Fed II Star - January 8, 2006

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

We at the Fed II Star are sometimes forced to go to extreme lengths to get our stories. Investigative journalism isn't just about sitting back and waiting for the press releases to come in; sometimes we have to get out there and interview people, worm secrets out of Government employees, even resort to a spot of breaking and entering when necessary.

And so it was that when we decided to put together a review of all the high spots of the year, we decided that the best way to get the information we needed was to go straight to the top and get it from the horse's mouth. Not that we are implying that Bella is a horse, of course, that was just a figure of speech!

So we sneaked into her palatial mansion and had a snoop around. Nice underwear, I must say! Then we installed a tap on her computer so we could access it at our leisure from the comfort of the Fed II Star offices. Which we did, and we found the complete documentation of all the things she did to the Fed universe last year. Unfortunately, in the process of downloading this, she discovered our hacking and cut us off in mid-byte, so what we ended up with ran from the beginning of March to the end of December. We were forced to go back through the Star archives for details of what happened during January and February, which entailed a bit more work. Still, when we put all the information together, we ended up with the Review of the Year. Read and enjoy.
