??!! Headline of the Day
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 2:03 PM
It's a tough day to beat, what with all the Obama Vs. Pirates headlines, but I think this KOMO headline wins:
Spokane parks to detonate squirrels
You don't fuck with Spokane.
(Thanks to Matt Hickey for the tip.)

That is hi-larious. I couldn't imagine that headline was really accurate, but yep, they're gonna blow up squirrels.
One of the KOMO commenters suggested someone go out with a Boombox and blast the Caddyshack theme while it's happening.

The squirrel population will rebound in a year or two. An ample food source is supporting a large squirrel population.
They should cut down all of the trees in the park, and pave over all of the grass to prevent tunneling. Then finally the City of Spokane can have a peaceful place to get away from all the bustle of nature.
Squirrels are one of the main reasons to go to a park.

"To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."

@12 these are ground squirrels, less bushy tailed and more rat like. They shoot tree squirrels, don't they?

Too bad they can't figure out a way to force-feed them corn until their livers explode. That could be some pretty good eats.

"The parks department says the Rodenator is a humane way to kill the squirrels. But it warns area residents that the explosions sound like gun shots, and to not to alarmed by them all week."
Fuck yeah
Fuck yeah

You can see local coverage (to use the term loosely) and comments, and even vote on whether it's "humane" here:

As an update to the Seattle Times at 7:12 PM, it's a little late for headline of the day, but still worthy of uncomfortable appreciation:
"Washington OKs gun restrictions for mentally ill"
