Breaking News from the Brit/K-Fed custody hearing on CNN
11:32 a.m PT:America deserves Huckabee.
On her way back into the courtroom, Anne Kiley, an attorney from the Spears camp, said she had "no comment" when asked if she knew if Britney is going to show up.
Members of the media out here are now commenting how nice Anne Kiley's shoes are.

Halting StateCharles Stross Seriously twisted mix of high-finance, MMORPGs, and information security all wrapped in a classic spy/crime story. |
GlasshouseCharles Stross I love this guy's ideas. Mindwiped identity bending futurescape with a pointed take on modern times. This one's way up the recommended list. |
Iron SunriseCharles Stross Sequel to Singularity Sky - more great hard-sf from one of the absolute best in the genre. Love it. |
Pattern RecognitionWilliam Gibson Not his strongest work - a modern fiction piece with some interesting ideas but it feels disjointed somehow. |
StarfishPeter Watts Oh look, he's reading more dark hardsf... big surprise. This one brings strong psychotic-biochemistry-fu. Bring your brain |
Little BrotherCory Doctorow A modern 1984 for teens... good layman tech and a great take on the idiocy of the war on terra |
AccelerandoCharles Stross Chunky short-story format that blazes with ideas and pace. Great book. |
Singularity SkyCharles Stross Interesting SF space opera... an ideas book the way old Niven was in that the plot isnt really that important. |
The Sunrise LandsSM Stirling The 4th in a line of Silly post-apocalyptic alternate history with a goofy premise taken too far... but fun to read. |
BlindsightPeter Watts Rough and dark, but it grows on you... like a tumor. Post-gibson cyberpunk noire, the gripping hand in reverse - only really really really creepy. Dont plan on sleeping well after this one. |
The Android's DreamJohn Scalzi Pratchett/Adams as hard SF - with all the humor of both. I loved the concept of the AI - bout time someone decided to attack the Wintermute conundrum backwards. |
ThirteenRichard Morgan Not Kovacs, but interesting all the same. Dystopian take on the American political schism and where it heads - taking some old Dick ideas much further down the road. |

UPDATE: It's 2:00 PM PT and Britney is eating lunch at the Gaucho Grill on Ventura Blvd. A girl gets hungry!
Okay, Sean. It's time to turn off CNN and walk away from your television set.
What the hell has happened to "the news" in this country?
well hell - what do you want them to report, that we'll be in Iraq till 2018? I mean jeez - that doesn't sell ad space - it just makes people depressed at the prospect of another several trillion dollars down the KBR toilet. In the mean time - we can ALL laugh at Britney, and poke sticks at her for free on first tuesdays...
Well, if it were up to me, the news would come on for an hour at the end of the day and report actual, relevant news. The rest of the broadcast day would be dedicated to reruns of Law and Order, Bewitched, and Beverly Hills 90210. But perhaps that's why I'm not a tv executive.
Hard to say.
no... that's no good...
The most trusted national TV news organizations, for accurate reporting, in declining order included: Fox News (27.0%), CNN (14.6%), and NBC News (10.90%). These were followed by ABC News (7.0%), local news (6.9%), CBS News (6.8%) MSNBC (4.0%), PBS News (3.0%), CNBC (0.6%) and CBN (0.5%).
Relevant news is no good... instead, we need more stripper stories (fair and balanced stripper stories that is)
