Today's Drudgies

1. Paris Hotel Fire Kills at Least 20 People ...
Given the nature of France I wonder if the firefighters were on strike or on vacation.

2. BLOWOUT: CAR GIANT HITS 12-YEAR LOW...
That and gas prices may allow me to pick up a nice new Yukon and perhaps a roller skate for every day use!

3. Update: VT Congressman Upset With Local Paper After Receiving "Delay" Treatment…...
oh poor baby. This merits a full blog on its own.

4. FLASH: first Likely to Push for Ban on Filibusters...
I would much prefer to see Robert Byrd or TX on the stump for 24 hours but this is okay. Remember the filibuster is not in the Constitution but in the rules of the Senate which the Senate can make.

5. CONSERVATIVES PORTRAY DEMOCRATS AS 'AGAINST PEOPLE OF FAITH'...
Well, Michael Newdow, ACLU activists, the Freedom from Religion Foundation surely are not considered Republicans are they? It is not we believe every Dem is anti-faith but the ones who have influence and can make noise certainly seem to want to rid our nation of Faith.

6. Whale-Dolphin Hybrid Has Baby Wholphin...
How does it taste?

7. GOLDEN ARCHES TURN 50...
Happy Birthday McDonalds!

8. IRAQIS FIND MASS GRAVES THOUGHT TO HOLD 5,000 SADDAM'S VICTIMS...
Yawn. It seems one can hardly turn the soil anywhere in Iraq without finding one of these. I do not make light of it, I try to emphasize the fact these are so common. I heard a story that the Army is expanding Abu Ghraib but is way behind on it because every time they dig new ground they have to bring in the forensic archaeologists to exhume yet another mass grave (or portion of one big mass grave).
