INteRNatIoNaL NewS Mexico City Legalizes Abortion (aP)- Mexico City officials voted in favor of permitting abortions in the first three months of pregnancy. This decision is likely to set the stage for a contentious court battle in the predominately Roman Catholic country. according to aP, the archdiocese for the Roman Catholic church was quick to respond tuesday, saying it would “evaluate the moral consequences of the reforms” and Cardinal Norberto Rivera would have no public comment until Sunday. agustin guerrero, a legislator who voted for the bill, said there may be no way to resolve such an hotly-debated issue. “This debate, as heated and important as it is, implies that we will have to live with disagreement over abortion, just as we live with disagreements over other issues,” said guerrero, a member of the majority leftist Democratic Revolution Party.
YouTube Picks of the Day Title: Funny Animals
Duration: 3:12 How we found it: A search for ‘funny animals’ Summary: This great video is for cat lovers and haters alike. It open’s with a scene where a cat peers into a sunroof, and the roof closes and the cat’s head is cut off. I found out later it was a special effect. It’s a compilation of cats running into walls, falling down, falling and sliding off of counters, walking on two legs and attacking random things. There is a dog video featured at the end where he appears to be mad at his own foot. The best ones are the cat attacking the cactus, a cat jumping out of the bushes onto a kid, and a cat having a showdown, back arched and all, with its own reflection. And what’s up with the car ad at the beginning, and end, of the video? And what the hell is a Sportka? -Caitlyn Collins and Michelle Ascencio
NatIoNaL NewS Congress Subpoenas Secretary of State (aP) - Congress was in a frenzy wednesday attempting to speed up investigations of the Bush administration by approving a subpoena for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and granting immunity to a former key aide to attorney general alberto gonzales. according to aP, Monica goodling, gonzales’ white House liaison, was granted complete immunity, but not yet subpoenaed, for her testimony as to why eight federal prosecutors were fired. The House oversight committee also issued subpoenas for the Republican National Committee to testify and for documents about “white House emails on RNC accounts that have apparently gone missing, in violation of the law.”
State NewS Anaheim Approves Low-Income Homes (aP) - The anaheim City Council approved 3-2 wednesday to build lowincome housing on a 26-acre lot that Disney has its sights on for a future theme park. The council voted in favor of the housing in spite of a Disneyland lawsuit and a possible election fight. Supporters of the affordable housing project said that the housing is desperately needed for the employees of local hotels and theme parks. “we work for Disneyland and deserve this housing,” said Susana Hernandez, a Disneyland Hotel employee who shares a one-bedroom apartment with six people in anaheim “They just want to make money. They don’t care how we work or in what conditions.” opponents of the housing project said that allowing non-tourist uses in an area that brings in around $70 million would stunt any future growth and reduce tax income.

Title: Men in Coats
Duration: 5:56 How we found it: It was a former pick of the day Summary: These two guys in parkas work with illusions to entertain a live audience. They pull long sticks out of each other’s faces, make a man “elevate” off of the floor, pull a hat out of a bunny, and shrink a man down to half his size. One of the men then hides behind a curtain and reveals only his head on a puppet body. The best part of the clip is the puppet man dancing, including ballet and break dancing. Their creativity is worth noting: they use only everyday props for their illusions. In a related skit, the “Men in Coats Film,” one parka-clad performer even “loses” his head. It’s obvious the crowd is enjoying the act, and rightly so. Everyone likes to see two grown men acting like fools. -Caitlyn Collins and Michelle Ascencio
