OK, I give up. What is the Moose story? If it involves a squirrel and somebody named Boris, I'll send for an instant boulder from the "Acme Rock Company."

Dear Anon: Thanks for visiting my blog! After each headline, there is a possibly hard-to-see LINK to the story. Stories on MSNBC are a little tricky; the story appears, then suddenly seems to disappear. After that happens scroll down the screen to find the story. The moose story is for real. Go, Bullwinkle! Thanks! BJ
