Initially, it got my attention because the title began with the words "The Lede". Once I read the lede, it was so unusual and amusing that it made me want to read the rest of the blog. The lede stated, "To thwart attacks by militant humans or hungry animals, India has deployed 100,000 security guards and 38 monkeys to secure venues in New Delhi ahead of the start of the Commonwealth Games this weekend." That being said, Robert Mackey, the blogger, could delete the beginning passive clause from the lede and just write, "India has deployed 100,000 security guards and 38 monkeys to secure venues in New Delhi ahead of the start of the Commonwealth Games this weekend." That would cover the who, where, what, how, and when by itself.
There wasn't a lot more information in the blog, but it was a fun, light-weight diversion in the midst of all the serious news. So, thought I would share.
