[for the record, i probably just spoiled the story. ^_^]

August 8, 2103 Philadelphia Inquirer [this will have appropriate news format]
Mayor Assasinated, Assistant Steps-up
Early this morning, police responding to a 911 call from Mayor ___________'s home discovered Mrs. ____________ weeping over the body of the mayor. She reported that a masked man had broken into the home and killed her husband, telling her to relay a typed note to the police and to the media. That note, reproduced here, reads
to our dear city:
today, 08.08.2103, is the day that we have begun our revolution. today, the eighth day of the eighth month of a year intolerable, is your last breath of foul air before our force clears your lungs and frees your minds from the smog of oppression.
tomorrow, you will suffer, but you will know the truth and the future will bring you comfort and freedom. our forces have begun only today, in anonymity, but you will know us and we will call to you.
ours,
the vulgar streak.


Assistant mayor Hale/Hail [i'll decide on one of these] has condemned the writers of this note, calling them killers and has already established a polices task force to find and bring to justice the commiters of this heinous crime. Assistant mayor Hail [decided?] is acting as mayor for now and will continue to do so until the elections next November. He will formally address the public in a press release to be issued later in the week.

"Well, isn't that just typical? The moment things in office start to get hairy, the mayor goes and gets himself killed. Typical!"
"Daddy, that's unfair and cruel! You read the news: he was murdered in his home. He didn't even go anywhere!"
