Hey Baby, wanna see a gas mask?

Stop the Press!! Who is that? Vicki Vale.
Crazy stuff is happening in Fargo, ND...land of the broad-shouldered people.

(see entire story)[registration req'd]


A Secret Service agent was sent home after getting drunk at a bar the night before President Bush appeared in Fargo on Thursday, police said Monday.

Authorities were initially called to the Fargo Holiday Inn at Interstate 29 and 13th Avenue South after a gas mask was left behind at the bar.

About the time officers arrived, someone set off two fire alarms at the hotel, Fargo Lt. Tod Dahle said. Police suspect the agent set the alarm off.

"It was some very odd behavior," Dahle said.

The gas mask apparently fell out of a duffel bag the agent had accidentally left at the bar, Dahle said.

"Security was obviously concerned that someone had a gas mask ... with the president coming the next day," he said.

A hotel guest believed that someone matching the agent's description was setting off the fire alarms, Dahle said.

The incident happened Wednesday, the day before Bush spoke in front of 8,000 people at North Dakota State University's Bison Sports Arena.

I had that Batman song in my head yesterday. Creepy. And yes, you idiots, you're the only ones carrying around gas-masks. Next someone is going to find a secret service badge and black suit and earpiece in a hotel room, and eventually realize it's HIS hotel room.
