The Saturday headlines that caught my eye
In Wilcox, GA, students are attending the county's first ever integrated prom, as one of the last bastions of segregation, dances in Wilcox seems to have ended.
The debate is growing over whether or not Dzhokar Tsarnev should be denied "due process", be denied access to an attorney, and treated as an enemy combatant. The Justice Department claims that an exception to the landmark decision in Miranda v Arizona from 1966 exists, under a doctrine known as the "public safety exception". But it is supposed to be applied only in cases where there is an "imminent threat" to public safety. I'll leave it to you to decide if that threat still exists now that one brother is dead and the other clinging to life in a hospital.
The death toll from that strong earthquake in a remote area of China has now climbed to 113.
A brush fire in the Monrovia area has resulted in a number of residents being forced to evacuate.
Zack Hemple has written a book on how to catch home run balls at major league games. Thursday night he caught two of them in one game.
CicLAVia will transform miles of Venice Boulevard in L.A. into a bicyclist's paradise, with cars being forbidden on the major East/West thoroughfare. Fortunately for me, there is a crossing point near me so I can get to the movie I plan to see without too much trouble.
I missed this about ten days ago, so now I'll mention that the former Mayor of Mt. Carmel, TN has been accused by three different women of masturbating in his car while driving 90 miles an hour, and would actually hang his penis out the window. What, no cell phone video?
Did some news program really caption a photo of actress Zoey Deschanel as the suspected Boston marathon bomber? Someone needs to be fired.
NBC's "Ready for Love" has been pulled after only two episodes.
Milwaukee Brewers baseball player Jean Segura managed to steal second base in a game, only to wind up stealing his way back to first. One of the most unusual baserunning plays in ages. Search out the video if curious.
Snoop Dog (you can call him Snoop Lion if you prefer) was supposed to be the guest of honor at a "4/20" party in Hollywood, but before he arrived, the police put a stop to the event. Too many people and no permit.
In Kansas, a dog named Gabe was rescued hours after he fell into an open manhole, whose cover had been dislodged by recent storms. The dog was not seriously hurt.
From the "where is the scumbag at" file: a South Carolina cat is recovering from emergency surgery after being shot twice with a small caliber weapon.
Kudos to Neil Diamond, for showing up to the Boston Red Sox first game after the bombing, to lead the crowd in singing "Sweet Caroline".
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has gone on the record saying that her change in policy, no longer allowing Yahoo employees to work from home was not intended to be an "industry narrative".
