Good News, Bad News

Let's start with the Good News, shall we?

• Quincy Pondexter scored a last second shot to lift the Huskies over Marquette and into the second round of the NCAA tournament.
• Sounds like a job for Night Boat - the crime solving boat... or the Department of Fish and Wildlife, who actually busted a group of shellfish poachers in Quilcene, catching them red-handed with 400 pounds of illegally obtained clams and oysters.
• Legislators in Washington's House and Senate may be close to ending the game of 'tax policy chicken' that's really just making them look a bit foolish. Not to mention unpopular. Also, it is forcing Christine Gregoire to break out the strong language, like 'dad gummit.' This is just not acceptable.

• What do you do with a drunken sailor? Whatever you do, don't try to arrest him - dude will bite you.
• Your tax dollars were hard at work when sherriffs from three counties, FBI agents and a air support courtesy of U.S. Customs failed to turn up any sign of Colton Harris Moore on Orcas Island yesterday.
• The body of 8-year-old Azriel Carver, who disappeared last week along with his mother, Shantina Smiley, was found washed up on the beach on Fox Island Thursday afternoon.
