The Weekend Desk Report
By Natasha Julius /Have a safe weekend on the roads, but remember: you may need to plan a little extra time on the way back.
Independence Day
Congratulations, America! It's been 232 glorious years and, as long as we don't try to communicate with anyone or enjoy ourselves, we're still totally free!
Market Update
No need to worry over plunging stock markets, America. Our urge to consume still outpaces the rest of the world.
Better Red Than Dead . . .
It's not that we doubt President Bush's ability to retain his title in this year's Embarrassing World Leader Tournament. It's just that Thabo Mbeki's qualifying entry signals a powerful new force to reckon with.
Going Green
Note to China: this isn't exactly what we had in mind.
Greener
Meanwhile, the United States Olympic Committee announced it would contribute to environmental efforts by recycling former champions.
Chicago 2016
Not to be outdone by this year's hosts, Chicago has announced its totally preventable pre-games collapse is running right on schedule.
Final Notes
And in other news, duh.
