More news that will be overwhelmed by John McCain's scandal story
The Navy reports a direct hit on that wayward satellite. Hellooooo, Star Wars missile defense! CNN has the Pentagon video.

Great Britain admits that it participated in the secret "rendition" of terror suspects, with the current foreign secretary, David Milliband, correcting the lies misstatements of his predecessor, future Dubya vacation buddy Jack Straw.

The Guardian has two other stories on the Bushification of Britain: one on the government bugging its own MPs, and another on how Tony Blair's Labour Party scrubbed any mention of Israel's open secret of a nuclear arsenal, or criticisms of that country's security policies, from a now discredited 2002 dossier on Iraq's supposed WMD.

The WaPo reports on U.S. payments to Pakistan -- about $6 billion worth over the last six years -- that have apparently gone down the Dubya hole.

Over to the Times (it's not just about John McCain's love life anymore...) the word for the day is: stagflation.

Apparently, race matters less in Southern politics these days.

And yet, a red state is still a red state: Most Texans would still prefer John McCain to Barack Obama ... even though most of those polled by CNN oppose the very war Mack would extend for 100 years ... unless of course, someone even more conservative, and even more likely to give them more Bush policies (which they also disfavor) runs as a third party candidate. What's wrong with these people?

Finally, in a very sad story, the sister of the late, great boxing legend Joe Louis is found frozen to death after apparently wandering away from her assisted living center near Detroit.
