News you can use:

After getting over 9 inches of rain this past Friday and Saturday, the town of Ruidoso, New Mexico has flooded, killing one man and stranding hundreds. The Rio Ruidoso has risen from its usual 4 foot level to over 12 feet with all of the rain coming from the remnants of hurricane Dolly. Damn Dolly and all of her milk rain.

President Bush has approved the execution of Army private Ronald Gray. Gray was convicted of two counts of murder and five counts of rape in a civilian court and similar charges in a military court. The military court sentenced him to death in 1988.

Oh hell. The University of FloRida has been named the nation's top party school by The Princeton Review. A university spokesperson, Steve Orlando, attributes UF winning the party title in light of their recent athletic national championships. Oh, geez, as if Florida peeps needed anything else to be smug about. But, they are in the SEC so I'll show a little love. Who, besides me, thinks it's HILARIOUS that the spokesman's last name is ORLANDO?

News you can lose:

Amy Winehouse is in the news again. Who is surprised? (Yeesh, that pic is not flattering!)
