8/10

Iraq Progress
President Bush is defending US operations in Iraq, saying the country is
slowly becoming the kind of free society Americans would recognize.
He's actually right, with random shootings, looting, and a devastated
economy, Iraq is looking more like Detroit every day!



Swiss Rave
Almost 1 million people came out for a massive "Rave" party in Zurich
Saturday. The crowd indulged in an alternative rock concert, body
painting, and the impromptu financing of a multi-national corporation.




College President Resigns
University of Tennessee president John Shumaker was forced out of office
amid growing questions about his outlandish spending which included
flights in private jets, shopping sprees, and paying his kids tuition at
the University of Tennessee



Utah Case
The ACLU is challenging a deal that gave the Mormon Church the right to
regulate behavior on a pedestrian block in Salt Lake City. The lawsuit
asks the court to give control of the block back to the city... which is
controlled by the Mormon Church



Older Drivers
A new report says we can expect more elderly drivers on the road in the
coming years. That's because more seniors live in the suburbs, public
transportation is shrinking, and the cost of prescription drugs is
forcing many old people to live in their cars.



Brazil Jailbreak
84 prisoners tunneled their way out of a maximum security prison in Rio
de Janeiro on Friday. So far 3 have been caught, the other 81 took a
quick look at the Brazilian economic situation and tunneled back to
their cells.
