David Duke, still in Russia, learns of raid at his home. The FBI is investigating whether he gambled away hundreds of thousands of dollars solicited from supporters of his cause. He’s in Russia promoting his new book The Ultimate Supremacism, which argues that Russia and the former Soviet bloc can save the white race from the Jews and the Mafia. The book is being published in Russian (because he can’t find a publisher closer to home?) CNN

Is Queen Elizabeth Losing It? Awhile ago, I blinked the report that she had been entertaining guests doing duets with a singing bass. Now, a day after criticism in the British press for wringing the neck of a wounded pheasant during a shoot, “The Killer Queen” (as dubbed by the Sunday Mirror) delivered a royal “up yours” by appearing in church wearing a pheasant feather in her hat. “The queen would never enter into a public

country sports, but by displaying the feathers
she has made her feelings plain without saying
anything,” a royal aide said. ABC [via Rebecca’s Pocket]

‘Bubble Tea’ Makes Its Way Stateside. “A popular import from Taiwan, bubble tea is a
mix of tea, milk, sugar and giant black tapioca
balls served cold, usually in a clear cup. An

marbles sucked up, with a little effort, through
an extra-wide straw….Boba can be a hit or miss with American tastebuds…” I think it’ll be a miss with me, but at least you heard it here first.
Mob Rule Wins for Dubya. “Texas Gov. George W. Bush appears to have sealed his claim to the
White House through a premeditated mob action that influenced the Dade
County decision to halt a crucial recount.
Egged on by Republican phone banks and heated rhetoric over Cuban-American
radio, a pro-Bush mob of about 150 people descended on the Dade County
canvassing board Wednesday as it was preparing to evaluate 10,750 disputed
ballots.” consortiumnews.com Phil Agre, in Red Rock Eaters’ Digest, agrees.
