Coo-coo ka-choo, Mrs. Britney... (Yes, this is far from FPP-worthy, but a story this trashy shouldn't be lost on an old thread.) K-Fed supposedly dating Britney's mom. Half of me feels revulsion at the sheer white-trashery of it all, the other half wants to applaud.
PR Nightmare? Or valid lawsuit. Johnson & Johnson slated to sue Red Cross over trademark infringement. They state that the Red Cross can only use their symbol in not for profit venues. Apparently the Cross has been selling emergency kits with the Red Cross symbol, and JNJ wants these items destroyed. more inside
Lopped off at the ARMs. Is the recent failure of a number of mortgage companies and the turbulence in the stock market just a small indicator of what's to come? "The peak month for the resetting of mortgages will come this October...when more than $50 billion in mortgages will switch to a new [higher] rate for the first time. The level will remain above $30 billion a month through September 2008." Particularly worrying is the default of borrowers with supposedly better than subprime credit. This is likely to result in the first major recession in years. Are we ready?
"I did it" No, not OJ, but a Pole who wrote too detailed a novel after committing murder. He has been arrested.
Battle at Kruger Astounding video of lions and buffalo contesting a calf at Kruger national park. Brief third species guest appearance too. Apparently all over the 'Net, so apologies if you've all seen it already
