Short circuits: There's no shortage of commentary this morning on the ruling by the 9th Circuit. The NYTimes editorial ''One Nation Under God' calls the two short words: 'part of the backdrop of American life' . And the Washington Post with 'One Nation Under Blank' notes that 'striking down the Pledge of Allegiance while this country is at war' is, well, blank. The NY Post says it's 'God-Awful'. From President Bush: 'Ridiculous'.

Short lived? The Senate voting for anything 99-0? Well, they did. This ruling? Here's the LA Times headline: '9th Circuit just following form' with CBS News calling the 9th circuit '..The most liberal and most overturned court in the country...'

Short tempers and skirts? (Couric and Coulter) - Two 'Posts' stand out - Lloyd Grove of the Washington Post and Don Kaplan of the New York Post.

Short shtuff: The site is never short of articles and today is no exception. There are some real goodies hidden back a few pages. Back to the Futures has 'Hillary' advising 'Martha'..More advice from the threads included this timely study that concluded 'Obsessive washing is bad for children.' We'll throw in this gem : Playboy's women of Enron tell tale of boom to bust.

Short end of the schtick: When our offices in New York short-circuited Wednesday afternoon it was our West Coast Staff that kept the site up and running. They have been updating 'Must Reads' constantly to keep you on top of the news, and made it possible for this short-staffed Short Cuts to be produced and published. Don't hate us 'just because we're from California'.

Lucianne, I'll leave the light on for ya.
