Weekend Update - May 31st

• Thirty journalists gathered in Denver, Colorado Friday to view a video a man took of an alien popping up and down outside his window. That's "alien" as in UFO's, and such. Just when I was beginning to be afraid this was a "no news weekend."
• Remember that little fat irritating Bush press secretary named Scott McClellan? Well, beam us up Scotty, he's written a book about the administration's cult of deception.
• Outgoing Idaho Senator "Wide-Stance Larry" Craig is writing a tell-all book about his life. Makes you just wanna rub your eyes until the pain goes away.
• On Friday, 111 nations, including major NATO allies, adopted a treaty that sets an eight-year deadline to eliminate stockpiles of cluster arms — pernicious weapons that scatter thousands of small bombs across a wide area, where they pose a long-term deadly threat to innocents. The Bush administration not only failed to sign the treaty but vigorously opposed it.
• What's it like to tool around in a rented limo with the ultra-rich. Flying high?
• Know someone interested in joining the military? Ron Kovic writes that military recruiters must be confronted.
