Shazam! and SportsLink videos

BUCKETHEAD. Buckethead was a new concept for some of the editors this morning, RE: Isamu (Som) Jordan's column in this week's Spokane7 about the guitarist who wears a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket as a hat?

1,700 BILLS. State lawmakers go into overdrive to approve the budget and pass 1,700 bills. 1,700 bills in 60 days! Read up on where your tax dollars are going.

MONKEY. The lowdown on Chico is remains may come back from the lab in some form. And there will likely be a memorial service. Do we send flowers? asked radio reporter Dan Mitchinson, to which someone suggested we send bananas.

There's crappy weather but it's still reasonably March-like, so as of this point, no upcoming weather story. Newswise, everybody liked everything that appeared in print. Oh, and in other news, editor Steve Smith initially refused to watch this video of WSU fans talking about the game vs. the Ducks (he's a diehard Duck fan).
