5/13

1. Today, the classified ad website Craig’s List decided to stop its “erotic services” section. I know, I’m disappointed too. Instead, this is true, they’re going to change it to “adult services”. Wow, that’ll show ‘em! They’re also going to manually review each ad to see if it’s for prostitution, even if it means going and meeting these people face-to-face, at their apartments, for up to an hour. They are willing to do what it takes!

2. A new study shows that only 38% of northwest Pakistan is under government control. 38%! We’ve reached a point where the Taliban is more successful than General Motors.

3. A new study shows that women have better immune systems than men. Yeah, this is a big surprise to wives.

4. The computer chip maker Intel just got a $1.45 billion fine for anti-competitive practices. Or as it’s known in financial circles: the European speed trap. “Economy’s down? Get out the anti-competitive regulations!”

5. The Pope yesterday called for a Palestinian state. So did George Clooney, though the Pope doesn’t have quite the influence of Clooney.
