The [Wednesday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

The Papers will return Thursday.

New on the site today:

* The Harold Ramis Soundtrack: Are You Ready For The Summer?

* Fantasy Fix: The Big Fish. Adam Eaton vs. Avisail Garcia?

* Cure Cabin Fever! The Cook County Forest Preserves have a new magic bus.

* Four Pinnochios To Obama For Medicaid Expansion Claims. Turns out the revolution wasn't just a t-shirt away.

* Seventh Circuit Court Nixes Boys-Only Long-Hair Ban. Finally some kid really did take it to (almost) the Supreme Court.

* NSA & GCHQ's Dirty-Tricking Psyops Groups: Infiltrating, Disrupting And Discrediting Political And Protest Groups. Turns out the counter-revolution was just a t-shirt away.

* Ukrainian Journalists Work Together To Preserve Documents For YanukovychLeaks. In America, they'd be imprisoned.
