Check out ESPN.com, which today is running a series of articles which demonstrate (1) that it's a painfully slow news day, and (2) that they don't take cycling seriously. Lance is featured on the front page, but in the various top-this or that lists, no cycling feat is mentioned. |

- newsjunkie sent in news of a pig slaughter, which wouldn't normally be news, but this was, I suppose, "unplanned" or something. Five youths are suspected in the beating and torture of several pigs at a high school barn (two pigs died in the attack). Someone was nice enough to ask "if you have kids doing this to animals, what are they going to do with the other kids?", and it was probably rhetorical, but I'm wondering about the parents of kids, who might work in slaughterhouses. What do you suppose they're up to? |

- Rosemary found a CCF article that might be trying a bit too hard - they're using PETA's recent campaign against Beyoncé Knowles as an example of how PETA "targets children." Um, dudes?

To be fair, the CCF is using one parent's outrage to lead off into a rant, so let's look at the rant and discuss ethical quoting practices. |
