Today in the News:
– NYC Soda Ban is Rejected by Judge
– Cardinals gather to elect pope for troubled Church
– Beyonce, Jay-Z and Britney Spears finances are hacked
A state judge dealt Mayor Bloomberg a stunning defeat yesterday, stopping the city from banning restaurants, delis and other businesses from selling large sugary drinks — just one day before the controversial law would have gone into effect. In his surprise ruling, met with jubilation from soda lovers and small-business owners alike, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling said the ban was discriminatory because it would apply only to businesses regulated by the city and would not treat all sugary drinks equally. The judge called the ban “arbitrary and capricious”. Yes sugary drink equality is very important! Bloomberg said the judge’s ruling was “totally in error” and promised to keep pressing his effort to combat a growing obesity epidemic linked to heart disease and diabetes.
Cardinals gathered in Rome to elect the new Pope will begin voting later, with no clear frontrunner to take over as head of the Roman Catholic Church. This afternoon they will process into the Sistine Chapel to begin their secret deliberations. They will vote four times daily until two-thirds can agree on a candidate. Benedict’s resignation and the recent damage to the Church’s reputation make the choice of the cardinal-electors especially hard to predict. According to the prophecies of St. Malachy, someone named Peter the Roman, should become the man of the hour to lead the catholic church. So let’s see if that comes true, I just hope the cardinals have learned from past mistakes and stay within the age limit of anything between 60 and 70 years old.
US celebrities including Beyonce and Jay-Z have had private details of their finances posted online. Hackers have also put up information, but not credit reports, about US Vice-President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Los Angeles police say they are investigating how a police chief’s private details, including his address and a credit report, ended up online. Other affected people include Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Some of the private financial information posted includes social security numbers. The website uses an internet suffix assigned to the Soviet Union and includes some unflattering pictures of the people who are mentioned. Ah well that explains things…NOT.
