Quick hit Catchall this Morning

In this morning's news, there was alot I found a little interesting, and very little I found alot interesting, so I'm gonna do a quick catchall.

In no particular order.

Kyrgyzstan has backtracked and allowed the US to keep it's airbase despite Russian pressure.

I'm still proud to be driving a diesel. (better mileage and less greenhouse gases, although if everyone did, the soot would make us look like 1850 London.)

Legalize it. It just makes economic sense.

Republicans outlawing gay marriage solely to up their voter turnout. Bigotry is a powerful weapon. California, Texas. And the more religious southern states have higher rates of teen pregnancy and STD's. Repressed urges are a bitch.

Before Katrina a survey showed 727,304 homeless in the US, or about 1 in 400.

And here's one of the reasons why I'm looking at a third version of a $20 bill not to mention the vanishing higher denominations.

The SEC subpoenaed Frist.

A sad story on stateside suicides within one unit of Army Special Forces.

And, finally NASA climatologists say that 2005 will be the hottest year on record along with a very telling graphic.

See, all a little interesting, but none of it worth an extended post. Sorry for the catchall post, I hate these, but it seemed the only way to mention these without writing tens of pages and boring the hell out of both you and me.

Mike
