If a bear fell from a tree in suburban New Jersey...

... would anybody hear it?

The same thing happened to me. There I was, looking in some lady’s window, she screams, I climb a tree, they shoot me down into a net. Weird, huh?

Why is Ann posting about this instead of the Scooter Libby trial? Not only is this a distraction from the real story of corruption in the White House, one can infer from this post that she condones the beatings of detainees in the Global War On Terror. And you know that when she's cornered, she's going to be all, "I didn't say that I think bears should be shot." Give me a break. And what does she know about New Jersey, anyway? She's in Madison. Just another case of rethuglican conservitard nonsense. Go bears, go! Don't let them silence you!

peter, I think this story is more interesting than the bear. So I blogged about it. If you want to talk all things Libby, here is a good place to start.

Next Ann is going to say that the bear was asking for it, posing in the tree that way.

Bissage: the winnah!!! Funny stuff, man. I will steal that line, to be sure.

I just thought this was another post about a Carly Simon song.

Would be a cute story, but the bear showing up at her window is a result of her and millions of other Americans living in what used to be forest and a home for the bear. Have jews show up at their old house where Nazis are now living and peer into the windows. Cute story right?

"...a 211-pound bear."

That's suspiciously accurate. 'A 200 lbs bear' I could live with as journalistic truthiness, but where did that extra eleven come from? The dart?

Something fishy about the whole tale. Who weighs falling bears - apart from Germans of course.
