1. The Chinese government says that foreign journalists can continue to hold interviews without applying for permission, which now makes the Chinese government more open than the McCain campaign.
2. The Spanish airline LTE International has suspended flights immediately due to financial problems. The hardest hit were those passengers still in the air.
3. President Bush gave a speech today urging Americans to be patient with the government’s financial measures. He added: “Because we sure haven’t been! Somebody has to be adult about this, so we picked you all.” I notice he gave the speech on a Friday, because every time he reminds people that he’s still president, the market plummets.
4. The tomb of the man who inspired the movie “Gladiator” has been found. And although the character in the movie has a very sad story, the real person ended up very rich and famous. Kind of like the actor who played the character in the movie.
5. A horse in Nevada is going to have his artwork in an international competition in Italy. But considering this is Italy, if he wins, the horse might be part of a new exhibit called “Heads in Beds”.
