I love the U.S. in so many ways, but...
A selection of the top CNN.com stories this morning are...
-Suspects still in jail (and not charged) for disappearance of tramp
-Pink Floyd reuniting for Live 8
-Condoleeza plays piano for some girl with an incurable disease
-The actor who played MacGyver died
-Brits allegedly doubted U.S. post-war plan in Iraq
Compare to BBC, which are not without Eurocentricism, but all the same have a better sense of what constitutes relevant news...
-87 Chinese school children die in floods
-Journalist freed in Iraq after five months being a hostage
-Mahmoud Abbas brings back the death penalty
-Italian politicians defy the vatican over fertility laws
-Edgar Ray Killen will finally go to trial tomorrow
Both sites make mention of Tyson quitting boxing after the McBride fight, though hasn't he said before that he was retiring? Plus it's Mike Tyson and he's nutty and has a face tattoo and that's funny but also weird.
Also, I love Starbucks. Corporate America is delicious. Yay dead babies or whatever evils allegedly result from capitalism!
