Good evening. I'm Catherine Lewalski, and these are today's headlines.

Prince William is preparing to make a week-long tour of the nation's Pacific Island colonies Machinist and OA Boy Scouts. As you may remember, the Principality invaded and took over these nations after their leaders attempted to overstep their authority and assert their power over the world. Machinist was converted into a marijuana cultivation farm, while OA Boy Scouts, through a generous international coalition, was rebuilt. It's local economy is currently doing very well for itself.

Auto manufacturers Caravan Corps and O'Donnell and Sons are working to step up production of a car powered entirely on hemp. They are each moving quickly in order to release their car before the other.

The price of honey has dropped dramatically over the past two weeks due to larger than normal quantities being collected. Bee keepers are not sure what is the reason for this honey explosion, but consumers agree that these low prices are pretty sweet.

Members of the so-called "Church" of Scientology protested today in front of the Presidential palace over what they considered to be oppression against their faith. Unfortunately for them, they failed to obtain a permit to demonstrate. Palace Security, working with local police, dispersed the mob. Seven arrests were made.

Turning to International News, the Free Republic of Discordia announced today that it would be opening up a casino upon the artificial island. It will be 4 floors in height, and will have a wide variety of games, including video poker, backjack, craps, roulette, and my personal favorite, slot machines. To accommidate the guests, the Free Republic is also constructing a 6 Floor Hotel upon the stucture.

Finally, Prince William continued his call for increased safety regulations around the Strait of Gibraltar. This comes several months after the submarine attack on Platform #5, now the Free Republic of Discordia, claimed the lives of eleven people. The submarine which did it was never identified, but Prince William still believes that there are some who deserve part of the blame. "If they had just paid more attention as to what was going in and out of that Strait, then none of this would have happened! They have a responsibility to weed out any trouble-makers that intend to enter the Mediterrainian Sea."

No comment has been made by the rulers of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Well, that's all of todays news. Sports and weather are next.
