Bending, if not quite breaking, news from PD News Central:
The lockout of NHL players by the league owners now appears inevitable. Several players have already signed to play in other hockey-mad countries; e.g., Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Fiji. Disc jockeys are dusting off copies of Jeff Hamilton's "Split Season Blues" (okay, it's about baseball, but the feelings are similar) and there has been a rush of hockey fans to buy Gary Bettman voodoo dolls.
In the Excited States, the Democratic party has chosen its 2012 campaign song. It's Bruce Springsteen's "We Look After Our Own." The Republicans might have chosen the same song, although the people they look after are Donald Trump, the Koch brothers, Grover Norquist, et al.
Finally, England has been rocked yet again by photos of Royals en deshabille. Cyril Thogwort-Smythe, leader of an anti-monarchist group, said, "See--that's what it's always about with the upper class: a naked grab for power."
