Virtual Front Page, Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Here’s hoping I can find some more interesting news than I did yesterday…

  1. Greece crisis: Fears grow that it could spread (BBC) — The EU folk are talking about a 100 billion Euro bailout. Pretty soon they’ll start talking real money.
  2. H-P Agrees to Buy Palm (WSJ) — Not sure why. I used to have a Palm dumbphone. They lost their edge after the original Pilot, which had the cool feature of being able to beam your business card info to other people via microwaves. All the rage in the 90s.
  3. Republicans Agree to Debate on Financial Overhaul (NYT) — Wow. I’m sorry, people, but EVERYTHING out there is boring stuff about money. I’m not seeing any wars or anything to relieve the monotony.
  4. Coast Guard to Try Burning Oil as It Nears Land (NYT) — OK, well this is pretty cool. Setting an oil slick 600 miles in circumference, visible from space, on fire. Whoa. Reminds me of the Farm Film Report on SCTV: They’re gonna blow it up REAL good.
  5. Immigration Law Ignites Fury In Mexico (NPR) — Just to show you how politicians can pander on BOTH sides of the border.
  6. North Carolina beach town bans thongs — On a dull day like this, thought maybe we needed something else along the lines of yesterday’s Boobquake. I’ll bet that guy who tried to look at porn 16,000 times isn’t going to waste any of his valuable time at that beach.

I’m sorry, folks. That was probably my most boring front ever. But I have standards. I will not, repeat NOT, put Sandra Bullock and Jesse James on my front page.
