• If you haven’t checked out the video of a local man being beaten by some cops for allegedly “resisting” getting his fingerprints taken, you can view it HERE. Apparently, “resisting” now means curled up in the fetal position while a cop kicks you in the ribs.

• While a new report suggests that President Bush’s plan for Iraq isn’t working, Bush takes that to mean that he needs more time to make it work. Someone needs to tell him that a few extra months won’t make dead people less dead.

• Let the bells ring and the confetti fall! David Beckham and Victoria (Posh Spice) have FINALLY arrived in the U.S.! Okay. Now that that’s over, when can we expect Benny Hill?

• And finally, (sorry ladies) the world’s tallest man has gotten married—to a girl two-thirds his height? As Kanye West so wisely said, “When he get on, he’ll leave your ass for a short girl.”
