BUSH CRIME FAMILY:



Bush jokes, Beirut burns
The president has done so at recent news conferences in the United States. He joked about a reporter's garb in Chicago, and joked about a reporter's sunglasses in Washington.

Asian Carp: Can't Beat Them? Eat Them
In the Midwest, Asian carp are making their way up the Mississippi River and its tributaries. The foreign invaders can grow to be 80 to 100 pounds.

FOOD&DRINK:



Dive into a Sea of Good Summer Food
Summer is the eating season. There's no better time to eat locally and seasonally, which today is compulsory. Gorgeous fruits and vegetables spill out of the stalls at farmers markets.
