After the latest widely-publicized stories in national newspapers about weapons from Iran allegedly killing Americans in Iraq -- based completely on unnamed sources -- at least one smaller news outlet has had enough of it. The news director of the public radio station in Santa Fe, New Mexico, has directed his staff to "ignore national stories quoting unnamed sources." He also called on other news outlets to join this policy. HOOOOORAAAY!!!

"This is a streamlined version of an excellent biscotti recipe shared by my friend, cake designer Ellen Baumwoll. Adding some nuts to the dough increases calories, but provides a bit of much-appreciated richness in what would otherwise be a plain cookie."
This is the definition of a red herring.
A California judge is clearing the way for Anna Nicole Smith's body to be buried, but the question remains -- to whom will the body be released?
Proving that sleet cannot stop the Health Department volunteers, WCBS 880 has video of the NYC Condom being distributed at a Columbus Circle subway exit. Check out the "NYC Condom" jacket the volunteer is wearing! It's hilarious to see people eagerly stick their hands out because who doesn't want something that's free? We even think someone asked for two.
Scooter Libby is not required to prove he didn't lie or obstruct justice. All he has to do is raise a reasonable doubt in the mind of the jurors that he did.
It will be a two-round championship match. In the first round, judges will be fed a three-course meal of oysters, then go home and have sex. In the second round, they will be fed an equally delicious and light three-course meal of chocolate, then go home and have sex. After each round, judges will fill out a brief “Sextionnaire” asking them to rate their arousal and pleasure on a scale of one to ten. They will also be required to have sex one additional time, on a non-aphrodisiac day, and fill out the Sextionnaire. This is called a “control” and makes the whole thing seem more sciency and less like an excuse to get free shellfish.
The European parliament has approved a damning report on secret CIA flights, condemning member states which had colluded in the operations. The UK, Germany and Italy were among 14 states which allowed the US to forcibly remove terror suspects, MEPs said.

The EU report said the US had operated 1,200 flights, flying suspects on to states where they could face torture. The report was adopted by a large majority, with 382 MEPs voting in favour, 256 against and 74 abstaining.

PENTAGON CAUGHT RED HANDED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FRAME IRAN: IRAN DOES NOT MANUFACTURE 81MM MORTAR SHELLS Pentagon carelessness fabricating bogus “evidence” against Iran is really quite stupendous. As I wrote here yesterday, the 81mm mortar shell offered up to the complaisant corporate media as “evidence” Iran is supplying weaponry to the Shi’a of Iraq is an obvious ruse, as the date on the proffered shell does not follow the Muslim calendar and other markings are in English when it only makes sense they would appear in Persian script. But it gets worse...

MADRID (Reuters) - Five models were declared too thin for the catwalk at this week's international designer show in Madrid, a doctor in charge of vetting them said on Sunday. ADVERTISEMENT Last year, Madrid's Cibeles became the first high profile parade to bar models whose ratio of body weight to height was so low it was deemed an unhealthy example to the public. "The idea of weighing models who are on show here and making sure they look healthy is so that they do not have a negative influence by prompting young people to become obsessed by being thin," doctor Susana Monereo told reporters. The other 64 models who were checked had enough fat on them to take part, including one who was banned in September for being too bony. "I didn't want to be obsessed with my weight, but I did what I could and I've achieved it," Maria Campoy, a model who was rejected last time for having a body mass index of below 18, told Spanish state television. The use of underweight models promoting the ultra-slim look has dominated much of world fashion since the 1990s, and was epitomized by British supermodel Kate Moss. But it has come in for sharp criticism following the death of Brazilian model Ana Carolina Resto from complications derived from the slimming disease anorexia. Following Spain's example last September, Italy and New York fashion chiefs have debated the issue and Brazil has campaigned to prevent excessively thin models from appearing. "I don't like the extremely thin look and I think setting a limit is a good thing," Roberto Torreta, one of the designers taking part in the Cibeles show that starts on Monday, told state television.
