The Last Day Of July 2007 News Digest

And if you have trouble digesting the news as I sometimes do- give it a break for a few days...


* Chief Justice of America's Supreme Court (post Diana Ross heh) John Roberts had a seizure over the weekend. Doctors can't confirm if it was caused by a bout of conscience...

* FBI and other lawpeople raided the home of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. Stevens is accused of being involved in so much graft that he SHOULD go into biology....

* Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown will conclude his visit to America today with a speech before the United Nations (joke) in New York. Brown left D.C. assuring President Dubya that Britain will ALWAYS be behind America- no matter what screwball things our leaders get us into. Thanks my British friends- I was hoping YOU of all peoples had more sense than that...

* Officials have said that North Korea has cooperated fully with the deactivation of that country's nuclear reactors. A shipment of lollypops and ice cream bars surely must be enroute there...

* The K.C. Royals lost 3 to 1 to the Minnesota Twins last night (okay- I owe a Twins fan a Pig's Eye then). Why can't our guys get Gil Meche any run support?

* There's going to be- as there is around Topeka and Fort Scott now- more scattered showers and thunderstorms around the MetroRegion (area within a 50-mile radius of Downtown K.C.) today. Some areas within 25 miles of this station have gotten anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of rain in July. Here at the NewsCenter? Barely an inch of rain for the month.
