BP Mental Health Break: Real Bear Rescues Stuffed Bear

From AP by way of New York magazine comes word of the most adorable crime ever. A New Hampshire black bear broke into someone’s house, ate some pears, drank some water, and then rescued a teddy bear from human servitude on his way out:

According to homeowner Mary Beth Parkinson, the real bear fled when he heard the sound of her garage door going up but “grabbed a stuffed bear” just before lumbering out the door.

See? Don’t you feel slightly better already about Mac’s latest BP news?

THANK YOU.

We recently wrapped up the crowdfunding campaign for our ambitious Mother Jones Corruption Project, and it was a smashing success. About 10,364 readers pitched in with donations averaging $45, and together they contributed about $467,374 toward our $500,000 goal.

That's amazing. We still have donations from letters we sent in the mail coming back to us, so we're on pace to hit—if not exceed—that goal. Thank you so much. We'll keep you posted here as the project ramps up, and you can join the hundreds of readers who have alerted us to corruption to dig into.
