Nut Cases & Nuthatches

After considerable thought, it is obvious to The Swami that there are not enough sources of 24/7 news available. This is the result of long and logical thinking while imbibing fermented yak milk. Specifically, there are not enough unbalanced sources of information, so where better to get your unbalanced news than Yak Herder Central?

Why go to one of the networks or The Drudge Report and be overloaded with stories when you can concentrate on just a couple of tidbits or even occasionally, like today, a groundbreaking scoop.

Drawing on our nutwork, uh, network of confidential sources we have discovered the explosive revelation that Reprentative Mark Foley had a long-running cybersexual relationship with North Korean Madman [that is his complete, official, title] Kim Jong Il. It was apparently in the middle of one of those interactions that Kim fell off of his chair and accidentally hit his nuclear button.

Staying with news from North Korea, bird lovers will be interested to know that there have been sightings of several pairs of nesting Eurasian nuthatches living in Kim Jong Il's hair.

According to a search of our records, as well as a strip-search of Swamette, this is the first recorded instance of a nuthatch nesting on a nutcase.
