BUSHCRONIUM Ohpinion: "A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named 'Bushcronium'. Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 311. These particles are held together by dark forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. The symbol for Bushcronium is W. Bushcronium's mass actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various elements in the atmosphere and become assistant deputy neutrons in a Bushcronium molecule, forming isodopes." I know it's an old one, but still, very funny. 12:23:53 PM

OOPS, THAT WAS ON PURPOSE Dutch public television had brought the news of the Russians planting their flag under the North Pole by insinuating that the Russians had deliberately inserted images of the film Titanic. Actually, one of the more creative Reuters editors had inserted the image, which they now acknowledge. A little Stalin among the Reuters crew? 12:18:16 PM

TAKE A STAND "The 'Take a Stand Campaign' is a nation-wide organizing drive to demand that members of Congress and the Senate take a stand with the vast majority of Americans who want a safe and responsible redeployment of American Forces from Iraq. Across America, over 100 'Iraq Summer' organizers are working to involve thousands of ordinary Americans in an effort to pressure targeted members of Congress to vote to bring a safe end to the war. This 'Take A Stand Campaign' will culminate with 'Take A Stand' town meetings to be held on August 28th, immediately before congress reconvenes." 12:12:04 PM
