The real question: Is the MPAA rolling in so much dough that they can afford to send "contract employees" to a random movie theater in Lee's Friggin' Summit, Mo.? Who are they, and how do they catch the evil terrorist bootleggers? Now that would be a report I'd watch.

Probably a slow news day.

WEST DOVER, N.S. _ Nova Scotia Power crews rescued a cat that spent four days just centimetres from 12-thousand-volt power lines. _

The utility fielded about 35 calls over the four days the cat named Boxer was perched on top of the pole, in West Dover near Peggy's Cove.

After several people tried to coax the cat down, power was shut off and a technician went up in the boom of a truck with treats in hand.

He scooped up the frightened feline and brought him down to safety.

Agreed. That's the real story. How many of these "contract employees" are hired by the MPAA, and how widespread is this program?
