1.WOODS!!! Tiger wins the US Open. Watch highlights at NBC.

2.JAPANESE CANNIBAL!!! Is hanged in Tokyo. He “preyed on high school girls and drank their blood,” writes a rapturous reporter at the Times.

3.CEASEFIRE!!! Between Israel and Hamas, Egypt says. Although by the time you read this, it’ll probably have been broken.

4.MCBUSH!!! John McCain agrees with George Bush on everything bar climate change. Let’s hope he doesn’t also agree about how to win a general election in Florida.

5.SAME SEX MARRIAGE!!! Begins in California, prompting the New York Times to hammer home the photographic point about gay people also having the right to be old, too:17marriage02_650.jpg
NYT: “Del Martin, seated, and Phyllis Lyon were the first same-sex couple in San Francisco to exchange wedding vows on Monday. Mayor Gavin Newsom, left, presided.”

And why not? God bless ‘em…and Good day.
