A Round Up of Sorts

After the sturm and drang surrounding the Bush speech, why not catch up on the really important news?

First it was the Chupacabra, now a hunter claims to have pictures of big foot. The Pennsylvania Game Commission says it's a bear with a really, really bad case of mange. Unfortunately, there is no picture, so you can't decide for yourself. Read it here.

Then in an already confusing campaign year, Gerald Ford endorses Guiliani from the grave, sort of. Read it here.

If you missed it, the water wars are on again. This time the combatants are Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Snippet here. Yup, there really is a water news portal.

Much to William Shatner's dismay, the new Star Trek movie will not feature Captain Kirk. Of course, he was killed off a couple of movies ago, but that's never stopped them before.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Yoda will appear on a postage stamp ,and there were red-headed Neanderthals.

One last note, tonight there was an extensive interview with Hamid Karzai which centered on the civilian deaths caused by American bombing. What network was it? Al Jazeera? No, let me see... oh, yeah, CBS on their 60 Minutes show. Can anyone explain to me what earthly good it does to publicize the deaths of Afghani civilians at the hands, or more accurately bombs, of the US?
