Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide.
In other news, kdkiep mbsjdu skskskdllfeooeloeld. You see, this summer Bossy hasn’t been very good at keeping up with the news. President O’Boyfriend, Afghanistan, Hurricane Bill, the shuttle launches, healthcare, the stock market — these are just a few of the many things Bossy can’t be smart about.
Bossy can sum up her attention to the summer news in this way: Oh Bossy’s gah, did you hear about Melanie Griffith? Rehab.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy about something that’s going on in the news? Any news. That way Bossy and her council can become up to date as they move toward September. September, which flies at Bossy like a bug to the windshield of life.
And don’t forget to check back later today for the newsiest comments on the web.
If you missed last week’s comments in ten words, click here to find out the kind of landscapes that are favored by Bossy and her council.
