Obscure World News of the Week: Buffalo Wing Sauce Spill in Connecticut, Forebodes Nuclear Holocaust

Typically this involves a foreign nation, but I figured that Fairfield Street's obscure enough and that America is Gaian enough for this to qualify as obscure world news. 

A travesty, isn't it?  And an inconvenient one, I might add, considering we're currently undergoing a record-breaking shortage of the chicken wings which we would normally use to accompany this unexpected influx of wing sauce. The irony is painful; our streets are overflowing with sauce and we've nothing edible and flavor-appropriate to clean them with.

The Countdown to Atomic Disaster has begun.



<b>It's funny, because I tried posting a blog about the cholera outbreaks and medical strikes in Zimbabwe.  But the site lost what I typed, so I posted this instead.<br style="display:none" mce_style="display:none" mce_style="display:none" mce_style="display:none" mce_style="display:none" gauntlet_tokenizer_reserved=""/>

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
