To Be Announced...

This story has made the rounds of the AP as far away as Richmond, Virginia.

No words needed, but it's a nice hanging curve ball for a guy like me...

Stink patrol searches for source of Iowa Capitol odor

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Something just doesn't smell right at the Capitol — but what is causing the stink remains a mystery.

Some staffers and lawmakers have complained about a sewage-like odor. In response, a team of private engineers and building maintenance crews is trying to root out the cause of the odor, which was first noticed in January.

What? No blue-ribbon commission? They usually have to go to committee and recommend appointing board members and give them investigative powers.

While it's strongest in the back of the House chamber, some have noticed it elsewhere — such as in a second-floor ladies' room, near the first-floor employee staircase and on the ground floor near the rotunda.

Hmmm. Ladies room. Who knew?

Some speculate the foul odor may have been there all along but was masked by the smell of grilled onions and hamburgers from the Capitol cafeteria.

And the after effects of hamburgers and grilled onions...at least in my experience.

"Yes, it does stink in here. I've complained a lot — to anybody who will listen,'' said Carol Lamb, clerk for House Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames, who hasn't been bothered by the smell.

So have most constituents, but that hasn't gotten us anywhere either.

And this being so close to tax filing day...
