The Short List — Thurs., June 26

- The Supreme Court cuts the damages Exxon has to pay for the Valdez disaster to
1/5th1/10th their original value. The best part: Alito had to recuse himself, as he owns Exxon stock and stands to gain from this decision. - The Axis of Evil loses another member as North Korea is removed from the list. That just leaves Iran, right?
- Old school: Tuppeware parties. New school: Taser party.
- Coming soon: The Playstation phone.

- The new Girl gang-banger memoir Love and Consequences is a fake. The fun part: No one figured it out till the author’s sister saw her picture in the NY Times.Â
