Get Off The Bus, Gus: You may have missed the report that the high court has ruled that police can search passengers on buses without their consent. The NYTimes doesn't like the idea. Of course, if a passenger is wearing long flowing robes, very fat sneakers and emitting a ticking sound, allowances should be made.

Troubling Inconsistencies: Billionaire Martha Stewart has had several news cycles to get her story straight on her suspicious ImClone stock sale. As of this morning she still hasn't got it right, at least not right enough to go back to assuring even distribution of the pecans in her cinnamon nut clusters.

Ted Turner, Wack Job: The Guardian publishes an interview with Ted Turner mouthing off about Israel as a terrorist state in yet another example of what happens when one doesn't take their lithium. In NY circles of any stripe, Turner is considered a "putz." With these statements he been elevated from jerk to dumb jerk - that would be a "yutz."

A Quote We Liked: Occasionally a story contains a quote that makes one wonder if we aren't being tweaked by the reporter. This Reuters story is about a man who has been under police surveillance.

Only In America: It is heartwarming to learn that little Amy Fisher has found work as a journalist for a small Long Island paper. Everyone deserves a chance and if the New York Post can keep a dying gangster's daughter on the payroll for a year just waiting for the inside scoop when he dies where's the beef? Victoria Gotti's revelation last Sunday, the day after the Teflon Don was lowered, consisted of telling he was "the wind beneath my wings." We expect just as good stuff from Amy.
