Area blogger amused by headline

Mark Draughn

Some of the folks in New Zealand aren't happy with how Britain is complying (or not) with the Treaty of Waitangi which guarantees...well, I have no idea. What got my attention is one woman's rather unusual method of protesting Prince Charles' visit this week. As the MSNBC story headlines it, "Prince Charles faces bare-breasted protest." Ths link is worth checking out if only for the article's remarkable subtitle. In case MSNBC changes it, I'll repeat it here:

Topless woman, others oppose sovereignty over New Zealand

The Onion couldn't have said it better.
