Just a quick entry in our continuing series on what you guys are reading: I was just emailed a list of yesterday's top stories. I can't give you exact numbers, but I wanted to highlight the eighth and ninth most popular:

8. Iraq – Main Story

9. World's Ugliest Dog Dies
Sam The Hairless Dog, Age 14, Euthanized After Having Heart Problems
