Ted Kennedy Hospitalized

Ted Kennedy Conscious, Talking, After Hospitalization For Seizures

Senator Edward M. Kennedy was rushed from his Hyannisport home to Massachusetts General Hospital this morning after an apparent seizure. One government official said the 76-year-old senator suffered a second seizure aboard a helicopter transport flight from the Cape to Boston.

Kennedy’s Senate office released a written statement just after 2 p.m. today offering the first official confirmation, saying, "It appears that Senator Kennedy experienced a seizure this morning. He is undergoing a battery of tests at Massachusetts General Hospital to determine the cause of the seizure. Senator Kennedy is resting comfortably, and it is unlikely we will know anything more for the next 48 hours."

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

Woman's Dead Body Lies in Flat for 35 Years

Governments have changed. War erupted and ended. Neighbors had children, and then grandchildren. But Hedviga Golik never left her tiny apartment in Croatia's capital — until her mummified body was carried out this week, 35 years after she died.

Police said Friday that no one ever reported Golik missing and no one has come to claim her body.

Residents of her loft building in downtown Zagreb had broken into Golik's flat after deciding that the apartment should belong to them, and not to her. Startled by the remains in bed, they called police.

She's was lying there dead since I was in kindergarten. KINDERGARTEN! Through almost everything I remember doing... she's been lying there dead. And no one has noticed. THE BERLIN WALL FELL! COMMUNISM COLLAPSED! The Soviet Union disintegrated! 7 different Presidents! Wars fought! The Space Shuttle was launched! The attacks of 9/11 happened! A freakin' civil war tore her country apart! And no one noticed she was dead. Jeebus.

Group Protests At Cobb Bar, Calling Obama T-shirts Racist

Marietta tavern owner Mike Norman says the T-shirts he's peddling, featuring cartoon chimp Curious George peeling a banana, with "Obama in '08" scrolled underneath, are "cute." But to a coalition of critics, the shirts are an insulting exploitation of racial stereotypes from generations past.

I guess the only way this could have been worse would be if George were holding a Koran...

Just for the record, this isn't racist:

The "Jesus" Thing...

In case you haven't heard... Christians (or "Followers of the Way" or some other non-confrontational, meaningless generic label) should "move beyond" the whole "Jesus thing."
