(BPS) Minicult: from the Wall Street Journal- a Huggies plant in Utah is having difficulty disposing of the 20 tons of rejected Huggies they produce every day. The Huggies, stacked 12 feet deep in a local dump, have been causing fires that are nearly impossible to extinguish because the fire trucks can't get through the Huggies. The plan for "mainstreaming" the diapers to prevent the fires pleases the Kimberly-Clarke people because it will discourage the small black market in Huggies rejects that has been running in the area.
(JME) Minicult: from today's Glob- Edward F. Harrington, Republican candidate for attorney general, said today that he favors the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, but changed his mind six hours later.

(BPS) BA-NA-NA.
Lots of people second.
