In the state's "tabletop" flu pandemic exercise, only one Cabinet officer paid the ultimate price: Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson. Bronson had a good sense of humor about it, saying: ''The cow man gets killed off by the dadgum chicken flu. That's terrible."'
The rest, though, is no laughing matter. Read here for more.












Caputo - that is a terrible headline. Disrespectful at best.

I agree- this is news media at it's worst!!

Self indulgently grotesque. Change the headline.

Yeah, seriously - I thought the guy was actually dead. Please at least put "killed" in quotes or something to clarify that he's not actually dead.

Caputo you are trash

Agree. Horrible headline. Thought because it was the blogs and "real time" info (I use that term oh-so-loosely), that it was fact as well. Get the headline changed, editors.

Marc, I actually think you are a good reporter, but that headline is horrible. Have SOME class.

Whoa! "killed" is in quotes now in hed. Thank you to Holly for the suggestion. Thanks for the compliment, "better than you." And calm down, "Me," I didn't see your demand and ensuing insult soon enough.
