10. ANyone else offended by the size of the headline on Yahoo?
Just below the "Ronald Reagan is Dead" sized headline is the following :


Panel: Agencies 'dead wrong' on Iraq WMDs
U.S. soldier convicted in death of Iraqi

Apparently over 1500 soldiers dead and more everyday plus all the Iraqis tortured and killed isn't enough to get the HUGE headline.

11. BBC breaking:
Brain-damaged Terri Schiavo dies

Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman at the heart of a bitter legal dispute, has died, a spokesman for her parents said.
Mrs Schiavo's feeding tube was disconnected on 18 March, following a seven-year battle through the courts.

Her husband Michael Schiavo had said his wife would not have wanted to live in her current condition.

The 41-year-old's parents fought to the highest level of the US courts system to keep their daughter alive.

12. And CNN continues to demonize Michael...
"His cruelty remains until the end." What a dick.

14. Guardian:
Schiavo Dies After Feeding Tube Removed

Thursday March 31, 2005 4:16 PM

By MIKE SCHNEIDER

Associated Press Writer
SNIP:
``It is with great sadness that it's been reported to us that Terri Schiavo has passed away,'' said Paul O'Donnell, a spokesman for the Schindlers. He said her parents would be making a statement later Thursday.

Dawn Kozsey, 47, a musician who was among those outside Schiavo's hospice, wept when she learned of the woman's death.

``Words cannot express the rage I feel,'' she said. ``Is my heart broken for this? Yes.''

A shy woman who avoided the spotlight, Schiavo spent her final months as the focus of a media frenzy and an epic legal battle between her husband and parents over whether she should live or die.
