The Nightly News.



(I'm sorry that this post is rather long, readers, but part of this was done earlier before I got tied up with offline life. The other half and I are both dealing with really bad migraines right now, so this will be all for tonight until early tomorrow morning, when we're well rested. Good night!)

Matt Drudge has to point out in ALL CAPS that Rupert Murdoch, who's throwing a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in July, is sitting next to Bush in this picture, taken yesterday. Oh noes!! Whatever will Hillary do now??

Jodie Foster ends her commencement speech at the U of Penn with the chorus from 8 Mile and then talks to graduates about changing the country and the world since "things are worse off than they were 4 years ago".

Yahoo will be harnessing their users' knowledge in an upcoming plan to challenge Google; "Yahoo will on Wednesday set out plans to harness the collective knowledge and interests of its 400m regular users to develop the next generation of search technology and narrow the gap with internet juggernaut Google."

Now the RIAA is suing XM over its Inno device because it allows users to record up to 50 hours of music, news, and etc. to listen to when they're out of satellite range (like basements, elevators, and such). Won't they ever give up?

The MPAA does some censoring; first, the people behind the film, The Road to Guantanamo, get told the must make changes to a poster that's deemed "offensive," and second, HBO's new series, Baghdad ER, may be overhauled as the Army is now calling for major changes to the show.

From Crooks and Liars: Tony Snow confirms: FOX News is the White House Network; apparently, Snow made a boo-boo on air...while talking about an ABC interview, he called it the "competing network".

Coming to the NY Times tomorrow: Bush could sign peace treaty with North Korea; as it's said in the article, I don't think the White House likes leaving North Korea out there as an example to Iran about small nuclear-powered nations who don't back down to pressure.

The House ethics committee OKs an Abramoff-related probe; come on down, Rep. Ney and Rep. Jefferson!

ABC uncovers an ex-CIA executive director's "Hawaii Hideaway" with its own private waterfall.

An ex-Bush campaign official gets 2 years for phone jamming; it's worse than what it sounds.

General Peter Pace says that we can't start pulling out of Iraq, even though some of the places troops would be pulled are, as described by him, "calm and stable".

And it's official...our government's stupidity has caused the rest of the world to hate not only them, but us, as well.

And finally, tonight...the US plan to bomb Iran.
