8/15

1. In Germany, there was great shock over a fatal shootout between Italian organized crime groups. Imagine! Italian organized criminals outside of Italy! Good thing we Americans never have to worry about that!

2. John Lennon’s solo songs will now be available through iTunes. Now if we can just get Ringo’s solo work on there, my life will be complete.

3. News reports say that “angst” has returned to the global markets. They always use emotional words to describe the stock markets -- “angst”, “jitters”, “joy”. But a more physical description seems fitting, like “bulimia”. Binge and purge!

4. NASA officials are debating whether to repair damage to the space shuttle caused by foam that hit it during launch. Apparently someone left a frappuccino on the wing.

5. In India, people took a day off to celebrate the anniversary of India’s independence, and in the U.S., we all had independence from any telephone customer service for the day.
