everything's A-OK

There's a very odd story in the Post today about this guy getting arrested for killing a jogger in Connecticut. What's odd about it is that it appears that the reason that the editors of the paper deemed it newsworthy to the denizens of DC was that the murder occured on Big Bird's lawn.

To clarify, Big Bird has not been implicated in the murder. Nor has Oscar the Grouch. (Because, yes -- cover your children's ears -- Bird Bird and Oscar the Grouch are the same person!) They/he just happen to own a nice piece of private and remote land. Just right for dumping a body.

And, no, it's not on Sesame Street.
