The Morning Quickie.

(A quick note to our readers: the first weekend in June, we'll be moving back to our home state to be closer to family, so over the next two weeks our updates may be a little sporadic as we plan, pack, move, and etc. We appreciate your understanding and patience!)

Charles Gibson Named Sole Anchor of 'World News Tonight'; Elizabeth Vargas will be away on maternity leave and will return to other programs in the Fall, and according to Matt Drudge's ABC News sources, ABC is doing this purposefully to get him going before Katie Couric starts at CBS. The evening network news race begins soon.

Country radio nixes Dixie Chicks; "WKIS FM in Miami reported it pulled "Not Ready to Make Nice" due to listener complaints after only one week." It appears that some people are still sporting a grudge after they spoke out against Bush in 2003.

An elderly man gets restrained by cable TV's "Dr. 90210" after shoving a flight attendant on American Airlines.

Olmert Seeks Bush's Views on West Bank; "Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert intends to sound out President Bush on the Israeli's plan to impose a West Bank settlement on the Palestinians by relinquishing most of the territory to them for a state."

Nagin Looks to Mend Divides in New Orleans; here's hoping he can do it. Viva la Mardis Gras.

And while Nagin works to rebuild the Big Easy, Louisiana begins hurricane evacuation drills; welcome to hurricane season.

Karzai Orders Probe Into U.S. Airstrike; "President Hamid Karzai ordered an investigation into U.S. airstrikes on a village that killed at least 16 civilians and asked to meet with the U.S. commander of forces in Afghanistan." The U.S. military...using innocent people as shields? Who would've thunk it?

2 in CIA to testify Libby lied on leak; "Two top CIA officials will bolster prosecutors' charge that Vice President Cheney's chief aide lied to them, court papers show."

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) offers his own immigration plan; "Pence, a rising star in the House, is suggesting a temporary worker program based on a data base run by private industry. And unlike the leading plan in the Senate and the blueprint sketched by Bush, his 'Border Integrity and Immigration Reform Act' would require all applicants to leave the country first." Wow, Indiana...the state that never ceases to amaze me. No folks, just because a state is in the North, that doesn't mean it's progressive.
