An Englishman in New York (not me) uses emotional blackmail to find an American in New York for an Englishman in England on Craigslist:

I usually try to avoid linking to stories that reinforce the stereotype of Americans as truck-loving, gas-guzzling, gun-toting, Constitution-waving, dare I say it, rednecks. But it’s Friday and this story is too good to pass up:

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) – Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state.

Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like “Truck Nutz” and resemble the south end of a bull moving north.

The Florida Senate voted last week to add the measure to a broader transportation bill, but it is not included in the House version.

In a spirited debate laced with double entendre, Senate lawmakers questioned whether the state should curtail freedom of expression in vehicle accessories.

Critics of the ban included the Senate Rules Chairman, Sen. Jim King, a Jacksonville Republican whose truck sported a pair until his wife protested.

The outcome of yesterday’s contest in Pennsylvania seems to depend upon which New York newspaper you pick up this morning. On a sliding scale, the front pages declare that Clinton “slammed” Obama (Post), “outdueled” Obama (Times), “stayed alive” (Journal) and, according to the Daily News “Another Primary and Dems Still Can’t Pick a Winner.”
