The Yuma Episode

It's May 24th.  There's no new Arizona Daily Wildcat to mock, so it’s taken way more than 24 hours to cure my writer's block.  Time for an Arizona Podcat news update.

The No Child Left Behind Act's nutritional guidelines for K-12 public schools take effect on July 1st in an attempt to combat child obesity.  Lawmakers such as Ted Kennedy, Jerrold Nadler, Dennis Hastert, and Jim Kolbe felt that state legislatures, individual school districts, and parents "don't have enough experience with obesity" to deal with the crisis.

Meanwhile, the law also bans tortillas from being served for fear that food fights might offend Hispanics.

An Allstate Insurance study reports that Tucson is a relatively safe city for driving.  Allstate released the report to the media from its Yuma office yesterday because of its cool weather.

In other Yuma news, a local theater will be hosting the premiere of the film "Surf School."  "We figured this was the perfect place", one producer noted, "Yuma’s got so much sand, it's pretty much one big beach."  The premiere goes in parallel with multiple baseless claims that the region is "paradise", including but not limited to Paradise Pools, Paradise Cove, Paradise Casino, and a certain characterization found in the Chicago Tribune: "smuggler’s paradise."

Today's theme song is "In the Hollow" by Derek K. Miller.
