Early this morning Perfesser Cosmo Fishhawk, chief reporter for The Treetops-Tattler, was arrested for refusing to reveal the source of his shocking story about the true identity of Bo, the White House dog.

Fishhawk's story, first published in The Treetops-Tattler, disclosed startling information about Bo that the White House claims is classified top-secret for national security reasons. When pressed to reveal his source, Fishhawk declined and was dragged off, kicking and screaming, to the Treetops County Jail.

Fishhawk, a 32-year veteran journalist, was then brought before a judge at the Inferior Court of Treetops where he continued his refusal to disclose and was found in contempt of court. He is being held without bond and will remain in custody until he complies.

I, P. Martin Shoemaker, publisher of The Treetops-Tattler, stand firmly behind my reporter during the crisis. I ardently believe in the First Amendment right to freedom of the press and will continue to support the Perfesser for as long as it takes… unless I find out that this is some kind of sleazy trick he's pulled to get out of work.

Feb. 1st, 2010

Under siege from irate consumers, Congress is moving to establish a Bureau of Permanent Poor Product Recall (BOPPR) to track the tsunami of broken, life-threatening and/or poisonous products now on the shelves.

“Had to recall some of those nice Japanese cars just the other week,” said Rep. Phineas T. Warranty, chairman of the House Select Committee on Broken Stuff. “Something about the accelerator pedal getting stuck. Heck of a thing.”

Experts say that product safety in the U.S. has never been better but many critics disagree. read more »
