USDA guts standards for "organic" labeling
In an effort to appeal to the hippy granola eaters, Dubya gets papers to report that he can't ride a bike. Did this peg anyone else's cynicism meter as hard as mine? "Hey, I know what'll get their minds off of Abu Ghraib...". The original story has gone 404, but this is a follow-up to earlier reports that he can't ride a Segway either.

The ValueJudgement entry on the Dubya crash has a screenprint of the weather for the last 7 days in Crawford Texas which exposes the lie of the "It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose" spokesperson quote.
