All the rake that's fit to news.

As an aside before i really get into it, here's a link to the most complete description of the housing crisis I've heard. It's really entertaining and afterwards you can be as big an asshole about the knowledge as I am.
No, but seriously you should really listen to this program, it's truly excellent.

Now...

The Internet a series of tubes full of money going to his house (This joke doesn't make sense, make funnier later - bridges to nowhere joke? -). Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) is indicted for accepting $250,000 of dirty money from a now defunct oil company.

In a case that will either end up in favor of the Bush administration, or else going to the supreme court and going in favor of the Bush administration (thanks a lot for dying, Rehnquist), White House aides (and that son of a bitch Carl Rove) can't fall back on executive privilege, must answer supeona's from congress. FOR NOW!

NEWS FLASH!
Turns out that oil companies are in it for their own gain and don't give two shits about energy crises! NO WAI!

In Health News:
Wait I think I saw Will Smith in this movie; miracle drug offers free muscle mass with no effort, is in fact zombie virus. Man that movie was boring, and full of Christian symbology.
Also in health news, something about ALS (Lou Gherig's disease) that won't have any affect on patients for at least 15 years. But at least they said embryonic stem cells are still necessary.

Not in the news unless you look for it, Myanmar. The governing military junta stole about 25% of the aid given after the cyclone in May. Hooray!

And finally, world oldest joke; not that funny.
