unless you live in Manhattan,

step outside and strike a match to light up a smoke.

4. You just know . . .

. . . that they are hoping against hope that it's a terrorist attack.

5. esp. if bushco is behind it

which means it's under control, and a win win win! like 911....

6. Dozens of dead birds in Austin is also getting attention.

Maybe Bush is visiting NY and Cheney is in Austin.
