CSI: The Zoo
Man, the Patriot Act / Homeland Security blah blah blah investigates everything:
    A clump of cloth mixed with plastic was found in the stomach of the bear, who died of surgical shock and cardiac arrest.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture will review the St. Louis Zoo's care of Churchill, a polar bear who died May 26 during surgery to remove an abdominal obstruction.

    "An investigation is just a closer look," Jim Rogers, an agency spokesman in Washington, said Friday. "It doesn't mean any laws were broken."
Man, what riveting television that would be. Who poisoned the polar bear with a plastic and cloth capsule? I suspect the shifty looking penguin.

But all mirth aside, how many tax dollars will we expend to collectively, as a society, possibly spare another polar bear the same circumstantial fate? No, don't tell me, I don't want to know.

Meanwhile, in an unrelated story, Government investigates possible case of mad cow; I suspect they're acting on a jailhouse tip from an enraged sheep.
