Hosni and the terrible, horrible no good very bad day: Egyptian leaders move to shut Mubarak out. Meanwhile Mubarak aims to revive economy. Banking, stock exchange, manufacturing and tourism have been stagnant since protests started.
The most interesting story you’ll ever hear about C-SPAN: Republicans and the cable network have been fuedin’ on the house floor since 1984.
He’s not talking about wanting more ethnic restaurants at the mall food court: Prime Minister Cameron says multiculturalism has failed in the UK. He calls for stronger national identity to fight terrorism.
Faux-folksy Alaskan throws shade, offers “blistering critique” of Obama: Palin yappin’ at Reagan’s 1000th birthday.
Taxi cab takes out pig: Not just any pig. Rachel, the Pike Place Pig.
Violent video games aren’t the only ones: Elementary school football coaches also teach kids to be aggressive. Head injuries are one outcome.
Thank God it’s not the SPD on tape this time. Teen robbery suspect beaten by police in Houston.
The take-away lesson is that sleeping with a sixteen year old is still a terrible idea: King County Prosecutors won’t file felony rape charges for UW basketball player. May still face up to a year in prison for supposedly giving alcohol to a teenager.
The hot new teen trend that doesn’t involve drugs, sex or violence: E-readers according to the New York Times. Young adult e-books are flying off the e-shelves.
Let this be a warning to all the kids who want to start trouble. It’s all fun and games until you get sent to reform school. Sexy reform school.
I’d like to be able to read about Rachel, but KIRO’s mobile site sucks ass. It looks like it was made to be viewed on a 10 year old Nokia.
Funny, but I don’t remeber Reagan quitting half way through his term as governor. And, once again, it was Reagan that gave this country it’s first GIGANTIC DEFICIT! And, once again, every Repugnant president since added to the deficits. It takes a Dem to clean up their messes. Now the Repugnants have voted more giant deficits and are playing games with women’s health for the religious fanatics that run their party, despite the fact that their bible says not one word about abortion. NOT ONE WORD!!!
Mr. Hicks, I haven’t even clicked through to the stories yet, but I have to say, those are the best Morning News titles I can remember. Especially the horrible no good very bad day. Woot for you!

Does Mubarak staying around mean he’s itching to be Mussolini or Ceaucescu rather than Idi Amin?
Also this weekend is the world wide homeopathy overdose event. People will be swallowing entire bottles of homeopathic products to show that homeopathy is 100% useless.

I hate cab drivers, but the pig is tacky and awful.
I think this is a win for all.
How do you drop charges that were never filed?
@ #8–corrected, thanks.
That e-book story is funny. It’s not teens that are buying those young-adult books. It’s creepy adults.
@ 7 Do not say anything about the pig, it is beautiful! If you don’t like it, move to a different city or just don’t go to Pike Place Market (it isn’t like anyone ever needs to go there anyway). Who hates cab drivers? That is like hating firefighters, bartenders, or other needed service people, it makes you sound like an idiot.
In regards to the video, wow Bette Midler has really let herself go, hasn’t she?

What the fuck!? I was just hanging out with Rachel last night! I reminisced with another local about how she’d always been there! Told a tourist about her history! It must have been difficult to hit her, she’s half burried in a construction site…
He may have taken us 1000 years back in time (or gave it his best try), but this is Reagan’s 100th, not 1000th, birthday.
aw, Wendy O Williams! Can’t go wrong there, even if she looks about 50 years older than the rest of the “kids”
@ Matt in Denver,
My guess is he did the 1000 years on purpose. I took it two ways, first, that republicans venerate Reagan like he was a god or something, and second… each Reich was supposed to last a thousand years and it’s a subtle play on the Reagan era being the “fourth Reich.”
Although maybe I read too much into it and it really was a typo.
Only news intern Ryan T. Hicks knows for sure…
Back when the Reagan administration classified ketchup as a vegetable my sister said “well it takes one to know one.”
Poor Sarah. The Reagans would never have let her in their house, unless she was coming to clean it.
@13: The Unova starters are god-awful in terms of appearance and concept, with the possible exception of Snivy.

@ 20, my son returned from the extravaganza with a Snivy stylus for his DS, the others look like a rehash using different colors.
I like any news about the Pike St. Pig.
@11 4/10 You didn’t get any bites. And your trolling is of the most obvious sort. But, your saying taxi drivers are like servicemen, comparing them to fire fighters, did make me giggle. So, you got bonus points.
@ 10. There is more money in young adult fiction. Some of the best and brightest have down played their writings to be marketable to teens in order to make bigger bucks. Neil Gaimen is one of my favorite authors, but I doubt I’ll ever be able to purchase a new novel that isn’t marketed to the young adult.
Is Fnarf dead?
Dutch oven.
Best 69 bu
@26 …that’s what happens when you drink and blog with your laptop in the tub. Hopefully his gold superpower suit saved him, and he’s merely recovering in some virgin’s bower eating strawberries and listening to lute music.
Fnarf thought that if he commented here he would get “Double Bonus Points” for his Questionland Answers.
Then he discovered the joke was on him….
@29: Huh?
