If you've seen these, Rugby police would like to speak to you
-National Republican Quittin' Day-
White House press secretary Tony Snow formally announced he would resign in two weeks. Republican Sen. John Warner announced he wouldn't seek re-election. Not Gay Sen. Larry Craig is expected to step down soon. And it's Karl Rove's last day.
Is it just me or has the air gotten a little easier to breath? (Reuters, AP, Raw Story, and AP, respectively)
-Holy blob-
An image of the Virgin Mary has been appearing on a PA garage door every night since August 15, the feast of the assumption of Mary. At least, it's supposed to be Mary, but like all of these things, seeing it takes quite a bit of cooperation on the part of your bullshit detection lobe.
According to the report, this white amorphous blob has "brought crowds to the city of Minersville to see it." It's a miracle! (DathanFirst.com)
-This is the record-
The underwear theft crime wave is not over. In fact, it's escalating alarmingly. According to the report, "Twenty pallets containing about 25,000 pairs" of designer "Jules" underwear were stolen in a hijacking of a truck in Rugby, Warwickshire. The driver was sprayed with an "'unknown substance' which knocked him unconscious."
The undies are worth £50,000, which in the neighborhood of $100,000 -- more or less. Seriously, exchange rates give me a headache. Police are
seeking information and are telling "anyone who sees a cargo of stolen underpants for sale to get in touch." How would you know? (BBC)
