Even with Bush in Europe stirring up the beehives in both Iran and Russia, it smells like a pretty slow news cycle. 2 more U.S. soldiers were killed by separate attacks in Iraq, bringing that total perilously close to 1500 killed since the War began nearly 2 years ago. 2 British soldiers were convicted of abusing prisoners in Iraq. And the Coalition of the Willing just got 450 more troops committed by Australia, to the dismay of many Down Under. These should be big stories in any sort of normal world. But when they're below the fold of Jacko's jury selection, pre-Oscars senselessness, Prince Chuckles' wedding controversy and the Pope's latest near-death watch, we're all becoming dangerously averse to anything but triviality.
So...in other stupid news:
Randy Moss has been traded to the Raiders. Drew Bledsoe has signed in Big D. And chasing tennis balls in Dubai appears to be a really bad idea.
Hunter S. Thompson's funereal wishes will be honored. He wanted his ashes to be shot out of a cannon. No word yet on where it will be aimed.
And today's Abe Vigoda's 84th birthday. Like I said, slow news day.
MiniMag's gonna get assessed again this afternoon. We may schedule an induction. Or maybe we'll wait until after the Oscars. We'll keep you posted.
