I got a chuckle out of Reuters' headlines for Top Stories:

Bush denies Iraq headed for civil war

Polls show support for Iraq war at new low

Bush still backs Dubai ports deal

Supreme Court hears Anna Nicole Smith's case

Through sheer force of denial will, Bush can create realities where once only talking points existed.

At least Anna Nicole is getting her day before the Supreme Court, so the system isn't completely broken.

And now a Rall:

I especially like the "Trickle-down" approach.

God, this article sounds familiar! From being pressured "to choose a major 'that trains you for a job'" (well-meaning, though sad advice) to the near schizoid compartmentalization that make up the engineering student double-life careerists, I don't always agree with Rall, but he makes interesting enough points that, if doomed to a crowded frat party in the afterlife, I'd be satisfied being stuck in the corner with him.
