The Short List — Fri., March 14
St. Pete’s Scientologists have a request for a restraining order against street protesters “Anonymous” denied by a Pinellas judge, and almost immediately the bomb squad is called in to investigate a suspicious package (which turns out to be nothing). Coincidence?
- USA Today ponders if Hillary is about to sink the Democratic party.
- The media digs into Obama’s past, with stories on his inspirational mother and his vitriolic ex-pastor.
- After a busy night, Ashley Alexandra Dupre deletes her MySpace and Facebook pages.
- Stop this thing, I want to get off.
- What’s your credit score? Does it matter? What is a “credit score,” anyway?
- The Harry Potter box office finale: One is not enough.
- Does the quit-smoking pill Chantix lead some people to suicide, or is that just the quitting smoking?
- Time Mag’s Lost wrap. Personally, I thought the “Desmond displaced in time” episode two weeks ago earned an A+, but the following week (”Ben loves Juliette”) sank to a melodramatic C-. Last night the show rebounded a bit, earning a solid B. Hey Lost producers: More A+ please!
