Welcome again to News from Nowhere for this Monday night. I have a few items to share with you this night about all the happenings going on out there.
I guess the first piece of business is to mention Nick Wallenda's highwire crossing over Niagara Falls on Friday, which ended up a success. Of course, at the end of it all Canadian officials asked him for his passport. It figures.
In other news, the Greek pro-bailout party won the election, so Europe is breathing a little more easily tonight. The whole continent may not end up hurling itself off the cliff after all.
And Rodney King, the man whose beating by LA cops ultimately led to the infamous LA Riots, is dead.
In local news, Friday was Saskatchewan's day of the tornadoes.
A whole whack of them were seen by people and some of them even touched down. Fortunately, there wasn't a lot of excessive carnage, though there was damage.
In auto racing news, the 24 Hours of Le Mans saw the top three finishes recorded by Audi, Audi and uh, Audi.
The NASCAR race in Michigan, on the other hand, was won by Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
In box office news, it was a real down weekend, especially for this weekend's flops: Rock of Ages and Adam Sandler's absolutely lame-looking That's My Boy.
As for me, my monthly column is up (talking mainly about crime) and my Cairns on Cinema June update on where the box office stands, are both now up.
And that is all for now.
