Today waves of shock and tribulation echoed throughout the corridors of Washington, D.C. as the masked bandit Scooter Libby was let off the hook for his high crimes and treason! The defiant Washington Fat Cat snarled at the already beleaguered press corps, causing them to cower like scared mice in the damp cubbyholes of D.C.!

Skeptics everywhere are biting their tongues at this incredible pooch, Skipper, the dog that barks pure truth! "Bow wow" no more, scientists are saying.

The British pooch is turning heads and popping monocles with his monologues on the nature of man, life, and the universe.

"Skipper's roofs are the height of reason!" raves one scientist, frantically scribbling notes on a blackboard.

What's the word, Skip? "GOD IS DEAD!" barks the peppy wonder. He's raising such a stir that the Prime Minister himself stopped by to deliver a gift - the prized femur of Margaret Thatcher. The two played fetch for hours in Greenwich Park until the canine champion was called back to his laboratory doghouse for more work.

"He's a smashing pooch!" boasts the British bigwig, so moved by the truth that his eyes, ears, and mouth were spraying blood everywhere.

Looks like reason and wonder have gone to the dogs!
