By any other name would smell

A high-powered lobbyist who figgers, fiddles, finagles, finesses, or -- when necessary -- fricassees policies on a regular basis scoffed in a tassel-shoe wearing, two-fisted handshaking, hail fellow well met way at the Beagletown Bugle, and, by extension, the 1,000 or so faithful who come to find news and information not generally available from other sources and also news before it happens. And those who fall in by accident.

In the practiced way that lobbyists have of taking a winged tip half step back, he demisemihemiquavered and said he meant that the name and only the name was funny.

Among a variety of options formerly and formally under consideration:

The Kitsap Sun
The Lapasas Dispatch Record
The Lawton Constitution
The Twinkletown Trolly

Beagletown Bugle was clearly chosen by a wide margin among those options not subject to potential copyright infringements, according to the strict standards the readership has come to expect.
