Ok, so I have been avoiding the news for the last couple of weeks, trying to keep away from all of the Super Bowl related hype. (No, I do not care even a little bit about the Seahawks, but I’m trying not to rain on anyone’s parade.) But today, there are two news items that I just can’t not comment on.

First, of course, is the fact that our bestiality laws are back in the news. Or anyway, our lack thereof is. I don’t really care about that either, as the topic has already been pretty much exhausted, but what I do enjoy is this quote, from Pam Roach: “People are coming from out of state to do this here. We don’t need to have a mecca here for abusing animals. [P-I].”
I’ve never even considered a trip out to Enumclaw as an option for entertaining my out of town guests, and I’m going to avoid all of the possible zippy slogans that the Washington State Tourism Board could make out of that. But honestly, are we really concerned that any such sort of “mecca” is possible? Please.

Also of interest (to me) is the mysterious naked man that was killed by a car up by Snoqualmie Pass [komo]. Why was he standing in the road naked at 4 a.m.? It’s very cold outside. Was the dead dog his? Did he hit it? Is this somehow connected to the above lack of legislation of certain recreations, and had the man been scorned? It’s the sort of mystery that needs a Nancy Drew to figure it out.

That’s all I’ve got for you, folks. Now it’s time for me to go back to my media blackout.
