Ticker Time
Not much in the news today... unless you want to listen to the talking heads preening.
General:
General:
- Univision had higher ratings than Fox in the first week of single panel ratings. Lovely. Just lovely. Where'd my country disappear to?
- LA County thinks they know how to curb the obesity epidemic- keep new fast food restaurants from being built. Oh, yeah... that'll take care of it. We'll all be Kate-Moss-thin in no time.
- It's one (sick, pathetic) thing to have Neo-Nazi groups in the States. It's an entirely different thing to have them in Israel.
- Will this get parents to pay more attention to their children? Probably not.
- The Pope isn't going to make many friends in the WHO if he keeps saying stuff like this.
- Oh, yip. Another video. We're shaking in our boots... really...
- Dodd joins the list of Presidential wanna-bes who are convinced that the way to our hearts is through Cuba.
- Dems wandered over to Univision to pander for the Hispanic vote. Richardson had a good point- if it's on a Spanish language station, why weren't they allowed to speak Spanish?
- Al Gore is being attacked for being an omnivore. I wonder if you can buy carbon offsets for that...
- The Clintons might be behind several break-ins? Say it isn't so.
- Hurricane scientists get it wrong. Again. (And in other news, the sky is blue, bears have outdoor plumbing, and the Pope wears a funny hat.)
- This is just scary. (Press conference says it's a "grade 2 sprain".) I don't want to make light of it, but... does the headline "Bills' Everett has emergency neck injury" sound as stupid to everyone else as it does to me? Thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin.
- This steroids scandal is just getting bigger.
- I'm guessing this town owns stock in a breath mint company, right?
- Britney bombed at the MTV awards. (Reports say she looked sedated. That's new?)
- Wednesday won't be a very productive day in Russia... on the job, at least.
