There is a 25 year old pregnant mother of a 7 year old missing from Philadelphia, PA. Her name is Latoyia Figueroa.
Q:Why aren't the 24 hour news networks and major metropolitan newspapers providing wall-to-wall coverage and updates every fifteen minutes?
A: She's not white.
Even the story on the CBS 3 website seems half-hearted, saying, "If you have any information, call police." No phone number was given. No special tip line, not even a number for Crime Stoppers. I believe she was last seen in the Philadelphia Police 16th District. Call 215-636-3163 if you have any info.
But thanks to All Spin Zone and The Philadelphia Citizens Crime Commission, there is now a reward fund.
Who needs to wait for Nancy Grace to get off her ass when you have thoughtful, real people to help spread the word? Help if you can.

The Bush Administration is changing the slogan for their quixotic crusade from the "Global War on Terrorism," or GWOT, to the "Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism," or GSAVE.

Don't you feel like we're winning already?

From the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee:
Karl Rove gets a raise!

Some stuff i found funny....

Matt Alexander at McSweeney's tries to find humor in these times. He says,
"Although i like a good George W. Bush joke as much as the next guy, some of them seem gratuitous and mean-spirited."

Timothy McSweeny's site is full of irreverence, and thus is awesome.

Congratulations to Sam Apple, he won the 2005 Hemispheres Magazine (the one you get for free when you fly United Airlines) Faux Faulkner competition. Yay! Wait. i've never heard of it either. Here's the story. Here is his winning entry.

"He know a lot more than folks think."
It would be funnier if it weren't so frighteningly close to the truth.
