Important news update

Alas, as predicted, 19 Minutes fell short in last week's Milwaukee blog poll, losing out to the perky Marine.

Having lost out on our latest shot at fame (or, perhaps, infamy), we're back to our important mission of keeping you, the 19 Minutes reading public, informed of important world events. So we're pleased to present the following National and International Headlines, which came across the newswire this morning:

• Bush to Engage Skeptical U.N. on Mideast
• Israel to Withdraw All Troops By Weekend
• Muslims Want Further Apology from Pope
• Feds Seeking Source of E. Coli Outbreak
• Toshiba to Recall Sony Laptop Batteries

and, of course, the the story that will no doubt lead tomorrow's New York Times:

• Johansson Happy With Her Curvy Figure

Whether the rest of the world is happy with Scarlett Johansson's curvy figure, is, I would imagine, even more predictable than whether the perky Marine would win last week's blog contest.
