• Iraqi militias began cutting back on the numbers that will appear should Dubya get his Surge. Twenty five U.S. soldiers died yesterday, one of the deadliest days of the war.
• While we weren’t looking, socialist [[Bernard Sanders]] was elected to the United States Senate. Nice play, Senator Sanders.
• The party of [[Slobodan Milosevic]] is back in power in Serbia. No matter how you shame a conservative, they just keep bouncing back and seldom change their ways. Were they using electronic voting machines manufactured by [[Diebold]] perchance?
• A rival to the [[Spruce Goose]] may be returning home to Baltimore soon. Got a million?
• Americans love to shoplift meat. I wonder if our resident criminal attorney commentator has ever had to defend one of these pilferers? I wonder if the story was as good as some of these.
• Oxford researchers are investigating the use of gambling as a means of monitoring whether an action is conscious or unconscious. Would you lay money on the results?
• Pagans showed up in [[Athens]] to celebrate the majesty of Zeus. No thunderbolts appeared in the crisp, blue sky.
