Stool Pigeon - No Pun Intended

The Soviet Union elevated the development of stool pigeons to an art form, but not as performance art.  I thought of this a moment this morning when I read an article which Drudge links to under the headline Teen soils self after deputy surprises him.

It wasn’t the fact that the teen in the story soiled himself as he was caught stealing which caused me to think on stool pigeons and performance art, though, it was this sentence from the third to the last paragraph in the linked story.

“He gave up his friend,” Child said, pointing to another 16-year-old who was also arrested in the burglary investigation.

A stool pigeon complete with stool.
