...northwestern state of Sinaloa, for new operations against the cartel there. (Over the weekend, the grown son of the Sinaloa Cartel's chief, Juan "Chapo" Guzman, was gunned down by narco rivals in a Culiacan mall.) Perhaps in response, 40 men dressed in black, riding in 10 pickup trucks and armed with automatic rifles, attacked the state police station in Guamuchil, Sinaloa, reportedly leaving a civilian dead and a police officer seriously wounded. Mexico's violence may defy understanding, but there is one thing Washington may now begin to appreciate: just when you think it can't get any worse...
...Saturday before the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, Hillary Clinton stood on the back of a vintage pickup truck in Gastonia, N.C., and let fly in the most impressive fashion - a woman transformed from Eleanor Roosevelt into Huey Long in two short months.

Though environmentalists have been pushing recycling for years now, and curbside pickup is increasingly the norm, recycling rates in America remain low. We care about reducing waste and saving the Earth, but sometimes it's Thursday night, Lost is on - and dividing the trash is just too much trouble...
...SHOT… 1. Every time you see Desperate Housewife Nicollette Sheridan in a high-cut bikini. 2. When you realize that the Fonz is the executive producer. 3. Every time a character says, “A Sure Thing.” 4. Whenever John Cusack says a pickup line that makes you cringe. For example: “How would you like to have a sexual experience so intense it could conceivably change your political views?” 5. For every remark about ugly, uptight New England college students. This shot can be in defiance...
