  • Dedication: A block near the headquarters of ABC News has been renamed Peter Jennings Way, honoring the longtime anchor of "World News Tonight." Others are just calling it the smoking section. (AP)

  • Port of No Return: President Bush went on the offensive yesterday defending an Arab company's attempt to take over the operation of seaports in Baltimore and five other cities, threatening a veto if Congress tries to kill a deal his administration has blessed. Makes perfect sense to me: we're over in Iraq smoking out the terrorists before they can even get here. Why don't we just appoint Osama bin Laden as the god-damn secretary of commerce while we're at it? (WP)

  • Chucky Auto-Pilot: Martina Hingis disposed of the overhyped 19-year-old Indian tennis star Sania Mirza 6-3, 7-5 in the Dubai Open, Hingis' fifth tournament into a remarkable comeback after three years out of the game. (Guardian)

  • Take Two: The Episcopal Church is said to be electing a second openly gay bishop. The drunk apparently wasn't enough for them -- this time they're hoping for a tina whore. (Advocate)

  • You Said Balls: Internet rumours “name” bisexual football star / In a testament to just how little Americans care about soccer, even gays in this country aren't interested in the so-called salacious tabloid tale of supposed threeways involving big-name "footballers." (PinkNews)
