Jake's Take: Thai TV
All international TV broadcasts have been shut down in Thailand as the unrest continues. Well, if that's what it takes to get "The Apprentice" off the air, I say we start a military march on Washington right now!
Jake's Take: Thai coup
Tanks are rolling through the streets of Bangkok and are just three miles from the Capitol as an apparent coup is underway in Thailand. Considering the usual state of the traffic in Bangkok, I'd say the sitting government has about 16 hours to prepare.

News in Brief: Mister Rogers' neighborhood gerrymandered to serve King Friday's make-believe agenda
MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD, Pennsylvania -- A plan to radically redistrict Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to further cement the control of the powerful King Friday XIII political machine is expected to pass this week and deeply affect current taxation structure, voting patterns, and services. "Meow-me-meow can't afford meow property tax as it stands now meow, and meow don't want everything I've worked for to be destroyed meow," said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. Among the anticipated changes are sharp cutbacks in speedy deliveries, the elimination of trolley routes to such low-income districts as Someplace Else and the platypus mound, as well as the destruction of the Museum-Go-Round to make room for a massive new headquarters for The Electric Company.
