Headlines: 23 April 2008

  • Because "staying [the] course is not a bad idea." Funny quote:


  • Though the Central Command was created in 1983 to cover the "central" part of the globe between the European and Pacific Commands, according its Web site, its main headquarters is located not in its theater of operations, but rather in Tampa, Fla., at least in part because of the political sensitivity of basing it in the Mideast.

  • This Summer: $4/gallon: Coming to a gas station near you!



  • The minority Tamils want their own state; the majority Sinhalese government vowed to destroy the rebels before elections in May.



  • Robert Mugabe intimidates his political rivals as a recount determines which party controls Parliament. Zimbabwe, by the way, has the world's highest inflation rate, at an astounding 100,000%. And that's according to officials. The real rate might be higher.
