CRAWLEY, England, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Officials in an English town that annually spends $66,7000 cleaning up graffiti say they are offering a class for children to improve their spray can technique.  Liz Hart of the community arts team in Crawley said the classes for children ages 8 and up will teach children how to express themselves with graffiti, but will also encourage responsible use of paint, The Sun reported Friday.

This is a country that can't afford to provide sufficient equipment to its troops.

Actual headline in today's New York Times:  Sotomayor Faces Heavy Workload of Complex Cases

Yeah, it's the Supreme Court.  I would think so.

From the Denver Post:  U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, visiting a Denver clinic for the homeless Thursday, insisted that Democrats are united in backing health care reform and brushed off a question of whether raucous, conservative-led protests against reform have hurt the effort.

Nothing like a little liberal bias in the media.  Read that paragraph again, and notice the way it's written..."raucious, conservative-led protests against reform..."  A good editor should have flagged that, but didn't.  Surprise.
