2009 Breaking News

· Stunned that the Israeli government would object to Palestinian rocket attacks into residential areas, protesters around the world called upon Israel to find peaceful ways to disarm the rockets before they hit their targets without infringing on Hamas’ right to blow up Jews
· Pirates have set up shop off the coast of Somalia, capturing and holding for ransom various ships. After receiving their 3 million dollar ransom this weekend, their escape ship sank and all but three of the pirates drowned. This would have never happened to Cap’n Jack Sparrow. Argh.
· Caroline Kennedy, daughter of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, is touting herself as senator material. Claiming that “all my cousins have been in Congress” as her main qualification, Ms. Kennedy refused to answer questions about the spelling of her husband’s last name.
· State Senator Mike Friend wants the legislature to have less days in session. I don’t think these guys have to punch a clock, so if he wants time off he should just take it. But it’s not like they’re overworked. The legislature meets for ninety days or sixty days in alternating years. Although the less that lawmakers are around, the fewer stupid new laws we’ll get.
· Lincoln Police are investigating a quick change scammer who’s at large. If they catch him, maybe they can track down where all the bailout money ended up.
