Here and there
There aren't many light/funny pieces in today's Daily News, though the death of this terrorist had potential. Unfortunately, the Russians failed to incorporate any comedic elements into their alleged attack. They could have at least tried to get him when he was on the can.
Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes Anne Coulter's columns, have rejected the plagiarism allegations against her.
The president of the company had this to say to the AP: "There are only so many ways you can rewrite a fact and minimal matching text is not plagiarism." Fair enough, but Anne isn't in the business of writing facts - she twists them and adds in some faux rage for good measure. Her audience should at least be able to expect some creativity.
Daily News writer Eugene Tong has a story about Glendale police dogs getting body armor. Personally, I won't be satisfied until they have guns. The LAPD and Long Beach department don't provide body armor for their doggy officers - sounds like somebody's gotta have a talk with their union.
Finally, Liz Taylor has said she isn't going to starve herself to compete with skinny Hollywood actresses. So for all you casting directors who were thinking, "Liz Taylor or Jessica Alba?" she just made your choice for you.
