The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 5/7/07


GOP Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani


-Don't worry, it was only the mafia-
Actual headline: "Police Call Vegas Blast Murder, Not Terrorism." A bomb that killed some poor guy in Las Vegas may have been Wise Guys, not Evildoers. It's one of those 'good news/bad news' things... (AP)

-Headline of the day-
"Lou Dobbs Becomes Lifetime Member Of Hispanic Journalists Association." I didn't know he was hispanic. In related news, Mike Tyson is voted president of the National Organization of Women. (Think Progress)

-Orwell was off by a decade-
Rudy Giuliani on freedom: "Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do... You have free speech so I can be heard." (NYT, 1994 -- via Reddit)

-Second headline of the day-
"Politician banned for wearing 'underpants' to meeting." Sounds better than the alternative... (The Local (Sweden))
