Caged Animal? Nope...It's Just A Newspaper Columnist

As detailed in this post by Pandora Young today on FishbowlLA, Orange County Register columnist Frank Mickadeit recently spent three days at the Santa Ana (Calif.) Zoo...as an animal exhibit, of all things.

The genus? Columnist Horribilis, although I'm sure I could have come up a better scientific label that more accurately reflects the sorry states of both journalism and the newspaper industry today. At the very least, it is an interesting, if not humorous and entertaining, social (read: zoological) experiment.
