#6 I was kind of hoping for both a "crime & punishment" and a "stupid human tricks" to go with "stupid animal tricks", though I guess the latter two could fit into a "State legislature" section.

IMPORTANT - A lot of local news webpages do not clearly state *where* they are. They use some catchy but meaningless handle like "The best news in the bi-State metro area".

Maybe hidden at the bottom of their page is some link that will hint at what their State might be, but it is extra annoying when they should say, "Nebraska" or "Pittsburgh" or whatever.

So if you post a local news item from somewhere where it isn't obvious or doesn't say, throw in a simple header before the text, like:

TEXAS - Chili cook-off kills 47 rabid javalinas, local mayor says "Dayamn! Now that thar's some real rabid javalina-killin' chili if I ever done see some rabid javalina-killin' chili! An' I have!.."
