News for 25 September 2006

As can possibly be said for any day, there is no shortage of news — and that goes for today too. The over this past weekend, I have been bookmarking stories and writing down ideas for blog posts (especially on the US bill on interrogation and trial of detained persons). I am still not finished, but will be soon.

Back to today's news. How about a news link zeitgeist list (aka 'news to watch' or 'in the news'): We have big news on British PM Tony Blair and PM hopeful Gordon Brown (plus the Labour Party in general), various news on air travel, reports on the "war on terror", the continuing Osama Bin Laden death/sickness speculation, Donald Rumsfeld, more on the detainee bill, a[n under-reported] global warming report, Jackass Number Two (NYT liked it), multiple stories on former President Bill Clinton, the Pope and Islam, oil (prices going down), the developing aftermath of the Thailand coup, changes in the Chinese Communist Party, and, last but not least, don't forget to eat your spinich!

Oh, and Technorati, please stop saying I haven't updated my blog in six days. Index it already!!! (You'd think after all of those pings, their bots would get the hint).
