Headlines & Comments - July 5, '06

• Norks - Scuds and Duds.  How many did they launch?  Will they launch more?  How do you like yer "Axis of Evil" now?

• Babs can't sell tickets for her "farewell reunion tour."  And at up to $800 a seat, it's no wonder.

• Ken Lay kicks the bucket.  Coronary artery disease, Medical examiner says.  Hmmm ... didn't know he had a heart.  Maybe they're reserving a seat for him next to Slobodan Milosevic.  And keep an eye out for one of these in your e-mail inbox.

• Thank God, the Shuttle appears to be safe.  Minimal foam loss during launch.

• The European parliament approved new pollution taxes that will double the cost of tickets for Europeans using their continent's popular budget air travel services.  I have no doubt that parliament members also figured out some way to exempt themselves from said tax.

• Please, Cindy, don't let the door hit you on your way out.

(Eccccch!)

Michelle has already made your reservation for you.  Too bad it's only a one-way ticket.
