M.I.A.: One noted local blogger. Last heard from: Aug. 30th. Whereabouts? Unknown.
- The UF Tasering — Day Three: The police claim that post-arrest, unruly student Andrew Meyer told them they did nothing wrong. Case closed, I guess.
- St. Petersblog has a funny post about the tasering, including a shot of the must-have T-shirt of 2007.
- Party like it's 1994! O.J. faces a life behind bars. Again.
- St. Pete's airport gets a new carrier offering nine flights a week. Is it Jetblue? Southwest? Nope. It's Myrtle Beach Direct Air!
- Round two for Hillary and health care.
- Condi tells the International Atomic Energy Agency to butt-out of conversations about Iran's quest for atomic energy. Because when it comes to rogue states and nuclear weapons, who you gonna believe: the Bush Administration or the I.A.E.A.?
- Racist of the Day: Jesse Jackson, who said Barack Obama's response to a Louisiana case involving six black kids is tantamount to "acting like he's white." That Jesse; always acting like he's black.
- *Rachel goes bye-bye. Again.
UPDATE: I failed to mention in my Jesse vs. Barack item that our sister publication in Sarasota ran a column by Amy Goodman on the case and the "Jena Six." You can check that out here.
