So, did anyone else notice that rank odor emanating from Vermont's capital district? The BBC News sure did today, and it's got nothing to do with Gov. Jim Douglas' announcement this afternoon that he plans to veto the gay marriage bill once it lands on his desk.

No, this foul news emanated from 7-year-old Joshua Boothe, this year's champion of the Odor Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest.
