Blogging The Headlines: Daily Noose

New York Daily News

* People know game, but pols lag behind - 5 hours ago
It was a TV moment for the ages: Bravo's Fab Five gay men working their makeover wonders last week on five very macho members of the Boston Red Sox. Not only that, but they were all cheered on by a crowd in Port Charlotte, Fla. - part of a red county...
Baseball is a pretty gay sport, Florida holds spring training. This much is true.

* Lives shattered by recklessness - 5 hours ago
The cruel indifference of hit-and-run drivers infects the city like a plague.
I think the punishment for hit-and-run drivers should be automatic enlistment in an Army infantry division on the frontlines of whatever war we're fighting at the time. No age, height, weight, disability restrictions. Dress 'em up like rodeo clowns and put rifles in their hands. Hit and run that shit.

* Dean has pols seeing gray - 5 hours ago
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's declaration that the GOP is a bastion of "white Christians" has put the Democratic mayoral wanna-bes in New York's liberal capital in a very tricky position.
So what? New York is a bastion of black Jews. Let's just keep politics out of politics, okay?

* Hard-line grilling or torture? - 5 hours ago
The so-called 20th hijacker in the 9/11 attacks was tormented by his interrogators with dripping water, sleep deprivation and Christina Aguilera music, secret Guantanamo Bay prison logs revealed yesterday.
The fact they even made a record of the torture they perform on prisoners is disturbing. Plus, how come they aren't using the highly effective rectal pear?

* Spurs make it look Two easy - 5 hours ago
SAN ANTONIO - Rasheed Wallace was left to restrain an irate Larry Brown from being ejected in the fourth quarter last night. Considering the reputation of the player trying to maintain the peace, the scene was both comical and desperate.
I might have clicked to read the rest of the story if "being ejected" was replaced with "ejaculating." Oh, two of my friends once worked for the NBA. Sorry, that's all I got on this one.
