According to this story from the Austin American-Statesman, 7-Eleven Inc. will stock its own private-label beer, called Santiago, starting this summer for $5.99 a six-pack. I never thought about it, but apparently “‘7-Eleven is the 800-pound gorilla in the beer business. It’s one of the largest sellers of beer in the country, somewhere in the top five with Wal-Mart and major grocery chains,’ said Harry Schuhmacher, editor of Beer Business Daily.” I think this will be the most highly anticipated new beer since Milwaukee’s Best Ice! Not.

Eason Jordan, chief news executive at CNN recalls some horrible stories about Iraq that CNN (and other news agencies) did not report for fear that its personnel in Iraq would suffer severe reprisal:

I felt awful having these stories bottled up inside me. Now that Saddam Hussein’s regime is gone, I suspect we will hear many, many more gut-wrenching tales from Iraqis about the decades of torment. At last, these stories can be told freely.

Today’s color is blue. Just plain blue. Apparently, according to a worldwide survey of over 30,000 people, most people chose it as their favorite color. You can take the survey yourself. It asks some interesting questions, like what color you associate with good luck, your local deity, etc. You are given a list of about 45 colors to choose from. My favorite color? Some variation of blue, depending on the day. Except when it’s burgundy. Or black. Or clear.

Yes, he is the new Chief Moose, with his own fan club web site. Best quotes:

“It has been rumored that we have fired scud missiles into Kuwait. I am here now to tell you, we do not have any scud missiles and I don’t know why they were fired into Kuwait.”

“They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone.”

Don’t miss the M.S.S. Throughout History section, either!

Today’s color is burned-out black & white. It’s the color of Saddam’s yacht al-Mansur (The Victor). According to the BBC, it was hit by at least 16 bombs and missiles, but it hasn’t sunk. This is probably a good thing, because it’s floating around in Basra’s inner harbor, and I imagine a boat of that size could really get in the way of other shipping if it was sitting on the bottom. The yacht had a secret passage from Saddam’s private cabin to a lower deck where he kept his escape submarine pod. It’s too bad they’ll never make a James Bond movie about the guy.
