From the Countdown eList:
Basking in the jurors' decision to acquit his client of all counts, Michael Jackson's lawyer suggested Tuesday the singer will no longer share his bed with young boys.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8213544/Jurors took an anonymous poll among themselves early in their deliberations on the charges against Michael Jackson, and it was apparent that most believed the pop star was innocent. Juror Raymond Hultman said he and two others didn't initially share that opinion, but the majority eventually convinced the three that the evidence wasn't strong enough to convict Jackson on the charges they were deciding.

A 4-year-old boy died after passing out aboard Walt Disney World's "Mission: Space," a ride so intense that it has motion sickness bags and several riders have been treated for chest pain.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8214870/We'll also look at some of the big news that got blown out by yesterday's Jackson extravaganza...
Just as the U.S. media -- albeit a month late -- scramble to get on top of the so-called "Downing Street Memo," the Sunday Times in London unveiled another leaked document which confirms and goes behind the message of the memo. Meanwhile, Walter Pincus of the Washington Post has a related, front-page report on Sunday. "Ministers were warned in July 2002 that Britain was committed to taking part in an American-led invasion of Iraq and they had no choice but to find a way of making it legal," the Sunday Times reports.

The 84-page document, obtained by Time magazine, concerns the interrogation of Mohammed al-Qahtani - an alleged acquaintance of Osama bin Laden and an intended participant in the September 11 attacks.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/06/13/utorture.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/06/13/ixportaltop.htmlA vintage cargo plane sheared off treetops and narrowly missed homes as its crew guided it to a fiery landing down a Fort Lauderdale city street on Monday. Three people aboard the plane were injured, along with two on the ground.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8214821/According to originally confidential FBI documents--some written by Felt--that were obtained by The Nation from the FBI's archives, Felt played another heretofore unknown part in the Watergate tale: He was, at heated moments during the scandal, in charge of finding the source of Woodward and Bernstein's Watergate scoops. In a twist worthy of le Carré, Deep Throat was assigned the mission of unearthing--and stopping--Deep Throat.

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/318855p-272572c.htmlIf you see a connection between those last two pieces, congratulations.
That's some of what we're planning for tonight's show.
Finally,
Some people seem to have all the luck. Just ask Donna Goeppert. Earlier this year, she won $1 million playing a Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off ticket, then turned around and won another million-dollar jackpot last week. "What are the odds of that?" the 55-year-old woman said, calling her good fortune "just unbelievable."

Just kidding.
