FOURPLEX FIRE
Last Friday in my apartment I heard a loud noise. Couldn't tell if it was an explosion or airbrakes from the radio remote truck at Soul Kitchen or what. Turned out it was a fire at the fourplex where a lot of our friends live (and have lived). Then, a few days later I get an email from my friend Linda Touart telling me about some pictures her husband Rick had taken. The internet is a funny little animal. This site is a real trip. Be sure your sound is on.
RECIPE CAUSES MAGAZINE RECALL
"Southern Living magazine has recalled its April issue from newsstands because of an error in a recipe for dinner rolls that resulted in minor burns to at least five readers."

MORE BIG LIE?
"Donald Rumsfeld, argues that the inhumane incarceration, the secrecy and the abuse of any principles of justice are all justified by the fact that the Guantanamo prisoners are the hardest of hard cases. But given what we know of those who have been released, the refusal of the US to open the evidence to challenge, and the secrecy that surrounds the prison and all who languish there, the proposition that - like the weapons of mass destruction - maybe none of them are terrorists - is worth considering.

DEBRIEFING NOTES DISCOVERED AT COFFEE SHOP
Someone, obviously readying him/herself to prep Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld – left notes on the table of a local coffeeshop. Talking points, hand-written notes on spin tactics, and a hand-drawn map to the Secretary's house were found by a resident of DuPont Circle, who made them available to the Center for American Progress. The name of said resident is being withheld at his request, as he fears that he may be accused on national television of being "disgruntled." (Click on the headline to see the actual notes)

YELLOW JOURNALISM
"Put 30 drug testing workers in a room together for a few hours and it isn't long before they start trading strange - and somewhat indelicate - tales of urine collection."
