Rock Bottom: Just when we thought Bubba had reached zero on the cred meter he goes off the screen. In telling a "wildly applauding" audience at a Jewish fundraiser in Toronto that he would go into the trenches and die for Israel he demeans everyone who actually has.

Go Know: The AP bravely describes the abductor of the two California teens as a "Native American." In all the hours of TV coverage yesterday we never heard him described as such. Is this P.C. or bad reporting?

Good Description: Copenhagen police, concerned about a tidal wave of foreign prostitutes sweeping into the city to service journalists and officials there because of the EU have given out this concise advice on how to recognize them. "Lots of lipstick, very little luggage."

Onward, Rushbo: We seldom cite Rush Limbaugh's blog here because it would be preaching to the choir, but this morning he deserves it for speaking up early regarding yesterday's New York Times front page attempt to smear Vice President Dick Cheney.

Brace Yourself: The bad news buried in this piece by the WSJ's Daniel Henninger about the upcoming anniversary memorials for 9/11 is that Katie Couric and Matt Lauer will helm a 6 hour Today Show that day. Here's a suggestion for all of TV Land. Let the screen go dark, play appropriate music and list the address of local churches.

Dress Right: Look around this summer. Not only are Americans fatter than ever but grossly underclothed. The Daily News reports that librarians in a Queens public library want to do something about it. They are telling employees no minis, no T-shirts, not even fleece (what's the matter with fleece?) You've even got to cover tattoos and your nostril stud. We don't know if this will work. All we know is that we will keep wearing black until they come up with something darker.

Today's Picture: Since midnight when our daily picture goes up on the site we have received dozens of emails asking about today's remarkable shot of a shark preparing to feast on a member of a chopper crew. The picture was sent by a long time Ldotter who explains it thusly: "Although this looks like a picture taken for a Hollywood movie, it is in fact a real photo taken near the South African coast during a military exercise of the British Navy." We are happy to tell you, the shark returned to the deep still hungry.
