The Late Night/Early Morning Quickie Edition.



Cingular pulls offensive ringtone from its website; gee, I don't see how "this is la Migra, por favor, put the oranges down and step away from the cell phone, I repeat-o, put the oranges down and step away from the telephone-o, I'm deporting you back home-o" is "blatantly offensive". [sarcasm]

U.S. tipping Mexico to Minuteman patrols; as you could probably guess, it's to ensure that the Mexicans who head across the border aren't mistreated, and of course, the Minutemen aren't particularly happy about this.

White House staff schedule with details of a presidential trip to Florida found in the trash by a sanitation worker, none were shredded or burned; Washington complains about national security, and yet, this crap happens?

Follow-up to an older story: "Divine Strake" has been delayed for three weeks and is under review by the U.S. District Court in Las Vegas; "the lawsuit, filed April 20 by Reno-based lawyer Bob Hager, accuses the government of skipping public comment and failing to complete required environmental studies before picking a date and place for the explosion."

Poll shows that Americans think Bush is doing a terrible job handling major issues; how low does he have to go before we're done with him for good?

Sixteen-year-old girl suspended for singing On Top of Ol' Smokey, even though she says she wasn't singing it about her German teacher; either Dr. Carroll was upset that she didn't sing it "auf Deutsch" or this is the first time he's ever heard the teacher-shooting song that has been around for at least 30+ years. We sang that on field trips in elementary school, and our teachers even joined in...where has the nation's sense of humor gone?

New Yorkers get told to prepare for their own version of Hurricane Katrina; a hurricane hasn't hit there in years, but hey, it could happen.

Breaking news: SEC investigation of Diebold under way; it's about time...if only they could rid us of those damn machines by November.
