1. The Osmond family and their many fans and friends around the world are mourning the death of Marie Osmond's son, Michael Blosil, who ended his life by leaping to his death on Friday in Los Angeles.
2. Andrew Koenig, star of "Growing Pains" committed suicide in Vancouver, British Columbia, according to his father, who played Chekov in "Star Trek."
3. A tsunami generated by an earthquake in Chile has reached Hawaii, but there appears to be no serious damage so far. Ed Driscoll has a digest of news reports on the 8.8 magnitude quake.
4. Here we go again: "A secretive group of Wall Street hedge fund bosses" and George Soros are betting on the possibility that the euro will decline in value. This story sounds believable in light of the turmoil surrounding slacker EU members, who are dragging down the rest of the European Union by failing to exercise fiscal discipline and persuading unions to make sacrifices to get their financial house in order.
5. Moviemaker David Bossie declares that the hippie generation that brought us Woodstock is also responsible for the recent economic meltdown.
6. The Volokh Conspiracy covers the progress of the Akaka bill, which proposes a tribal designation for native Hawaiians (whoever they may be). It's no secret that I am opposed to this legislation, which would open up a can of worms.
