Tonight! On AC360 (31/07)

1. Breaking News that's actually breaking!

Crime and Punishment takes us straight into new details in the Billings Murders. David Mattingly fills us in on what Sheriff David Morgan (hi Sheriff!) said in a press conference.

They are considering the possibility that this was a contract killing. As a possible secondary motive.

ETA: Digging Deeper with someone who's name I didn't catch Stacey Honowitz.

I. It's a tragic thing. Which is why it makes it so bad that I can't stop myself from giggling every time they say 'dressed like ninjas' re: the attackers.

2. Catching up on the latest MJ Watch news with Randi Kaye...

Wait...

I'm confused, CNN. Where is the Breaking News graphic? I...I feel so lost...

ETA: Autopsy delay, Doctor Murray, Omar the Pseudonym. Drugs.

ETA2: Anderson is joined by Jami Floyd (anchor of In Session, whatever that is?) to talk more about MJ and the drugs etc.

I think this is the part where Jeffrey Toobin would normally come and hang out.

3. Erica's Bulletin: US tourists in custody in Iran having strayed over the boarder, backlash over the Banking Bonuses, Senator Dodd (D-Connecticut) has an early form of prostrate cancer, the Endeavour is back on the ground.

Erica asks if Anderson wants to go into space now. Anderson (in a totally believable tone): Absolutely.

4. GDP report says that the economy seems to be getting a bit better.

Ali Velshi stands in front of a giant screen to tell us all about it.

ETA: And here's David Gergen to lavish the administration with love talk about things in his capcity as Senior Political Analyst.

5. Joe Johns is Keeping Them Honest - about Florida and it's 'pill mills'.

This is essentially a story about prescription drugs and the trafficking and selling of them.

6. Uncovering America - about the Python Hunter.

This is the Florida snake story. Which Jon has covered before. And, I'm pretty sure Andy has too.

ETA: And Joe Wasilewski, the Python Hunter himself, is here to speak live to Andy about SNAKES in a FLORIDA.

Anderson keeps asking if they could kill you. Which Python Hunter keeps saying is phenomenally unlikely. STOP TRYING TO SENSATIONALISE ANDY!

7. Erica's Bulletin Redux: the last of our guys out of Iraq, stolen explosives, Honda recalling some cars, red heads twice as likely to avoid the dentist.

Apparently red heads are more sensitive to pain.

Anderson: By the way - I have only tried nitrous oxide in a dentist environment.

Beat 360! Also, the winner was from Canada! Does that mean I could actually enter?

8. Tonight's Shot: is pretty fucking astounding. Lightning strike super close to an amateur cameraman.

Anderson and Erica argue about who's nearly getting hit by lightninh.

Ahaha. The whole thing is falling apart. Anderson mispronounces a place name and announces that he should have maybe read it before he went on (and I immediately think of the Merry Columbus Day Toss!fail from Stephen.)

Erica: I don't know if this is true? But someone on the liveblog mentioned that it's Friday?
Anderson: FOR THE LOVE GOD - it's two minutes to eleven on Friday. We are so done.

And that's a beautiful note to end on - with Anderson dashing of to a PRT, I guess.
