Early Morning Quickie.

Graduates at New School Heckle Speech by McCain. College graduates that think for themselves...a definite threat to the GOP.

Some Ships Get Coast Guard Tip Before Searches. Kind of defies the purpose of "surprise" searches, don't you think?

New Orleans Race For Mayor Is Tight. Who will be the next mayor of the "Chocolate City"?

"Da Vinci Code" Sparks Outrage and Ennui. Don't people get the point that their protesting keeps this movie in the news and will make it an even bigger success? Howard, Hanks, and cast say, "Thanks," and see $$$$.

Four Men Cleared of Terrorism Links but Still Detained. Cleared and innocent, yet still in prison. You have to love the U.S.'s fine gulag legal system.

Deaths of Out-of-State Evacuees Raise Katrina Toll. Hurricane Katrina death toll raised by 281 Friday to 1,577. This will go down as one of the biggest, most inhumane missteps of any presidency ever.

Growing Number of GOP Seats In Doubt. Forty-two Republican districts are now competitive races. Danger of revolt against incumbent Republicans in Congress and a political landslide similar to 1994 losses by Democrats now highly possible.

Military Prison's Closure Is Urged. I, the U.N., and most of the free world would love our version of Nazi Germany, Communist China, Russian prisons--Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to close. It's sad to think this country used to stand against human rights abuses like this, and now it's one of the world's most heinous rights abusers.

PoliticalCorrectness? out.
