Nope. It Ain't. - 4/21/12

Getting ready to go see Meryl Streep's Academy Award winning performance in the "Iron Lady," I was curious if I could find a puzzle with her work as the theme.  In the process I learned that one English translation of  the Dutch word "streepjes" is "dashes."  Interesting, but not relevant here.  There may well be one out there, but all I came across was, from Prince Edward Island:
