Huh. I guess it WAS a slippery slope. Sorry, our bad.
NEW YORK - Authorities investigating white powder found in envelopes at the Wall Street Journal newspaper in New York City and Harvard Law School in Massachusetts said it was harmless.
The powder prompted concern until it was revealed to be a routine cocaine delivery.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is criticizing bloggers and media that she says are perpetuating malicious gossip about her and her children.
“I don’t want my kids brought into this, “ said Palin. “I hate that, almost as much as I hate discussing specific political issues directly relevant to my ability to govern.”
MEXICO CITY - Mexico's self-proclaimed "Grand Warlock" says the United States will pull troops out of Iraq in 2009 and send them to the border with Mexico in an attempt to expand its territory.
They’re going to discover oil in Mexico? That IS outlandish!

Jokes: ships in space, torture on earth, drug scientists
CIA Director Michael Hayden said in an interview that whether waterboarding is torture is "an uninteresting question for the CIA."
"And if it was interesting to us, we’d torture someone until they told us all about it."
CALGARY - Canada's first astronaut says he's ready for life in cramped conditions that will slowly wear down his body and mind.
Then after that family road trip, he’s going into space!
TRENTON, N.J. – Drug company Pfizer Inc., is laying off up to 800 scientists in its latest effort to refocus and cut overhead
Pfizer is helping to locate jobs for the displaced, and also spearheading experiments to create superheroes to save us from the ranks of mad scientist supervillains these layoffs will no doubt create.
WASHINGTON - The head of NASA says the cost of continuing the life of the space shuttle past next year's planned retirement is $3 billion a year plus extending the risk of a deadly accident.
But buying out the lease at this point would be a real mess.
NASA's new shuttle will not be ready until March 2015, which would mean five years of NASA relying on Russia to get astronauts to the International Space Station.
Yes, that’s right America! Oil is down, the economy’s in the tubes, and now you have to depend on Russia for a lift.
A large fuel oil slick spilled into the Celtic Sea is heading to the coasts of Ireland and Wales.
The spill could enrich the already storied Irish culture, as Irish and Black Irish meet Greasy Black Irish.
A toy fair exhibitor in New York is offering a Bernard Madoff doll, which comes with a hammer to smash it to pieces. The doll retails for $99.95.
