Vermin Alert

State Dept. Issues Mouse Warning:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- As if the State Department didn't have enough to worry about with Iran, Iraq and the French: the onset of cooler weather in the capital has prompted a mouse alarm.

The department issued a warning Monday in its main building, saying that "increasing numbers of mice and their larger cousins" were set to launch their annual search for warm lodging and food.

Wait, Mr. Powell... those are no rats! That's the Saudi Ambassador and his staff! Didn't you remember your 11AM lunch appeasement, er...appointment with them today?
