Not Your Average Bear

The Featured Instigator (who's on his way to a promotion, if we can decide on an appropriate title) points us to this story in the Boston Globe, which he thinks (and we agree) is soon to become a commercial...

Rain-eeeeer .... Bear? When state Fish and Wildlife agents recently found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby -- dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.

The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.

"He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer," said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mount Baker.

Fish and Wildlife enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said the bear did try one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. "He didn't like that (Busch) and consumed, as near as we can tell, about 36 cans of Rainier."

One wonders why this story appears at Boston.com... until you realize that it's just another example of liberal news bias manifesting itself. Why is news media so eager to report a story of a bear disgusted by Bush?
