Good day for news junkies

U.S. nuclear submarine collides with Japanese ship. This is the second time in three years. Do Japanese ships attract our subs like magnets? (AP)

U.S. airship strikes Al-Qaida targets in Somalia. Here we go again. The only difference this time -- we don't have a Bill Clinton to order our military to run away when a single helicopter gets shot down. Oh, and CNN wasn't waiting for the arrival of U.S. forces. (LA Times)

Mystery smell across NYC and parts of New Jersey. Many are wondering if Teddy Kennedy was in town eating Polish sausages. (NY Times)

Another scumbag goes away: German justice system gives 9/11 conspirator 15 years. (The Australian)

Russia cuts off Belarus from its big gas pipeline. I think 2008 may be the year I become a single issue voter for U.S. president: ENERGY INDEPENDENCE. (The Independent)

Pelosi & Co. will write a stem-cell funding bill. I'm unashamedly liberal on this issue. Bush will pen an uncharacteristic veto, of course. (Washington Post)

Mr. Bill Microsoft touts deal with Ford at CES. We've been making funny analogies about Microsoft software in vehicles for years... (Chicago Tribune)
