At the Annual Boy Scout's of America Jamboree in somewhere in Virginia, four scout leaders were burned to death when the tent they were pitching caught on fire. According to MSNBC.com, "the deaths cast a somber mood on the jamboree."
The four men were hoisting a large large pole in order to erect the massive dining tent when the rod escaped their control and fell into a power line, igniting the conflagration. It is against Boy Scout protocol to pitch a tent beneath powerlines.
The next day, while awaiting President Bush's arrival in heat that reached the upper 90s, three hundred scouts succumbed to heat exhaustion. The President decided to delay his visit.
I am unsure whether or not to conclude this blog entry with some sort of punchline.
