Hawaii's most famous bounty hunter, Duane "Dog" Chapman, is returning to television with a new reality show promising all the capitalization of criminals in unfortunate circumstances and unsolicited bar-side style advice from that woman-you-wish-you-never-started-a-conversation-with (or made eye contact with) of his first show, with the added dynamics of a Gordan Ramsay kitchen. |

A cosmetics company in Gaza recently began selling a fragrance dedicated to victory over Israel and named after the signature M-75 missile that Hamas has been firing across the border. "The fragrance is pleasant and attractive," said the company owner, "like the missiles of the Palestinian resistance." It comes in masculine and feminine varieties, at premium prices (over, presumably, the prices of ordinary Gazan fragrances). Sympathizers can splash on victory, he said, from anywhere in the world. |

The Jap fired ten rounds in all. Then the submarine disappeared in the night. Announcing this attack on an undefended, unimportant cane-&-pineapple port, the U.S. Navy reported: no casualties, negligible damage.”
-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
