Posted by Matt Davis on Tue, May 13 at 7:26 AM

1.CHINESE EARTHQUAKE!!! 30,000 people are dead or still missing, following the country’s worst earthquake in three decades.

2.SEX AND THE CITY!!! Premieres in London. The Times sends their most stuck up ponse to review it.

3.HILL OF BEANS!!! Clinton hints she may pull the plug after the Oregon primary. Barack Obama responds:

OBAMA: “You want to put a little money on this game, here, Hillary? How about $6m of your personal fortune?…oh, right, I’M the elitist…”

4.CANNED!!! Man sues after JetBlue forces him to sit in plane’s bathroom for duration of a flight.

5.ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG!!! Is dead at 82, according to the New York Times’ breaking news section. Too bad, because he’d have a lot to make pictures of over the next ten years, starting with that shot of Obama playing pool, the oil crisis, etcetera. Does an artist’s work become more valuable immediately following their death?

RAUSCHENBERG: Kicked the bucket…people use words like “titan” and “giant” around his work, so he must have been good…

Good day.
